“Some days you just don’t have it”
I saw a Gary V video where he said that about 10-11 days a year he just “doesn’t have it”.
He might feel like crap…
He might not have any motivation…
His head might be in a different place…
Whatever it is, he just feels off.
And his productivity is not there.
Which I’m relating to hard today.
Why?
Well yesterday I was up bright and early at 5:30 to fly out to Scottsdale for our team meeting.
And then I flew back to Austin late last night and got in around 1 AM.
So this morning I’m struggling.
Even writing this email has been a struggle.
Now in the past I probably would have beat myself up over this.
I would have forced myself to push through (even if I was miserable).
But today I’m aware that this is not going to be a productive day.
This is one of those “off days”.
So I’m adjusting my expectations.
And instead of trying to get a bunch of stuff done…
I’m just gonna try to write this email and go to the gym later.
That’s it.
And if I get anything else done today, it’s all gravy.
And this is an important point…
Cause like Gary V said, you’re gonna have off days.
It’s guaranteed.
And if you try to fight through ’em.
Or if you beat yourself up cause you’re not getting enough done…
Then you’re just being hard on yourself for no reason.
Off days are a reality…
So learn to embrace them…
And be a little gentler on yourself when you have one.
Make sense?
I hope so.
Cause that’s all I got for today.
Enjoy your Thursday,
– Justin
