How to Permanently Overcome Monday Blues
A simple change in perspective will surprise you
If you think about the last two weeks, can you recollect how you spent your Mondays? Did you have any solid wins or remarkable memories? Do you remember any highlights from the “first day of the week”? Or were they just miserable?
Now, how about Fridays on each of those weeks? I am sure you can pin down to minor details. The dress you wore for casual Friday or the bar you went to during happy hours.
Most, if not all, good things happen on Fridays. The last day of the workweek even has cool hashtags like Friyay and TGIF associated with it.
Monday, on the other hand, is often considered the worst day of the week. According to a study, Monday mornings are so depressing that employees only have about three-and-a-half hours of productive work time.
