Normally I am a happy type of dude. I was in a pissed mood yesterday. Here are my fixes for being in a bad mood.
- Get more sleep: I need 7-8 hours per night.
- Drink more water: As I work later at night I drink more coffee which leads to me being dehydrated. As I get dehydrated my creativity drops and I get into a fog.
- Lack of exercise: There's something about sweating that gets rid of bad mood mojo.
- Change tasks: If you've run into a road block, skip it and knock out several small issues and come back to the bigger problem.
- Change perspective: Stresses, its never as bad as it seems. Step back, IE6 will eventually be obsolete.
If you find yourself in the fog of a bad mood and you're just not being productive do this. Go chug a couple large glasses of water, take a multivitamin and grab a quick nap.

Lack of excercise: This trap is so easy, I find myself slipping into the trap of calculating how much I could earn, and determining that I should just keep working.
Get more sleep: Very similar. I figure I’ll sleep eventually.
Drink more water: I’m such a coffee addict.
My mind knows that drinking enough water and exercising a couple times each weeks makes feel better, lose some of the weight I want to lose, and have a better week… but it’s so hard at the moment I know I should be doing it. ;)
Dude,
I love the bit about IE6. So true.
I agree, sleep is a biggy for me. I had to pull an all-nighter the other day and it was just bad the next day, because I could only get 3 hours of sleep :(.
i should be sleeping right now.
I am sleeping right now.
hehe, point #6 I tell myself that everyday and wonder when is going to happen!!? godamit
