Mondays can be a bit of a challenge, especially after a relaxing or eventful weekend. Some of us might find it hard to switch back into work mode, while others are ready to tackle the week head-on.

I usually plan the week (at least I try to 😅), what needs to be done, what needs to be pushed, what needs to be optimized, and what needs to be achieved.
And after dwelling on this, it comes out of somewhere...'I should probably get started' 🧐😬
And that's how it goes.

@hamza_afzal_butt I need to grow watch time and views and subscribers count on YouTube – of course, the quality amount of users :)

@busmark_w_nika highly effective way to grow watch time, views, and subscribers on YouTube is to consistently create high-quality, niche-focused content . you can naturally increase engagement, retention, and subscriber count over time.
Mondays can indeed be challenging as we transition from the weekend back to work. While some people struggle to get back into work mode, others use the fresh start to set goals and tackle the week ahead. Finding a personal routine that eases this transition can make Mondays more manageable.

When weekends are like weekdays, but without targets... then there's no boundary 😅
@hamza_afzal_butt There's no weekday & weekend, or day & night for marketing and sales person. There's only the time awake and the time asleep. 😅

@indu_thangamuthu indeed 😀
I try to deal with the most difficult task I have. Usually it proves much less daunting than I expected. After completing all other tasks seem easy and I feel motivated!

I get up early and do my 45 minute excercise routine! Gets my mind in shape for the rest of the day! Makes me feel like I'm not lazy and puts me in a productive mood! I then start work early and organise the week and get on top of any emails! Means I can focus my attention on more productive tasks for the rest of the day!

@liam_oram That's fantastic!
@hamza_afzal_butt I started in January and haven't looked back since! It's been a GAME changer!
I tackle Monday mornings by setting clear goals for the week and starting with a small, manageable task to build momentum. It helps me transition smoothly from the weekend and kickstart my productivity.
I usually try to make my schedule by Sunday itself so on Monday i don't feel overwhelmed. And also a founder there's no much difference between Monday or Sunday :)

@priyanka27 Hell yeahh!!!
I start my Monday mornings with a quick workout to boost my energy and a cup of coffee to get my mind focused. It helps me transition smoothly from the weekend mindset to a productive workday.
I organized my things on sunday night for a stress free morning.
To keep going, I think of Monday as a day for fresh start. New week, new opportunities.
The prep actually starts on Sunday - I like to end the day a little early and keep no plans for the evening. Do some reading and plan for the week ahead and sleep on time.
Monday Morning -
-A short run followed by some workout
- A short read - some article or book
- A light breakfast so that I don't feel lazy :)
Thats' it - most of the times this works! :)

Mondays can be a real pain, huh? I totally get it. Well, you could always make it a little better!
So, here's what works for me and my team - we do this quick planning thing on Friday afternoons. Nothing fancy, just a casual chat about what we got done and what's coming up next week. It's actually kinda nice to wrap things up like that.
Come Monday, at least we're not totally clueless about what's going on. Makes that first coffee break a bit less panicky, you know? I (personally) usually start with the easy/less time taking stuff first. Feels good to tick off a few things, even if they're small.
To sum it up, a simple yet effective strategy could be:
1. Wrap up the week on Friday: Summarize accomplishments and lessons learned.
2. Plan ahead: List key action items for the upcoming week.
3. Start Monday with purpose: Review Friday's plan and hit the ground running.
(I'll mostly sneak a peek at work emails on Monday morning while I get ready for the work. Just to avoid any nasty surprises.)
This approach keeps the team engaged and provides a smooth kickstart to the week. It's especially helpful for those who find it challenging to switch gears after the weekend.
What about you? Any Monday hacks that keep you sane? Always looking for new ideas!

@aniash29_cr Mondays can definitely be a drag! I love your idea of a quick Friday planning session. I'll give it a try. As for my Monday hacks, I try to start with a good breakfast and some upbeat music to get into the groove. Then, I tackle the quick wins first to build momentum. It's amazing how ticking off a few small tasks can set a positive tone for the day. Thanks for sharing your approach – it's inspiring!
