Getting Through Monday

FourBear · 29-01-2007, 01:34 AM

What do you do to get through Monday? I personally grab a good coffee and bring some chocolate along, and hope for the best.

Lately, Mondays are busy for me, as I have a client who is giving me a sizabe weekly assignment on Fridays that has to be completed by the next Friday. That project becomes my focus for Mondays. I start off with cereal and coffee and just plunge in. Before I know it, it is getting close to suppertime.

I just cut myself some slack. I listen to great music, get my to-do list together for the week, and just take it one step at a time. I try not to let myself get *too* stressed about it if I can help it. Monday is just another day. Plus, I start planning for the next weekend.

I normally try to fix a schedule so that I start the week with some simple for the "mind."

Doesn't always work well though

Very true. Whenever I try to take it easy on Monday, something big (that's also a pain in the you-know-what) *always* comes up.

It is actually Wednesday that threatens to blow my schedule out of the water. Normally, I have gotten far enough with any assignments that I want to treat myself with some down time, instead of checking on some new assignments to snag.

But in those case, when those days are over, it always feel even better, you've gone through a big pain AND a monday

I find that if I plunge right into my work instead of dawdling, I can get into a work rhythm right away. If I procrastinate, it sets things off to a slower pace. I can procrastinate pretty good so I avoid it.

Monday is quite a hectic one especially when kids have to go to school. I find it hard to wake up early and prepare them for school. It's good that it's a summer vacation. I can sleep or wake up anytime I want

I'm in the corner of those who just plunge right back in. I usually try to get the majority of my work done by at the latest Thurs. so that Friday I can just skate along into the weekend.
