For most people, Monday may not be the most liked day of the week as it marks the start of 5 days until the weekend. While Mondays probably won’t gain much popularity, below are 5 tips to help you make the best of that day:
-
Start your week with an easy to accomplish task. This will give you an immediate sense of accomplishment and put you in a better frame of mind. It will allow you to start your week on a positive note.
-
If possible, tackle the same task every Monday morning. A routine can help you balance your day and allow you to focus and prioritize.
-
Tackle the most challenging task early on in the day rather than putting it off for later. This will allow you to focus the rest of the day on other less challenging tasks. The satisfaction of completing it will also give you a boost for the rest of the day.
-
Take a break. Step away from your desk/work area at lunch and give your mind time to relax. This will help you feel more focused and energized in the afternoon.
-
Remember that Mondays are just another day. The Monday slump is typically a frame of mind. If you usually use a negative word to describe Mondays, replace it with a positive word to help you reframe your mind.
These tips can also be applied to every day of the week.
