I work in extremes. For the past 10 months or so, I woke up motivated and stayed completely immersed in the flow of work all day. When I get like that, I forget to eat. I don't pick up the phone. My social life suffers. But I really enjoy it.

But now I'm in the "other" phase of the cycle and my brain just doesn't want to do anything. I think she snuck off while I was sleeping. And now all I want to do is dance around the room and play on my yoga mat. I'm forcing myself to sit down for like 4 - 6 hours a day to do work, but instead of working, I've been singing along to gangster rap and perusing this forum.

Any other people here work in extremes? How do you stay productive when you're going through your "slow" phase? Any tips and tricks will be devoured and greatly appreciated.
