Ever since I remember Mondays are the most difficult day of the week. According to the telegraph people have a hard time smiling, even that.
Motivation is quite not there, concentration is poor. I can normally concentrate for between 45 and 1:15 h straight. But mondays I go from 30minutes to 30 minutes.
BTW, No I don't hate my job. I quite like it.
I am not a party animal either. I did not end up totally wasted .....(OK, maybe I did that 20 years ago, seriously....)
What is it? And how to fix it?
For me, there are a couple of elements. (or more like 3)
First, in general, I like to have some organization in place. Often though, I have noticed, I arrive to Mondays unprepared, with an empty to-do list and since I have a relationship with my to-do list this means I feel groundless. So , for next Monday I will try to have a minimalistic todo list both for work and personal stuff.
Second, enforce hard egdes for work. If I know that i am finishing work at 2pm because I started at 6am then that forces me to get productive. However, if I know that I have all day long... to rumiate ....or moan...or whatever distractions take over.
Mondays tends to be a day off from working out. And you know how endorphins get you going , so it might be useful to anyway do a simple non strenuous yoga routine to get the juices going.
Lets see how it goes. Gotta break from habitual Monday patterns or keep trying at least.
