Like most people I suspect I have days where I don’t feel like I’ve actually achieved anything, and others where I’m amazed by how much it seems I’ve made it through. I find the trick is to just keep going steady. Those really productive days are usually the culmination of work you pushed yourself through on the slower days.
Nice tip.
Like Chris, I have times where I leave work feeling overwhelmed and think that nothing got done. Other days I leave feeling like superman.
My trick to combat this feeling is similar to the trick to begin a productive day – choose something small that I can be successful at. Pick one thing that I can start and finish. That usually helps a lot. So if I have a few of these sprinkled throughout my day I generally feel better.
