Don’t Kick Yourself for Your Productivity Failures
Good advice from Time Management from the Inside Out:
The worst thing to do is berate yourself for not getting everything done, for periodically procrastinating, and for slowing down from time to time. The time and energy you spend feeling guilty create a downward spiral of nonproductivity. Even the most productive people occasionally have off days. The thing that makes them good time managers is that they realize these things are a part of life, forgive themselves, make the necessary adjustments to their schedules, and move on.
Don’t kick yourself for your productivity failures. If you do, you might create a downward spiral that makes things worse. Besides, everyone has bad days.

It is crucial for managers/leaders to pass along a permission to fail (so to speak) down the line. Sometimes, when you see a strong employee just hitting the wall, you need to give them a half day, go get them a coffee, etc… Thanks for a helpful reminder.
