Why Monday looms so large
Hating Monday is practically an international pastime. There’s a bit of a collective conscience that Mondays suck.

How To Utilize Sundays To Make Your Week Easier
Avoid having a Manic Monday
- Write down your top 3 priorities to get done on Monday and plan your schedule around them.
- Review your calendar for the upcoming week and tie key tasks or events to it so you know exac...
Get errands out of the way
Sundays are a great day to get your errands out of the way, like grocery shopping. Also, take time for cooking meals, cleaning rooms, or dropping things off at different shops. You most likely don't have the time and energy to do these activities after work.
But don’t spend all of Sunday on these tasks. Even though they’re important, you still need some time to decompress.
Schedule something fun
Make sure you also do something you enjoy, like brunch with friends or spending time with your family.
This gives you something to look forward to during the week and it also helps you to disconnect.

No One Likes Mondays
Various studies have documented the Monday Blues, which essentially is an imposition on the working person, a loss of freedom coupled with the arrival of work-related stress.
Counter The Monday Blues: An Early Start
- Prepare mentally, physically and logistically for Monday in advance, to decrease the dread of unknown problems or tasks.
- It is helpful to have sound sleep on Sunday, with the alcohol consumption minimized.
- It is extremely beneficial to get to work early on a Monday, getting a headstart on things.
- Plan ahead for the week with something to look forward to, maybe on the coming Friday.
Manage Your Mondays Like A Pro
- A special Monday treat, casual dress day, or a pizza day for the entire team can be something to look forward to. Even not cooking that day, or a workout class can bring a creative break to the stressful routine.
- Focusing on your thoughts and feelings helps you absorb the negativity and understand how to steer the mind towards a solution.
- Less social media surfing during weekends also contributes to your positive mental outlook, as the feeds are mostly negative or provocative.
