Creating A Great Monday

… I suggest that you DON’T take Friday too lazily. Make sure you complete all of your tasks for Friday, and try to fit in some of Monday’s tasks if possible.

… Over the weekend, preferably Sunday afternoon, scan through your diary for any appointments & meetings. The weekend might have been so relaxing that you forgot about your meeting during which you have to report back on the month’s progress. Don’t be caught off guard with things like that. It could worsen your mood for Monday drastically, and be very embarrassing!

… Go to bed early on Sunday night. Get up on time on Monday, have coffee or tea, and breakfast at home. You can’t control things at work, but you can at least start your day right at home.

… Arrange to meet a friend for lunch - its always something to look forward to

… If you struggle to be excited about work, get some personal things for your desk. If you don’t like displaying your family & spouse’s photo, try something like a nice potplant?

… Remember to eat healthy - skipping meals is NOT healthy!! Drink enough water. Most headaches are caused by dehydration!

… Smile at people (in traffic especially), even if they ignore you, you’ll still feel better!

Don’t ever wish for the time to pass quicker. Each moment makes up a tiny part of your life story; Make your story as interesting as you can!
