I must admit, Monday is the worst day of the week for me. Don’t ask me why because I just don’t know. I just have an aversion to going to work on Mondays. I guess I suffer from the “Monday Blues.” The Monday Blues have turned into an epidemic that seem to have swept the country. I say this because aside from Fridays, Monday is the day most people fake illness to get out of working. Try incorporating some of these ideas into your Sunday routine to help you prepare for Monday and the rest of the week.
· Prepare to Be Happy: Happiness is choices, on Sunday, if you’re thinking about that annoying manager or customer, you’re letting that customer choose your happiness. You’ve got to take the choice back. Choose to be happy, passionate and organized, and what you want to accomplish will happen. So how do you -- and your family -- avoid lying awake Sunday night fretting? Write out what’s bugging you. “In so doing, you can solve your own problems,” he says.
· StStop Whining: This is an energy-drainer, so make up your mind not to do it. Does it help you? No. It does nothing and just builds stress.
· AAccept the Upcoming Week Will Contain Change: This constant in business and in life often is a source of stress. When you’re open and flexible to change, you reduce stress, and the passion starts coming up, which means you’re more productive and effective.
· DWhat’s Important First: The hours of 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. are often the most productive. Be ready to defend the morning strenuously from meetings and email, so you can get the most important work of the day done.
