Since I originally wrote this, I've found some new things that help me to feel less crappy at the office:
1) Bike: I commute via bicycle. This gets my blood flowing first thing in the moment, and helps me to feel more alert (and alive) when I arrive at the office.
2) Socialize: Now that I cycle, I don't use every lunch hour to go to the gym. I'm trying to get out and meet new people in a variety of industries (not just software). This refreshes me: getting to know other folks in different lines of work gives me perspective on my work at the office.
3) Get into nature: There's a direct correlation between me taking a walk in a park, and me feeling happy and at peace. If I'm starting to feel "the blahs" at work, a nice stroll by the river reinvigorates me.
What are some things you do, or tools you use, to feel less crappy at work?
- drudru11 14y agoThanks for sharing your experience. When I think back, I realize that whenever I implemented your advice, I did feel "less crappy" 1. Biking to work is a great way to start the morning. I did it for a few years, and I really miss it. My work situation has changed so I no longer have to bike. 2. Moderation on this one if it turns out to be just networking. Also, this tends to be a way to slip into the bad eating habit. 3. I do this as well. Religiously. I have great hikes near me and I try utilize them every weekend. It really clears the mind. Getting up super early has always been the challenge. It requires a lot of discipline in your night schedule.
