Today's Monday again.
As much as I want to feel excited on this day, I feel tired for some reason and it is always been like that. It shouldn't be the case but since I started working Monday has been my most hated day.
When I try to dig deep into some of the reasons why I saw some articles justifying that my hate for the day is valid just like the other people are.

Maybe you are like me that have a mountain of reports and accounts to reconcile?
I am working in the accounting side of a major insurance provider in the U.S. and mind you, the accounts receivables are a mess. Monday is also the day when we report to our leads on what are our plans for the whole week. Oftentimes, what I input are the ones that I think I need to focus on, but we all know that it doesn't happen always. As reports and emails pile up whatever plan you do it seems like the workload will never end. Plus the unanswered email from weekends.
My usual workaround on these blues is to turn off my emails at least half of my day. I can easily be distracted with emails thus if I saw one that needs a reply I reply back the soonest dumping the current task that I am doing. My colleagues and some of the underwriters that I worked with are familiar already with this setup and if immediate intervention is needed my phone lines and chats are open.
Maybe you went on a fantastic vacation and since today's Monday you are now back to your reality?
I admit it, each time that we do an extended weekend rest day Monday is one of the days that I do not look forward to. Plus the fact that our company doesn't give their salary on Mondays. We are on a bi-monthly pay scheme and gets our salaries every 15th and 30th if one of the two will fall on weekends or Mondays we get our salary every Friday. Imagine, you already splurged your money and not expecting anything anymore.
The usual workaround that I do on this scenario is on Sunday evening, I'll get plenty of rest enjoy all of the stuff that I need to do, meditate, run whatever I think I can do to remove the idea that Monday's coming I do. I try not to spend too much during weekends and not withdraw any cash so that my mind will be conditioned still that I will be getting my money.
Conditioning of the mind plays a vital role for me if I experience such Monday blues, and yes as of writing I still don't feel like going to work later tonight. But I don't have a choice. I have bills to pay and my workstation is a meter away from our bed.

Hi! Did you know that most, if not all employees are most productive on Tuesdays and Wednesdays?? This is because Mondays are hangovers of the weekend and you more prepared to work on a Tuesday because you already have an idea of what needs to be done... And Wednesday just feels like we are in the middle of the week and it will soon pass.. Of course Thursdays are the new Fridays and Fridays are like... Well, weekend welcomers!
This idea kind of helps me with dealing with Monday because I just radically accept that Mondays are really hard days to get to work because of the weekend.. So by thinking and "knowing" that I am and will be more productive on Tuesday, I kind of like just let Monday ride in its own. After all, whether we do something or not, the day will pass and end too right😎😎 now crawl and get some of the work done! Cheers!
Mukhang magandang idea nga yarn. Haha productive naman ako pagdating ng Wed. Tuesday nako extension lang ng Monday tapos yung Thur naman wala na.... upos na ako 😂 naghihintay nalang mag Byernes at tutulala sa pc.
Di to maganda 😂
Definitely, the worst day of the week. At least, 4 more days na lang Sabado na
Honga anu hahaha tapos mah Sahod pa sa Byernes! Hahaha mas nakakatamad. SL SL 😂
