I know I’m not alone in saying that Mondays are literally the WORST! By the end of most Mondays I am ready to crash on the couch and start the weekend all over again, but alas we need to carry on. So I’ve come up with a few simple things I do to make Mondays more bearable.
Make dinner in advance
I love cooking more than enough food on a Sunday so that we have leftovers for the Monday evening. Dishes like lasagne, pies and pastas are great. This way I can have a delicious meal ready to pop in the microwave. Plus we also save on dishes.
Plan something fun for Tuesday
Whether you need an evening of takeout and Game of Thrones or a dinner with friends, having something to look forward too always makes the day go by faster.
You could make plans for Monday night, but I like to chill it out and rather head out on Tuesdays.
Treat yo’ self
Whether it is a special cappucino or a diy nailpolish, rewarding myself after a particularly hectic Monday makes it ever so slightly better. It is the little things!
To-do list
Making a to-do list is a great way to start any day, but sometimes sneaking in a few easy to complete tasks helps start a great trend for ticking off the items and getting sh*t done.
Go to bed early
Making sure you start the week well rested not only ensures a more productive day, it also means you start the day without having to press the snooze button multiple times. Now if onky there was a way for me to get to bed on time.
When all else fails, just get a cat or two! They make everything better. Hope your Monday flies by!
