Mondays, everyone’s favorite day of the week, I know, I love it too. On a serious note, the dreading that comes with the beginning of the week really isn’t based on the actual work of the week starting. For most workplaces Monday is a slow day as nothing has been set into motion yet. Mondays can actually be utilized to make your whole week a lot better. For starters you can use this time to plan out your week as a whole. Organizing your week from the start can help you work more efficiently, getting more done in less time. You can prepare and setup everything you need beforehand so it’s ready for each day. It can also save you a lot of stress later on so surprise tasks given to you don’t become overwhelming.
Something else you can do to make your Mondays more productive is to review the past week’s work for the company. This way you can catch any mistakes that may have been made to save company resources. Even if none were made you could look at everything and see if there was anything you would change for the work process in the future.
Last and probably the most appealing out of the three, is saying thank you to your workers or coworkers for the previous week and getting them ready for the upcoming new one. Our Distinctive Thank You Card is the perfect card for this purpose simple but to the point, and you can fill the interior with whatever message you’d like. Or if the purpose is more of an informative one, our Correspondence Note Cards are free of any default artwork and can be used for whatever purpose you desire. Whether it’s recognizing employees’ accomplishments or passing along information for the week it’s another effective way to spend a Monday in the office.
These are just some ways you can make those Mondays less of a drag and more productive. Enjoy!
I actually love Mondays. I love to get the day over with but get organized.
It’s all mental! If you wake up thinking it’s Friday, it’ll pass by completely differently.
Mondays are not that bad and I agree with Omar. I do think that in the Winter they can be a bit challenging though
Mondays are tough – especially when returning from a vacation or holiday break.
Some people can be really dramatic about Mondays. I understand it’s the first day after the weekend, but everyone knows it’s coming sooner or later.
Siiiigh….this Monday was especially brutal because I woke up sick. I agree with those who said it is all mental though.
The problem is not that it’s Monday, but that you haven’t worked in two days and you liked that. First step is to think I want to work, then you are home free.
I don’t mind coming to work on Monday because it gets me away from all of the work I have at home.
I just can’t seem to stay alert and be as productive on Mondays
