What is the most effective way to reduce Monday's stress?

Have a goal list of Todos on Sunday night.

We are planning, setting priorities, and starting with a positive routine.

Use the weekend to recharge with activities that relax and refresh you, helping to ease into Monday with less stress.

Avoid overloading your Monday. Set realistic goals to prevent feeling overwhelmed.

You can start Monday by listing three things you're looking forward to. Shifting your mindset to focus on the positives can reduce anxiety.

Why Monday is stressful

Soak it it. Life is hard and if you want your life to be great, you're going to have to suffer.

Here's what works for me to reduce Monday stress: 1) Reflect on the week ahead on Sunday evening and jot down priorities to focus on rather than a huge to-do list. Seeing the big picture helps! 2) Build in some 'me time' on Monday morning before diving into work - even just 15-30 min of meditation, reading, or exercise to start the day calm & centered. 3) Schedule the tough tasks early in the day to get them out of the way. Momentum builds through small wins! Hope this gives you some ideas to try out.

Have a great workout Monday morning!

Shifting your perspective can help reduce stress and make Mondays feel more manageable.

One thing at a time.

It depends a lot. But for me personally, it's in reducing the stress factor literally - doing a work when it's possible and preparing to all new challenges and requests. All other coping technics, like walking on nature, are more like supplemental ones.

I think that it is worth to observe your week goals first, then split the tasks per day due to priorities and dls - and proceed being effective :)

Over the weekend, spend time with your family, and on Sunday night, prepare your Monday to-do list in advance.

Ride a bike, or go for a walk :)

Plan your Monday on Friday, prioritize tasks, and start with a clear to-do list

My biggest tip is to write down all the things you have to do for the week and even the next week. Place each task into buckets - Today, Tomorrow, This Week, Next Week. When I write these down in a planner (analog), I'll use what I call the "Highlighter Method." Green = Today. Yellow = Tomorrow. Pink = This Week. Orange = Next Week. I do this so I can see the entire list and prioritize them in the matter of importance in real-time. If I'm able to complete all my tasks for today before EOD, I go ahead and work on Tomorrow. I've found this helps minimize the stress because instead of seeing 1000 of to-dos, you see 5 todays. Hope this helps!
