Ask Slashdot | Motivating Your Co-Developers? poses the question of what to do when the rest of your work team isn't firing on all cylinders. Reading through it's already mentioned extreme programming and the inevitable periods of low productivity that everyone experiences from time to time. The Joel on Software article is a good reality check - I have days where I just can't get motivated, but the work gets done in the end. Often I'll come in the next day feeling sort of annoyed about the wasted day; and work full tilt until chucking-in time... I guess it's just that ultimately the work must be done, well, on time. A slow day here and there doesn't mean anything, humans aren't machines and it shows.
