*When there is a quota per day/week, or some kind of tracking of work per time ratio involved.
- Eat a great but non-filling but delicious breakfast. (Doesn't have to be healthy, you just don't want to feel sleepy when you're done.)
- Work like you owe somebody money.
- Caffeine pills sometimes work better than coffee. But take it before noon unless you work really late.
- Slack off early until you get bored of slacking, this motivates someone to work harder later to make up for any lost time.*
- Work like there's a chance you might be fired tomorrow.
- Pee often or not at all.
- Do as much work as you can Monday thru Wednesday, so Thursday (or Friday if you work the 5 day week) you can window shop on the online shops.*
- Lollipops.
- Set slack off times (aka "break time") every hour or so... whenever really.
- Work at home.
- Make hotel reservations for a weekend getaway a month from now, make sure mini golf is involved, work hard towards this date.
- Make sure you have access to at least 1,000 songs that you like.
- Set a reward in place to help motivate you until quittin' time, i.e. order pizza @ 6.
- If you have no more drive in your stride, call it quits as long as it's not Thursday (or Friday if you are a loser).*
- Do your stretches and spin in your chair... it helps to get blood flowing and feeling like you are doing something physical.
- Recline whenever possible. It's like stretching.
- When the computer is on, you are getting paid. And just because you're at your desk, doesn't mean you have to be actually working.
- Time yourself and know how long the average time is for you to do your tasks, then plan a crunch time where you work double time non-stop, immediately followed with a break, or calling it quits.*
- Start a blog.
