Thoughts for a Monday
“Okay, it’s Monday, but who said Mondays have to suck? Be a rebel and have a great day anyway.” ~ Kimberly Jimenez
If Mondays are “meh” for you and your team, do something to change that. Bring in aspects that make the day more positive.
“Muffin-Basket Mondays.”
“Dogs in the office Mondays.”
“Summer Hours late-start Mondays.”
At the very least, consider ways you can motivate each person on your team. Stop by and talk with each person and give them positive feedback on what they accomplished the previous week. Give them a pep talk about their upcoming tasks and projects. Connect on the personal side, e.g., “How was your weekend?” and validate their experiences, e.g., “How fun! Your kids must have had a blast!”
If you can start the week off with a positive, it can have longer lasting effects on productivity and morale.
