You already have some great suggestions above, so I won't belabour them. But a little "Monday Math" can also work wonders. Whenever someone is complaining about it being Monday, I remind them that Mondays constitute 1/7 or 14.3% of their lives, and that perhaps it would be better to find something enjoyable about those particular 24 hours. The math always gets them to pause and think. Cheers! John Nice post, Kate.

Last week "Donna" did this for me and it was a crazy pick-me-up! Sweet! Pop into the office with a cup of coffee for one of your peers – just surprise them by sitting down for a 5 minute chat.

Please keep the ideas coming. I want to expand this. Wouldn't it be nice on a Friday we say "what a great week" instead of the old "TGIF". Come back and add new ideas as you discover them in your daily life! Kate These are a great start. Please keep the ideas coming. I want to expand this.

As something of a serial procrastinator, I like to take at least one task from my list and complete it on monday. I often get several tasks/projects going at the same time. I'll do a little on each thing, but they don't get completed. So now I try to actually finish one thing, even if it's small, to start the week off right. Julie Great idea, Kate!

With a smile and joyful tone, remembering ever day is a gift. Second thought, clean up on Sunday. Prior to turning in on Sunday night spend some time tidying up your surroundings. Leave your kitchen counters clean and do the dishes. Monday morning make your bed. Much thought time, and energy is wasted Mondays dreading the work you have to do when you get home. The simple Sunday night ritual will free your mental mind space, and Monday while out and about in your work day, you will rest easy knowing when you get home there is nothing to do but relax and put the feet up.

Commit an act of kindness either on your way to work or first thing when you get to work. Brightening someone else's day always seems to brighten yours. Another is to get up just a little early and get some exercise - somehow seems harder on Monday's but always worth it. Here’s two ideas.
