Manic Monday: How To Deal With Mondays
Many people dread Mondays long before it comes. It's because it's the end of the weekend and you'd have to go back to work again. However, there ways to deal with Monday mornings better and as a result of a good Monday, you'd also have a better week.
Preparation Is Key
In everything, you have to be prepared for Monday because the more prepared you are at the start of the week, the better your day and week will be. Listing all the things you need to do by Monday and getting all your reports ready is a good idea, according to experts. Planning is a good thing whether one is planning a holiday or one's work week.
List Priorities
Listing things is a good way to get organized. This is as effective when you apply to your job. On Mondays, prepare a list of priorities for the week so that you can accomplish many things instead of focusing on too many details. Narrowing things down is definitely a good idea, according to Laura Vanderkam, the author of "What the Most Successful People Do Before Breakfast."
Wake Up Earlier Than Usual
Since many of us all hate to wake up early on a Monday morning or any morning for that matter, there is a need to wake up earlier on Mondays to get enough time to slug around the house and get things done. This will give you enough time to get everything for Monday morning sorted.
Use the Weekend To Unwind
Before Monday arrives again, there is a need for you to use your weekend to unwind. If you had a lousy weekend, chances are, you will have a lousy week as well, according to experts.
Have Breakfast
Not the breakfast person? It's time to eat like a king in the morning. Food is the body's fuel and if you don't have enough fuel, you will run out of steam long before the end of your Monday. Eating a healthy breakfast is key to a wonderful day and it's also good for the health.
Another good thing about breakfast is that you won't have bad breath stemming up from an empty stomach.
