Have something to look forward to. For some people it’s their next holiday, for me this year it was getting a new pair of headphones. I don’t really listen to music unless I’m at work and trying to focus, so I got myself a shiny big new pair of headphones with noise cancelling and that made it a bit easier coming to work knowing I’d have a new toy to play with.

The same way I get through a normal work day; lots and lots of coffee.
