Currently struggling with this, I've been sick the past four days and am just now getting back to work. I'm trying to just put my head down and grind through it, but I'm dragging hard. Hopefully this coffee will jolt me awake enough to sort through the ridiculous number of emails that came in yesterday.

Step away for a bit. Take a walk, get some air. I also try to find a small goal to knock out and start building momentum. If that doesn’t help, I stop working entirely and give myself some space to come back to it later. Trying to force it doesn’t help at all.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

So I get that in a corporate set up, you are supposed to be sharp and witty and think on your feet. Trouble is, I am extremely slow with comebacks. (Think Ross in Friends/Amy in B99) at the crunch moment, I generally end up not being able to give a good roast back. Unfortunately the best of them come to me like a few hours later (dinner/shower/TV) and I am left ruing and amazing opportunity to have gotten one back. I am awful at jibes and roasts.

Anyone else suffer from this?
