How to improve Mondays

If you live your life dragging yourself through Monday you've essentially resented one-seventh of your life you’ve written off one a year out of every seven before it's even begun to remember Mondays are really like any other day they aren't actually cursed anomaly babies are born on Mondays people to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries and people win the lottery on this dastardly day's Mon day isn't by nature an unlucky orbed day it shouldn't be confined to the naughty corner just for being the start of thereon that point until the end for a very surprising fact about the first day of the week. 

  • Number one end off on a good note to make the start easier think of Friday as the start of your Monday before you close out your workweek spend some time wrapping up some hard things and clearing the quick items off your to-do list this leaves your mind clear of worry and niggling thoughts on the weekend and makes Monday less of a dread factor when Monday does roll around you know where you're headed and what tasks to tackle first we’re not going to go into the details of a good workflow and the value of making lists here because we already covered that in our video ways to stop procrastinating. 
  • Number two don’t polarize the weekend and the workweek as much there’s no need to make Monday all work and no play how come Friday How to improve Mondays gets all the fun why not make Monday your hobby night or the night you kick back and binge a series instead of the takeout night being Friday make it Monday or plan a lunch with a friend on Monday instead of Saturday brunch the more you blend your highlights the more you shift focus from the work week being some restrictive desolate place you have to endure until the weekend where you can live again. 
  • Number three doesn't go into it exhausted Monday is often tough because we ‘repaying for our weekend activities it’s easy to push the weekend party to extend through Sunday night too and by Monday you need a liquor license to transport all the residual booze your body is still carrying around if imbibing is your thing we're not here to change your social life but try making Sunday a quiet more so be situation Monday you will be very grateful for getting outside try getting some cardio in perhaps pamper yourself a bit and plan an early night when the alarm goes off on Monday morning you won't be quite as horrified as if you were still up at 1am watching in go ark
  • Number four starts with a healthy rewarding treat Monday is a popular day to kick start new routines eating healthy exercise routines or diets all get scheduled for Monday but more often than not by tea time they’re forgotten or bumped up a week Monday is as good a time as any, to begin with, your healthy kicks why not get in as early as possible make it a rewarding experience meet up with your How to improve Monday's bestie for a sunrise walk treat yourself to a fresh smoothie on your way to work or use your lunch break to browse new yoga tights spring for a little spending if you must you can't put a price on health and it’s not worth delaying for another week. 
  • Number five begins with a win when you’re planning for the week on Friday give yourself some of the easier tasks for Monday morning this has two full benefits one you get to ease into your workweek the other is you get to make a long to-do list into a shorter one quite quickly the confidence boost the encouragement will give you will be the motivational boost you need to make the most of the rest of your Monday. 
  • Number six doesn't reply respond later don’t even think about your emails when you get to work on Monday catch up face to face with your colleagues and focus on that to-do list we already mentioned emails can be so bombarding and throw off your priorities everyone is busy on Monday morning so delaying How to improve Mondays a reply until after lunches perfectly acceptable in 99 of cases than once your own to-do list is a bit lighter turn to emails and order your responses or actions in terms of priority and add them to your list to deal with so often we let items that beep or pignut us take priority when they're really unimportant also, the replies we dash off the moment they come in aren't always our best work slowdown and respond later instead of reacting to notification tones. 
  • Number seven makes Mondays meeting free if you can remove reporting meetings from Mondays they can come with a lot of dread and stress for you and your colleagues, it makes almost no difference if your week runs from Tuesday to Monday nonexample still involves five workdays to get the job done feeling like Monday is a completely fresh slate brand new week whole new workload etuis a lot of pressure for one day. 
  • Number eight make a mental map of three-week method preached by many success coaches are prospective meditation it’s a kind of flipping forward to see what we plan to achieve by the end of the week and some of the successes and challenges you expect to face along the way then once you know what's coming you explore these in your mind how will I feel when x happens or what will I do if happens it's like a mental self-defense class allowing you time to imagine the possibilities and prepare yourself for how to respond rather than react poorly because you’re caught off guard but there is another side to this called retrospective meditation this is taking stock of the week in the same way what has happened what went right what went wrong you examine your own responses and how you could have done something differently or where you really shone or maybe should improve this time of taking stock makes people more grateful for what they have and are more focused on improving themselves for the future try it out it might just be what you’re looking for to take you to that next level.
  • Number nine prioritize your priorities this is different than a to-do list, this is a higher flying look at your priorities, for example, spend some more time with your family this will remind you to push through and punch out at 5 pandas go home perhaps you need to remind yourself that you're here to save and start your own business this will help you not to sweat the small stuff that bothers you around the office maybe you need to prioritize your own career so list your career goals in black and white so you prioritize your work and stay conscientious even on a Monday knowing you have bigger priorities then just the job at hand will help remind you not to get bogged down in the mundane but look at the bigger picture and focus your attention ahead of yours. 
  • Number 10 layouts as much of your week on a calendar as possible a desk calendar is a wonderful thing or if you prefer digital they're useful to make a list of everything you need to fit into your week then find a time slot for all of it in your calendar before you waste away your days scrolling Facebook and forget to take your pet to the vet or talk to your boss about a raise having it all laid out also allows you to see when you have time to work on actual work try to block out large sections of your day without disruptions you can boost your productivity try and make your meetings back to backs you can waste less time moving to and from meetings and gearing up for them. 
  • Number 11.pack a power lunch for Monday…… lunches can be the best if you have leftovers from the weekend feasts or if you use your Sunday night to pack a great lunch box having that little thrill of knowing a great lunch is coming is all a part of the silver lining that will help you make Monday more positive. 
  • Number 12 smile Charles Darwin the man who looked at finches and cracked evolutionary science was also a big advocate of smiling he posited that the free expression by outward signs of an emotion intensifies it, in other words, a smile on the outside and you’ll start feeling it on the inside in more recent studies there have been plenty of data to back this up so if you can't get your head around Mondays grin and bear it and before you know it you'll be genuinely smiling
  • Number 13 doesn't give Monday all theocentric not to pay it so much mind in many ancient beliefs on the happiness they suggest that a happy life is best lived in a flow from one task to another not giving more weight to one over another brushing your teeth and blowing out your birthday candles can both be lovely in alif lived inflow each have their place each is important if nothing else Monday makes Friday shine all the more it’s a little yin yang for sure but if it helps to stave off your Monday blues then take back the power from Monday adjust to make it part of your flow. 
  • Number fourteen don't forget to rest understate we get so excited to have time off on the weekend that we jam-pack it with activities and late nights the exhaustion makes Monday all the more daunting don't underestimate the power of sleeping in a little or what a nap could do for you when we rest our mind and body reset it gives us time to come down to normal and get out of a cycle of rushing if we don't allow ourselves this time we’ll live our lives on a hamster wheel rushing aimlessly until we burn out rest is also a time to check in with yourself to stop the busyness and take stock of your feelings to examine your mind and look at yourself a bit more emotionally there’s no need to carry along past frustrations with you deal with them and leave them in the past this way when Monday rolls in you won't be still wired and emotionally wrought you’ll be ready to tackle things with fresh energy. 
  • Number 15 make Monday one of the gang there’s no need to ostracize Monday to all things work-related there are plenty of Monday activities like quiz nights happy hours or yoga classes pick your poison and give Monday a fresh spin why can't you go to dinner with your girlfriend's plan tinder date or bioligand if you have a family maybe your kids also need to walk on the beach and ice cream to make Mondays more manageable you can thank the Babylonians for the traditional week but the truth is that Monday doesn’t deserve the shade it gets for being the first day of the week in western countries Monday is actually the second day of the week even though you might think that Monday means the day of hell and reckoning it actually translates from the Anglo-Saxon word mundane DE which means the moon's day so it’s actually, quite innocent and sweet moon day say it with me moon day see nothing nefarious about it.

Why You Should Never Visit The Dark Web?

Why You Should Never Visit The Dark Web?  Why You Should Never Visit The Dark Web? We’ve been through this in other shows so we’ll make it short, and we are talking about what the dark web actually is. You see, the internet as most of us know it, the bit you are using right now, is only a small part of the web. Sources don’t agree on how much, but it’s said the part of the web that we can access using ordinary browsers is only about 10 percent of the entire thing. You can also find sources that say it’s four percent or even one percent. Still, it’s thought there are about 1.8 billion active websites on the net, although, again, you can find sources that give a different number – much higher sometimes. This doesn’t of course mean that the rest of the web is the dark web and full of dark marketplaces, otherwise, we might have cause for concern. What it means is that the rest of the web, which we call the deep web, is used by private companies, governments, etc. It is invisible to

Most Evil and Dangerous Places in the World?

Most Evil and Dangerous Places in the World? Let’s imagine you were around in the late16th in the Kingdom of Hungary. You’re not exactly from a family with wealth and so when your parents receive a letter from a grand noblewoman by the name of Elizabeth Bather, they feel extremely honored. What could such a well-respected and rich woman want from your peasant family your parents wonder at first, and then on reading the letter they discover that Elizabeth is looking out for the poor and just wants to teach you, their son, some etiquette. Overjoyed by this incredible offer, your parents send you off to the great Factice Castle. What you and your parents don’t know is that they’ve just sent you to a castle we can rightly call one of the evilest places in the world.  5. Factice Castle  After hearing what happened there you might think nothing tops it in the realms of evil, but we can assure you that there have been worse places. Elizabeth Bather didn’t have a very nice childh

Donald Trump and Narendra Modi use Data Science to Win Election?

Donald Trump and Narendra Modi use Data Science to Win Election Donald Trump and Narendra Modi use Data Science to Win Election We turn now to new allegations about a data firm tied to president trump's 2016 presidential election. The firm is called Cambridge- Analytica. And on Friday, Facebook suspended its parent company. The reason given by Facebook: it said Cambridge Analytica lied when it said it had deleted information about several 100,000 users. But multiple reports, including an investigation by channel-4 in the a.m., suggest that the scope of what happened here is far broader. A former research director for Cambridge Analytica has come forward to say that the firm harvested data from more than 50 million Facebook users. Cambridge-Analytica denies that it violated fakebook’s rules and says it legally uses the data it collects to create detailed profiles that are then sold to third parties. You know, Cambridge Analytica, it may not be a surprise to find out, is a

What Happens After You Die?

What Happens After You Die? What Happens After You Die? Death is an inevitable consequence of living, and someday we will all reach the end of the road, breath our final breath, and find ourselves six feet under. There are many theories on what happens afterward and where we end up, but one thing science can tell us for sure, is what happens to outbidders it just slowly decay away and become part of the earth, or do strange things continue to go on as if we were still alive? That’s what we’ll find out today, in this episode of The Infographics Show: Your Body After You Die. Most of us would rather not think about what happens to our bodies after we die. In the west, when someone dies, there is usually a traditional funeral so friends and family can say goodbye and get a sense of closure. A mortician will embalm the body as a way of slowing down the decomposition process, so that family members can remember their loved one as they once were. For some, the end is less dignified;
