Morning Motivator - Monday Funday

"Monday is the key day of the week."
- Gaelic Proverb

What is the worst day of the week? Monday? Ah, what an easy scapegoat Monday can be. It is the break from your fun, from your "real life" and the beginning of being back to what you do not want to be doing. Dang, Monday must feel like an Ogre!

I contest that FRIDAY may be the worst day of the week for most people. What?! Friday?! Zach, we love Friday! (I can hear it already...)

Yes, Friday. Why? Because it is the day you are scrambling to do all the stuff you need to complete for the work week that you have put off until Friday. It is the day of deadlines and measurements. It is the day you should be turning it down, rather, you are scrambling to make that last appointment, finish that document or whatever else you did NOT do on Monday.

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP: On Monday, we RATIONALIZE that we have "all week" to get (blank) done. Alas, we do not...well, most of us do not.

What if you broke down the week into percentages? Seriously. What if you said, I will accomplish 25% of my weekly goal on Monday. Then, jut do it! Tuesday, 25%, Wednesday, 25%, Thursday, 25%, Friday, finish anything that was missed in the first 100% or do whatever the heck I want.

Maybe Monday should become the best day of the week. If you CHOOSE to focus on getting a jump start on the week and generating your success early, you will find Monday to be an easy day to win, plus open the doors to new opportunities later in the week when you are able to better focus on new opportunity, as opposed to cleaning up what you did not do earlier.

Its Monday - do something special! Impress yourself with you efforts

Cheers,

Zach
