Motivation 101

Afternoon has you feeling sluggish and finding yourself slowing down? Late night deadline and you need to wake up your brain?

Before you reach for another shot of caffeine, try a tuna fish sandwich or some tuna and crackers. The omega-3 fats will give your brain the biggest boost for your buck. Throw in a few stretches and a little walkabout and you’ll not only be able to stay awake, you’ll be mentally sharper and more accurate while slicing and dicing your client’s project.

Feeling isolated in your work and a little down in the dumps? . . .
