1 hour of running / cycling first thing on the morning 2 cups of coffee 3 kids to school and GO!
By doing small tasks and focusing on my priorities
Bit of a lifehack, but I've been using As Project Manager to organize my workflow. Their dashboards are super intuitive and it's been a game changer in keeping the chaos of Monday morning in check.
I think that if you start doing something, no matter what the main thing is to start further, it will pass by itself, Monday is considered to be a hard day after rest. But the advice is to work on the weekends)
If you do a 30 mins run or gym on Monday, you gain the achievement feeling and it makes the entire week different.
Figure out what is giving me the scaries or blues and at least start the task. Generally what's giving me the blues is not nearly as bad as I'm making it out to be. A good sweat early in the day helps a ton too.
For me nothing works better than start a day than a long walk with our dog 🐺
Up early and get some tasks done. Then when everyone else starts work, go for a run.
Doing my plans on Sunday and making everything ready, To use as little mental energy as possible to start the week!
What works best for me is to not have a "Monday" at all. There's so much pressure and emotion tied to Mondays that there was once when we decided to start the week on Tuesdays and end it on Saturdays, and everything suddenly started to feel much more positive and relaxed. If you have work flexibility, you can give it a try.
You can also have your work/life scheduled on a rolling basis rather than a fixed weekday/weekend setup. By doing so, you can work and not work more naturally based on your needs, and Mondays start to feel meaningless. You still need some metrics to keep you on track, and you still have to do some stuff on certain days, but other than that, you can forget about the days of the week.
