[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok - here's what I would do.  Switch up your diet/exercise/sleep routine a bit.  You need to get rid of that sluggishness.  Are you taking a multivitamin?  Maybe add some B-12?

Pick a week when you can put in a little bit of extra time and get caught up a bit.  Clean up your desk.  Reorganize things a bit.  Basically - make some small changes that might indicate to your boss that you're trying.  This is not acquiescence to her criticism - it's trying to turn over a fresh leaf.

While I'm not saying that you're doing a bad job, it also seems like you're in a rut, and your boss has picked up on that.  Why would she appreciate you when you are sluggish and unenthusiastic?  It's a cycle - and you can take steps to break it.  Her negative criticism might well dissipate if she sees you making efforts to turn things around.[/quote]

OP here.  These are good suggestions.  I do take a multivitamin--pre-natal.  I sleep between 8-9 hours per night.  Exercise=none.  Diet is pretty good.

I agree with your suggestion about making some of these changes, but at the same time, I am now pretty annoyed and feeling defensive about all the criticism from my boss (today's criticism particularly annoyed me).  She's a total micromanager, which I used to be able to cope with, but now all the constant reminders and checking up on me is really irritating me.  Today's criticism (which was particularly harsh) made me not want to bother trying to work hard anymore.
