Personally, if I'm in a slump I will go ahead and play 2-3 monobattles or 4v4s; games that really don't matter to me whether I win or lose. I find that this allows me to get back into the mind set of the game a lot better. Also, I never play ladder 1v1s during the week, only at weekends; because I always seem to play like absolute crap during the week. I find that I generally reach my peak performance on Friday evenings each week.
But yeah, I play for sh*ts and giggles during the week; then play actual games on the weekend. This is just for me, some people don't notice any difference at all; but I find that playing this way works best for me
