Mondays get a bad rap, and it’s no wonder: Mondays kick off the work week and most of us have to go back to the office. On Tuesday, we resign ourselves to it, but what to do on a day when there is still an eternity until Friday?
Not only is Monday not particularly good in itself, but it often ruins our weekends. Psychologists even coined a special term “Sunday fears” – it is used to describe the state of anxiety and sadness in which we plunge before the start of the working week.
However, Monday doesn’t have to be a terrible day. TikTok recently introduced a new “minimum Monday” technique that lets you experience it losslessly, and possibly even fall in love.
What should minimum wage Monday look like?
The idea of the concept is that on Mondays you allow yourself to do only those tasks that absolutely cannot be postponed. In other words, you don’t have to answer every email – only choose the ones that might turn into a pumpkin tomorrow if you don’t answer them.
As a result, your first working day after Sunday will turn into a kind of compromise – on the one hand, you do not sit idle, on the other hand, you do not feel exhausted and devastated by the evening. Catch an extra bonus: you’ll have enough time for really important and relevant tasks, postponing everything else.

What if the “minimum Monday” does not suit you, because absolutely all cases are urgent? In that case, make the rest of the day after work easier for yourself: buy ready meals, postpone the dishes, reschedule training for another day, do not communicate with toxic relatives (what a pity you don’t not be able to completely get rid of it, like on Monday) – all this will help you not to burn out by Friday.

Five More Ways to Make Monday Easier
- Plan something fun for Monday. You don’t need to organize a big event like going to the theater – sometimes it’s enough to buy your favorite cake for breakfast.
- Go less often on social networks – too many people cry on Monday how the first day of work of the week is imposed on them.
- Remind yourself of upcoming pleasant events. For example, in just four days, Friday will come and Monday will end tomorrow.
- Remind yourself that you love your job. If all of a sudden she doesn’t cause any enthusiasm, just think that living on unemployment benefits would be even sadder.
- Live on time. Routine makes life easier, so plan your day: decide when and what you will do. And do not forget to set as much time as possible for each task – the item “I will clean the apartment”, for which only one hour is allocated, will only plunge you into discouragement trying to bring it to life .
