HATE MONDAY!
Actually it poor for the Monday. Why is it that it always hated? While the weekend is always a day-dewakan didewa. Then, fate Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday ...?
We are back to their activities on Monday after taking a break on the (mostly) Saturday - Sunday. Maybe between us there is a need to re-mesh with the name of job stress and deadlines. Or maybe even Monday is the examination? Whatever it is, there is no other way to avoid Monday. To be honest, I'm also not a boxing day. I never hate Mondays, but sometimes stereotypes are given to Mr. Monday is making me go a little lazy to deal with Monday.
There are some tips to overcome the "I hate Monday" :
1. Use the weekend wisely and not too much sleep during weekend.
Most
people use the weekend to pay the debt for lack of sleep and wake up
very late. Whereas the body needs time to adjust to a normal schedule,
so we feel lazy wake up Monday morning and feel more sleepy. My personal
tip is go to the Church (if you Christian) on Sunday morning, I am
lucky because our Sunday service begins at 7.00 am ! So, we have to wake
up at least at 6.00 am if we;re not want to be late, prepare my
daughter for her Sunday school and get ready. This will make you more
prepared for Monday. Use the weekend to re-charge your energy optimally.
2. Do a to-do-list jobSometime, we don't
know what to do as soon as we reach the office. You may avoid this with a
to-do-list job. List all the tasks you'd like to do on Monday, begin
with the simplest one. Don't be too ambitious too, and avoid to conduct a
meeting on Monday morning if it possible. Because sometime, our
weekend-leg-effect brain doesn't want to cooperate. I think it would be
better to have a meeting on Tuesday or Wednesday.
3. Try to create something interesting on Monday.For
example, dinner with old friends or with your spouse or just promise to
talk by phone on Monday afternoon. Go to the gym on Monday evening, or
go swimming on Monday evening, have a hair spa after work and etc.
4. Give a special appearance on MondayFor
women, you may wear a different kind of perfume and different or new
shoes etc. It will give you more spirit to deal with Monday. Don't be
too shiny like wearing a shining nail polish or heavy accessories, just
wear something bright like blue, light pink, or green blouse. For men,
you may wear a bright color tie, etc.
5. Give equal time among work, family, and yourself.Allow
time for family and yourself during the weekend time. Spend the quality
time with them, don't have to be expensive, an activity like back-yard
barbecue on weekend is a nice thing to do with family during weekend.
It's important to have a great weekend to re-charge the energy for
Monday.
6. Love your work and try to smile in the morning.If
you had to love your job, Monday was not a problem anymore. Try to
smile on Monday morning in front of your mirror :) The smile will help
to clear up the negative feelings and bring back the good mood. So,
smile..it increases your face value.
7. Be thankful.There
will be no Friday without Monday. So, be thankful for the job itself,
that we still have the job. It will make us appreciate the blessing and
give our best to do all the tasks. The positiveness will shine through
us and will spread to people around us. Have a great Monday :)
