Monday Morning Blues

As the weekend draws to a close, the thought of getting up for work/school/college on a Monday morning appears to fill some of us with more dread then others.

I should rank high up on the list of people who dread mondays.

Because of social conditioning we tend to think, "Oh God it's Monday" or "Thank God it's Friday" (for all the lucky people who have a 5-day week esp the IT geeks)

Some tips to avoid the dreaded Monday:-
1. Ask your boss if you can do a four-day week, starting on Tuesday
2. Set up your own business and declare Mondays your official day off
3. Get a medical certificate by bribing a doctor declaring you medically unfit to work on mondays.
4. Feign selective amenesia by forgetting your way to the office every monday.

Advise to avoid the blues (ever wondered why it is not red or black)

It's not only a hectic weekend that can turn Monday mornings into a day you hate, but a lack of organisation. Have an early night on a Sunday. A late night and early morning start will sap your energy for a whole week never mind a day. And before you go to bed iron your clothes and pack your bag or brief case with whatever you will need for work. Then come Monday morning you will be ready for action.

For an even better Monday, start getting organised and clearing your desk on Friday (Easier said than done, esp when we want to scoot on Friday evenings). If you haven't been able to do it on a Friday, it's worth going in early on Monday before anyone else arrives (what about the last minute beauty sleep??)

It's also worth drawing up a to-do list on a Friday. Then when you get into work on a Monday hit the ground running by doing one or two things on that list in the first hour (I would convince myself that I lost the list somehow)

Till then, friends, Mondays are here to stay. Avoid it ,Hate it, We still have to drag our a*** to work/college/school all the same.
