Famous and infamous question. How do you cope with Mondays? Like really. Never happened to you that… Mondays are just dreadful? Like today for me. I am usually positive but human after so, sometimes, it hits…
i just go about my day, then at night i sleep and it turns into tuesday
Around half of Monday is currently reviewing last week’s and weekend’s blessings and curses, consulting with oracles, witches, and wizards on standing up and handing off, checking the demon traps, refilling the incense holders, etc low risk rote stuff front loaded in case the weekend was rough. No meetings before 10 unless I’m talking with someone from another spacetime zone.
Approved 😀
Schedule regular mid-morning Monday massages.
The harder I’ve worked or more active I’ve been over the weekend the worse I feel Monday. So basically lately I don’t cope.

Just a moment!
Pain is shared… I know AP… I mean, I work )alongside) with AP teams… I know… I know…
I feel people don’t like Mondays because they stay up late Friday and Saturday nights and sleep in Saturday and Sunday morning. When Sunday evening rolls around they can’t get to sleep early enough and go to work Monday not well rested.
I’ve never had a problem going to work Mondays and often say at work “WOOHOO ITS MONDAY” just to see what kind of reaction I get.
I can’t work any more. My life is vacant and boring. Days are all the same and I often lose track of what day it is. Monday is an empty concept that affects other people but not me.
It’s my last day before the weekend, so I just kinda try to make as much money as possible knowing I’ll get to sleep in tomorrow.
I bitch and moan like the rest of us and get about an hour of work done (it’s a productive day).

I have a job I mostly like at a company I mostly like with a boss I mostly like.
I still want to stab myself on Monday mornings.
When circumstances allow, I try to use Monday to tie up loose ends from the prior week and plan/prepare for actions I need to take in the upcoming week. It’s justifiable “real work” that helps me be more effective on the rest of those days, but it lets me ease into the week a bit.
Some weeks this isn’t possible and I have to jump right into Monday like it’s Tuesday. The upshot is those Mondays go by pretty fast usually.
I recognize that for certain kinds of jobs that’s never an option. I’ve had those kinds of jobs, and I may again one day. Folks with a job like that have my sympathy for sure.
I found that living for the weekend was exhausting, and I started making the best of every day.
I can’t live with the idea that the weekend is so far away on a Monday, that all the fun is now over, and that there is nothing for me for the week. I now have at least a slice of me time daily and make myself clean and do projects on the weekend.
It does help that I love what I do. Back when I was working customer service I would create complicated spreadsheets to pass the time. Having goals and some sort of project I control made it easier to get through the day.
I just go to work like an adult
I don’t have a problem with Mondays. Every day is dreadful and my life sucks. Monday is no different.
That’s the spirit
