Plan on at least one weekend a significant effect
Nothing to do - it is, of course, great. Sleeping, lying around, snapping channels, watch funny videos on YouTube and do not look at the clock: everything that we dream Friday night. However, if you have dedicated the whole weekend only idleness in its pure form, it is usually on Monday halloo to one another: "Well and that I killed those two days ?!". So try to plan (and implement) at least one constructive action over the weekend. This can be something useful (finally repaired cabinet), pleasant (finally got the girl in the theater) or creative (finally built a kite son). The main thing is that by this action was a tangible result: then Monday morning you will have hard evidence that the weekend was not in vain.
Prepare everything the night before
There is nothing worse than bleak the Monday morning ride around the apartment in search of the necessary paper (keys, flash drives, unwrinkled blouse, etc.). Spend 15 minutes on the eve of the fees - and then in the morning you will have an extra 15 minutes of sleep, or a hearty breakfast. Speaking of clothes Monday - the same day that it is best not to experiment and put on a proven, favorite thing, where you will feel stylish and comfortable.
Do not leave the "tails" from Friday
If at the end of last week left some thing that you still have to finish on Monday, scroll to it at least a little time on the weekend. Keyword "a little". Sometimes even 20 minutes of thinking about a problem with a fresh mind can greatly facilitate your life on Monday. If the left, for example, the unfinished article - google on the same topic at the weekend, relaxed music. If the problem is large and complex, make at least one small step, one approach, or simply make a plan work, without forcing yourself you because no one is standing over your shoulder, you're doing it for yourself.
Do not break mode too quickly
It's too late to go to bed on Saturday, and wake up at 3 pm on Sunday - it's a bad idea. This unhealthy sleep, and sleep is sometimes worse for the body than not have enough sleep. Firstly, you will have lost a sense of the day: just woke up, and it is evening, and to work tomorrow. Secondly, your body definitely will remember you all this: on the night of Sunday to Monday, you'll toss and turn without sleeping, and in the morning get out of bed in the form of a zombie.
Have mercy on your stomach
If your work schedule is so severe that lunch normally get once in a hundred years, have mercy on yourself at least a week. Do not go to bigmachechnye and other fast foods, not to buy chips and soda for the evening, if you are on a diet - do not tear because Saturday: Why, weekend, relies also relax! Incorrect statement of the problem. Eat better fresh greens, fruits, vegetables, and finally cook something tasty and healthy for yourself. From the perspective of the health of your body, it will just be "relaxing." And on Monday, you will feel much more refreshed and rested.
Start Monday morning right
Wake up a little earlier than necessary. For half an hour. At first glance, it sounds absurd: to steal from themselves half an hour of time. But look on the other hand - these are actually half an hour still to your output. Take them to the bath to your favorite music for a hobby, for a walk, do anything "neponedelnichnoe". This will help to relax and positive charge in the morning, and in the end you will enter into the track.
Spread the work is done correctly
If possible, spend the morning of the mechanical work that requires no special intellectual cost. Sort the letters in the mail, raking paper, do what you know how to do "on the machine." Thus, dive into the depths of everyday life will be smoother, and the chances of "nakosyachit" will decrease in the morning.
Smile
Even if you do not want. Monday morning - it's a time when a chance to run into undeserved rudeness in the street or at work is incredibly high. Smile people, even mechanically, through the power of: colleagues will thank you, to the same smile - an interesting thing, it automatically improves mood after a while, though not much, but it same.
Plan on Monday night something good
Wake up on Monday and knowing that now it is another ordinary day - it's not the same thing to wake up and look forward to a nice evening after a hard day. Sign up for the evening to the hairdresser or schedule an appointment with a friend over a cup of tea. Download an interesting movie and leave it on yourself "dessert." The mass of options. The main thing - the whole day you will warm the idea of the approach of evening.
Start preparing for next Monday now: think out a chip on the weekend - by the way, they have gone 5 and 4.5 day - dig up an interesting recipe that you would like to try to find yourself is something attractive in the near future. Life is much easier when you have ahead is something alluring, interesting, intriguing.
Have a nice work week!
