It wasn’t pretty, but we got the W. We often hear this after winning quarterbacks when their teams salvage a victory in an ugly game – one with a lot of mistakes on both sides, one they definitely could have played better. We all have bad days – ones in which we don’t feel particularly productive. Maybe you didn’t get accomplished due to a lack of energy. Maybe your plans were thrown off track by a lot of unexpected interruptions. Maybe you spent the day putting out fires. So what can you do to salvage the day? What can you do to get the W? One idea is to pull out the to-do list and find a handful of things you can knock out quickly. If you have 100 things on your list and you can get 5 done, that’s five percent of the total number of action items you had. Sure, it might be the quickest five, but each one has a way of weighing on you, so taking care of a few will give you a feeling of accomplishment. Then, go get a good night’s sleep, wake up early, and get a fast start the next day. It’s sort of like getting a quick score before halftime and then scoring again on the first possession of the third quarter. A two-for.
