Back to Work: Smooth Routines to Boost Your Productivity

Bret and I returned from the lake last night, and today it was surprisingly hard to stay upbeat at work. Coming back on a Thursday might not seem bad, but when everyone else is wrapping up their week and getting ready for the weekend while you’re just starting yours, it really wears on you.


Today we had to film a promotional video for our new website that launches at the end of September. I felt miserable — exhausted, with dark circles under my eyes, my hair in need of highlights, and a flare-up of adult acne. Not exactly my best look.


Fortunately, Erica (E-Love) was in town for a conference and suggested getting dinner. Nothing beats catching up with a good friend over sushi when you need a pick-me-up.


Thanks, E, for making my day — and for the laugh when you showed up in that Prius rental!
