Really enjoyed your post. So many valid, solid tips to improve the productivity and burnout. Great review for what needs done be productive.
I find that to do lists help me so much with productivity. There’ something about cutting the items off the list, once completed.
I agree that it can be so difficult to find motivation on a Monday but you are right in saying that it is good to set objectives and goals on these days.
Monday’s set the tone for the rest of the week for me. If I take it easy on Monday, the rest of the week seems lethargic too.
These are really helpful tips to become more productive during Mondays! I agree, having a good night’s sleep the day before could also help you kickstart your Monday with a great mood!
