We've all been in slumps. It usually comes after those times where we've been doing the daily grind for a long time. We're not looking up much, but getting stuff done. After a while we get tired. Worn down. Uninspired. When I get to those points, I try to take some time (maybe even just a half day) to STOP. I look up and around and what's going on. Where has my deep digging work gotten me? Am I off course? Do I need to adjust? Sometimes that's enough. Other times, I need a change of scenery....
