I also notice that on days when I have little to do, I feel slower and less motivated. That's fairly easy to solve - just add a volunteer or work project that is fun to the mix.

For me, strong coffee and some good classical music set the background for getting things done. Focus on the task at hand, and don't get distracted too often. Take SHORT breaks every hour, and then get back to work.
At the end of the day, look at your list of things you've checked off, congradulate yourself for getting things done, put it away, and pick it up again the next morning.

What do you do in your professional life to build social capital? What tools/tips/questions have you found to be effective for you in building these quality relationships?

Personally I call myself a connector whilst I'm working with Enspiral - I connect people, places, things, ideas and locations to make things happen. I think the important thing is listening - without that you can't really be that connector.
Enspiral itself is all about building social capital in the sense of social enterprise - supporting purpose over profit. We focus our talents & skills on great projects/relationships with NGO's & Social Enterprises.... we're kind of a social enterprise FOR social enterprises you could say.
I also co-host a series of workshops which supports idea innovation & project incubation for social innovators in Wellington, NZ - where I now call my hometown.
So in essence - listening & analysis helps build networks and pro-activity/action helps build social capital I guess?

I once had an admin who was really mean to me until I went and checked out one of her plays (it wasn't a political move, I really wanted to see the play). The other thing I do is find opportunities to be with people in non-work settings. Going to a conference and then hitting the dance floor, always seems to change the dynamics of the relationship.

I don't know that I believe perfectionism is all that bad - like anything, it can get out of control, but I look at it as just another work style. Working in a start-up, one of my key lessons to learn was to sign off on something when it was "good enough." But I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gotten hired had I not been so meticulous and results-oriented in my past positions. My boyfriend, on the other hand, has a more big-picture approach. I think the key is just to recognize your work style.

To pretty much everyone else's point we all have points in our jobs where we may have to go against our style a bit to get the work done. Like your boyfriend I am more a of big picture guy myself and tend to get demotivated if I have to spend too much time down in the weeds, but throughout my career I've had to demonstrate that I could also focus on the detail every now and again to get things done. Otherwise I would just be floating around in the "idea space" and those ideas would never get executed. There is definitely a give and take there.

I've read countless personal development books, but I always come back to the conclusion that a lot of times we don't seek out self-help books to help ourselves, we seek them out so they can do the work for us. As part of my coach training, I've had 3 coaches myself, and it seems the only thing that *sticks* is regular work with another human being who holds me accountable. Yet the self-help industry booms, while coaching is still trying to find a name for itself.

I'm an inbox zero fan (clearing your inbox to zero every day), but found that I was also obsessively checking and responding to emails. Now, in addition to inbox zero, I've only been checking my email and Google Reader three times a day (7:30 am-9:30 am, 1-1:30 pm, 5-5:30pm) and literally closing those browser tabs when it's not one of those three times.

Self-Sabotage...I know I do it...what "stupid excuses" do you use to sabotage getting something done, whether at work or in your personal world? (like, "I can't throw stuff away b/c there's no liner in the trash can.") My 5-year-old niece came home chanting the "Bear Hunt" litany of "can't go over it, can't go around it, can't go under it...have to go through it!", which got us all thinking about our stupid excuses and how we sabotage ourselves.
