- It’s Monday again, and you have the power to determine comes to you or not.
- Life offers you so many doors, it’s up to you which one to open and which one to close.
- Have a good choice making Mon-Day
So if you are dreading the first day of the week and are lacking the motivation to do your best at work, then follow these tips given below to stay productive!
It’s not that you don’t like your job, but sometimes the thought of all the projects waiting for you can be overwhelming. Don’t worry – that’s normal! Here are three tips for making Mondays more manageable:
Clean Up Your Act
Before you leave the office on Friday, get ready for Monday. Organize the stacks of paper and files on your desk and put things back in their place. Coming in to a tidy office will make you feel less frazzled on Monday morning. I’m not nearly as overwhelmed when my desk is clear of files than when I’m greeted by stacks of toppling paperwork that I have to move so I can sit down.
Make a Plan
I love a good to-do list. Whether you keep yours on a sticky note, a whiteboard, or a project tracking tool, make sure to update it on Friday. Knowing exactly what’s on your plate will help you to prioritize your time. The more impending tasks you remember Sunday night, the harder it will be to envision having time to complete them all. A clear plan of action will keep your projects on schedule.
Set Yourself Up for Success
I’m a huge fan of the snooze button and have become an expert at finding ways to shave time off of my morning routine. If you’re not a morning person and enjoy giving your snooze button a workout, prep for the week on Sunday. Have your work bag ready to go, pack your lunch, and decide what you’re going to wear in advance.
