Today was a hell of a Monday for sure. When you have those moments when frustration is building, how do you push away from the desk to get things to cool down. Today was one of those days where no one wanted to do their job and all the fires were raging.

How do you cope with these days?

OP it sounds like you and I had the same exact day. I literally wanted to scream because I was just so frustrated. Honestly I just keep my head down and keep moving forward and try not to get hung up on the fact that nobody else is doing their job, the only thing I can control is whether or not I do mine.

Five-minute walk outside if possible. If not, a long one-minute stretch standing up and moving to a new place. Not because it immediately helps the situation in any way, but because it’s a blood flow trick that can help boost mental clarity.
