Ever had the Sunday Scaries?

by•

Some people really dread Monday mornings because the new week begins, and you have to get back to work. Even if you absolutely love what you do, it can feel overwhelming because we all have a lot going on. What have you found yourself struggling with in the work context? I would love to hear about your experiences for my podcast "For What It's Work", where we tackle common work struggles with a New Work mindset. We spoke about Sunday Scaries and what to do about them, if you want to know more. You can find us Spotify, Apple Podcasts and any other platform you like :) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6aexrAKYNQVZ1xF1vOU32m?si=4fddf37fcd5a43cc Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-what-its-work/id1672614935

I dread Wednesday more than Monday, because away from the carnival of last weekend, but not yet a new Sunday

@sandy_lin6 very interesting! So it's the low point of the week?

Sundays, or at least Sunday afternoons, are my recharge time. I'm pretty extroverted and usually spend a lot of weekend time with family and friends. But I also need a block of time where I do nothing, see very few people, and just focus on myself to recharge. This is Sunday afternoon for me, so depending a bit on the week I've had, I definitely sometimes get Sunday Scaries thinking about having to reintegrate into the world on Monday morning.

@kate_santoro1 Thanks for sharing. I so feel you. As a (i assume fellow) introvert, I also need time to myself to fully recharge. When the weekend feels too short and I don't get enough me time I also dread Mondays more :)

@franziska_kroll The weird thing is I think I'm actually an extrovert but I need that time to charge my battery. I love going out, talking to people, meeting new people, being in groups....but not on Sundays 🤣
Franziska Kroll
@kate_santoro1 haha I also always thought I was an extrovert and then I heard about this theory where they say it's all about how you recharge. Introverts recharge by being on their own (yes that's me) and extroverts recharge by being in social situations. I guess it's never that black and white but haha at least to me that explained a lot about myself :D

Can't wait to listen to this! I WFH on most Mondays so I can take it slow and ease into the week. So that way my Sundays are a little less scary ;)

Hey Franzi! After listening to this podcast episode, I discovered that it is true that even if you love your job, the start of a new week can bring feelings of overwhelm and anxiety. I used to feel guilty about having these feelings! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to listen to more episodes!

@mimih_arteaga Thank you for listening and for your feedback :) Sudnay Scaries have many reasons and whenever you get them they give you valuable information in things that might need to change :)
