Simple answer to the question above is no. I don't think Mondays ever escape that lingering despair.
It makes sense though doesn't it?
You've been partying all weekend without many cares of work going unfinished. You have all of the time from the end of work Friday to the end of the day on Sunday to get into the rhythm of just being less tied down to work and sleeping in until noon. Then Monday rolls around, and surprise! You have to wake up early again! Also you can look forward to about five days of work ahead of you.
Yup, Mondays stink, and you can't escape them no matter if you're in cyber school or you decide to start running on Saturday.
Today was one of those days. I wouldn't say it was very unproductive or a bad day. Today I got my school work done which included finishing up a final draft of a seven page, short story we had to write. Also I started a weight lifting plan with my mother, finally finished homework for a youth event we have tonight and picked up some bubble wrap I'll be using for my Halloween costume.
But for some weird reason I still feel like I was extremely lazy today, and accomplished nothing. I think that's why Mondays stink so much. Everybody subconsciously feels the need to finish everything from cleaning the house to completely finishing school on Monday.
So what do you do about it?
I don't believe there is much you can do about Mondays, but let me know if I'm wrong, other than to just except and deal with them.
Sure you can try little things to trick yourself. They did this on an old Nickelodeon show called, 'Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.' At the end the one character named coconut head would always plan some fun thing on Mondays like going to the movies so instead of dreading Mondays he would look forward to him. Problem solved!
I always remembered that tip for some reason, and I think it could work for a lot of people, but when I would come home from school on Mondays all I'd want to do was sit and rest up for what I consider the worst day of the week in public school, Tuesdays.
I'm side tracking a bit, but seriously Tuesdays are so awkward. They don't have the excitement from the beginning of the week, and they aren't in the middle like Wednesday. They just stay at the beginning where you still have about the whole week ahead of you. I never liked Tuesdays.
If you are a bit OCD like me, you can always try to combat the Monday fever by making yourself a 'to do' list of the rest of the week. This usually helps me organize my thoughts, and spread out my work so I don't stress myself out too much.
Another big way I get around Mondays is by scheduling things that will keep me going throughout the day, but also allow me break time so I can slowly wean myself from the weekend's party mode.
Overall Mondays aren't something to get too worked up about. They are only one day out of the week, and if you think about it they really aren't that scary.
