Reward and Renew Yourself

One of the reasons people lose their enthusiasm for being efficient and productive is that it can feel like a relentless grind—there’s always more to do

If I have a lot to get done, I’ll make some reasonable commitments to get things done but I also allow time for renewal before diving back into work

Also, treat yourself as you would a valued employee—give lots of praise and encouragement for the great stuff you get done.
