Sheer will mf. One large primal scream later, I feel much better. Trying the chin up thing – when stuck, do a set of chin-ups. And the screaming thing. And the guitar thing. And any other thing I can think of to shake off feeling stuck. Any other thing to keep my but in the chair, and my mind stringing words together (and not wandering the net).

Have to admit, I can’t tell if any of these tricks really makes a difference at all. What works one day doesn’t often work the next, or at least not in the same way, and I half wonder, if when I do feel better, if the change had anything at all to do with what I did.
