Every 5 years we get to choose something from a limited catalog of Tiffany items. Crystal glassware, money clips, and jewelry. The pearl necklace I wore at my wedding was my 5-year work anniversary gift!

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
