Pace Yourself

In best-selling novels, the perfect pace runs at 10% intervals. Humans experience life to the fullest when pacing their ups and downs occur to at this 10% interval rate.

Wake up and do something joyful and exhilarating that you love. This provides your up.

Switch to a negative.

After you feel refueled with your fun, joy-filled activity, move onto a task you need to complete, but find less pleasant.
