7 Hump-Day Tricks, Courtesy Of R29’s Busiest People

It dawned on us recently that Bon Jovi may have really been onto something. Though we spent years belting out "Livin' On A Prayer" as part of our Friday-night playlist, we realize now that we had it all wrong: The '80s tune isn't the soundtrack to your junior year of college — it's the unofficial anthem to Wednesdays as a grownup.

You see, Wednesday is the official midpoint between that Monday-morning buzz and the very different buzz you plan on getting Friday at 5 p.m. You're halfway there — just like Bon Jovi says. Yet, come Wednesday afternoon, you get a serious case of the "But, I don't feel like it"s. So, we tapped some of our very own staff for the ways they stay productive — and awake — at their desks through the work week. Ahead, seven R29ers share their Hump-Day tricks. You'll make it, we swear.
