Monday is usually considered the most disliked day of the week, especially for all those employees who start their new work victories after a free weekend. However, it often comes down to the negative atmosphere that is created because things are viewed stereotypically. In fact, successful people have a completely different view of Monday and Monday morning. Most are aware of the work dynamics of the day and the chaos that happens or can happen, but they don’t let it overwhelm and scare them. How do successful business people behave on Mondays?
Successful People wake up early and exercise
– Exercise helps with alertness and concentration, so it’s great to do it on Monday morning before going to work. Exercise also improves mood.
They eat a healthy breakfast
– Hunger intensifies stress and nervousness, so before such an important day like Monday, when everything is picking up, it is very important to have breakfast and preferably a healthy choice.
They arrive early, among the first
– Being an early riser is excellent, especially on Monday. When they arrive earlier, they get used to the atmosphere, have an overview of more things, and can take a breath before everything starts.
They clean their desk
– It’s better to work on a clean desk, so successful people clean their desks before the week ahead and organize files, so they know exactly where everything is when they need their papers. They also clean their computer alongside their desk and delete anything they don’t need while organizing what they do need.
Successful People are friendly to colleagues and bosses
– When other colleagues and bosses arrive, they greet them warmly and with a smile. This brings a positive work atmosphere, a spirit of togetherness, and most importantly, improves the mood.
They make a list of things to do
– It’s very important to have a plan, both daily and weekly. Successful people are well aware of this, so on Monday morning, they make a list of things to do on a specific day of the week and the whole week.
They visualize
– If they have bigger tasks, they visualize their positive outcome, but the same goes for smaller tasks because everything consists of smaller steps that can be handled well.
Successful People smile
– For many, this is not even in their thoughts, however, a smile is the best way to combat high stress and nervousness. In addition, we recognize successful people by their smiles, that is, they stand out from others with their positive attitude. Also, a smile is contagious and can relax and make others laugh.
They emphasize the human side
– It is usually thought that successful people are cold and unapproachable. However, they have a sense for people and emphasize warmth and humanity. When they write their first email on Monday morning, they will write something like: ‘Good morning, I hope you had a nice weekend…’ These are small things that break tension and stiffness. They behave the same towards colleagues, and coworkers.
They know how to say ‘no’
– On Monday morning, there are many things that can break concentration, and you simply cannot do them all at once. A successful person will know what is urgent and what is not, and will politely say ‘no’ to those who are not necessary at this moment, whether it’s emails, calls, or colleagues’ requests.
Successful People Focus
– Concentration is immensely important. There are private matters that could occupy us, but successful people stay focused on work. Private matters should remain private until we leave work.
They know that Tuesday exists
– In the chaos of Monday, we can sometimes get lost and think that the world will stop turning if we don’t do something we started today. However, some things are better not to force and leave them for another day.
