Austin Kleon:

... I put every really nice e-mail I get in a special folder.  (Nasty e-mails get deleted immediately.)  When those dark days roll around and I need a boost, I open that folder and read through a couple e-mails.  Then I get back to work.  Try it: Instead of keeping a rejection file, keep a praise file.  Use it sparingly -- don't get lost in past glory -- but keep it around for when you need the lift.
