I'm having one of "those" days ... the sort where more productive output would have been achieved had I either:

a) stayed in bed, or

b) spent the day at Borders looking for a new book to read,

c) caught up on some of the domestic chores I've been neglecting lately while working on Team Effect

However, progress is not made by snoozing, browsing bookstores, or doing the dishes - so I have a little trick I like to use to get through dry spells like today ...

"Sooner or later you will win. All I managed to do yesterday is improve the color scheme in FogBUGZ just a little bit. That's OK. It's getting better all the time. Every day our software is better and better and we have more and more customers and that's all that matters. Until we're a company the size of Oracle, we don't have to think about grand strategies. We just have to come in every morning and somehow, launch the editor."

 Fire and Motion, Joel Spolsky

So now all I need to do is get one-little-thing-done.

THEN I can go to Borders.
