How to Successfully Start Your Work Week – Five Pieces of Advice to Make Monday Your Favorite Work Day

Forget about the sentence: “Ugh, Monday!” and decide to have your work week start great instead… Why not make Monday your favorite day of the week?

All you have to do is – change your attitude about it. It makes no sense to think about “how much more until weekend”, because it is precisely such thoughts that kill your productivity before you even begin your work week.

Here’s some advice to help you change your opinion about Monday and feel excitement and a surge of motivation for the week ahead.

Rest

Always rest during the weekend. Allow yourself to laze about and enjoy things you’ve been fantasizing about the whole week. For some, it’s a bottle of good wine, for others, it’s a movie they’ve wanted to see for a long time. It is precisely things such as these that make weekends different from the work week and allow you to forget about the stress and the worry and recharge your batteries for the Monday morning.

Live a positive life

This rule doesn’t just apply to Mondays, but you should practice it every day. Even during those days when you’re wondering what you’re doing wrong in life and why some things are just not working out for you. You should always remember that life is much more than one bad day! Exercise positive thoughts and make everything you do in life have a positive vibe to it. Your thoughts, your words, your status, your social networks.

Get up early

But also go to bad earlier the night before! Getting up early is, no doubt, the biggest motivation you can think of. That way, there are more hours in a day and you will feel invincible no matter what you do. Productivity and being proactive will create the best feeling possible.

Make to-do lists

Make lists for everything you do and do it often. That way, you will not miss anything, but you will also try harder to finish all the tasks. It’s also not a bad idea to plan the calendar so as to better organize yourself in general.

Take regular vacations

The key to Monday productivity is in regular vacations that you need in order to clear your head before each next task. It makes no sense to work for 10 hours straight, because you will feel exhausted and lethargic, and we don’t even have to mention the lack of productivity.
