The Cure For Monday-itis

Write your to-do before Monday even rolls around! Plan your diary for the next week, block out some time, and even set reminders for yourself if there’s a specific task you need to do by a certain time.

Whether that’s a catch-up with a friend after work, a delicious meal you’re preparing, or even a nice shower or bath, make Monday the day to treat yourself! It’s easier to get through the day when you’ve got something to look forward to.

The things you’ve put off doing on Friday sometimes come back to haunt you when Monday morning rolls around. Sticking to a schedule is good because not only will you feel more organised and in control, it also forces you to look at your ever growing to-do list and prioritise what’s really important. Our handy tip? Have a ‘Monday Masterlist’ where you can dump all the things you need to do and pick the tasks that you could realistically achieve that day.

Maybe it’s a lunch time walk around the block, a cup of tea in a quiet corner in the office, or an extra ten minutes of reading time. Whatever it is, make sure you schedule in little breaks during the day. Not only will it make Monday go quicker, but it’s nice to take a breather anyway.
