We all hate Mondays, maybe because it’s the start of the week and the end of the fun and relaxed weekend. Mondays return us to all the responsibilities of work and personal life, which is why we get anxious.Â
But what if I tell you that you can make Mondays a great start to the week? Isn’t that exciting?
For most people, Mondays are like a gloomy day when they have to go back to work. However, you can make it refreshing by planning it. With proper planning and organization, you will be able to welcome Monday with open arms.
Here are a few tips to make your Mondays productive:
Identify your important tasks:
Mondays bring a lot of responsibility and hustle, which you can’t run from. But you can make it easier by planning your tasks. Take your planner and list all the important tasks you need to complete on Monday. You can do this exercise on Sunday evening, so you don’t need to rush the next day. Make sure to do it realistically and avoid overwhelming yourself.
Start your day with fitness:
I know it’s hard to leave your bed on Monday mornings because you are still in that weekend mode. But adding a little workout to your regime will give you a fresh start to the day. Exercise will prepare your mind and body for the week. You can go for a run or maybe do some yoga at home or whatever you prefer to get that rush of endorphins in your body which will make you feel optimistic about Monday morning.Â

Go to bed early:
People often spend their Sunday evenings partying or clubbing, but I recommend you reconsider your plan. This is because sleeping late on Sunday night will make it difficult for you to wake up early on Monday mornings and hence the same hustle. However, if you go to bed early, you don’t have to dread the next morning.
Plan your schedule and go to bed on time. Resist all the temptation and climb the bed earlier to start your week feeling recharged.Â
Plan a fun activity:
I know it’s challenging to feel energized as soon as you wake up, but if you plan a fun activity, then I am sure you will be excited to execute it.
So pick an activity or task you like to do. It can be anything from gardening, maybe Zumba class with friends, or many more.
Moreover, you will wake up with a spirit that at least you have something fun to do on Monday, and after this activity, you will automatically feel excited for the rest of the day. Â
