Dreading Monday blues? Here are 7 tips to make your Monday productive at work

Start with a good session of exercise: Health experts recommend that the easiest way to recharge yourself is to start your week with a workout. A good session of exercise can help keep bad mood at bay. 

The power of meditation: Often working on a Monday can be overwhelming if you have strict deadlines to meet. This is where meditation can help relax your mind and keep you stress free. 

Write your thoughts: If you are anxious about work-related issues, try writing down your thoughts on a diary or a paper. This will help you have a clarity of mind and help you decide the next course of action.

 Fun chat with co-workers: Talking to people, by far, is one of the best ways to unload worries from your mind. That said, nothing can be better than having fun conversations with colleagues which can help make your Monday easy and interesting. 

Do not overschedule tasks: Try not to schedule tasks more than what you can physically and mentally do on a Monday. Burdening yourself with an over-packed schedule may result in a decline in productivity. 

Engage in a fun activity: One of the simplest ways to keep Monday blues at bay is to engage in a fun activity at work. For instance, playing an in-house sport or catching up with a close colleague can relax your mind and let you focus more on assignments.

Give yourself a reward! Indulge in rewarding yourself on a Monday. Order your favourite dessert or make yourself a breakfast of your choice, rewarding yourself with something you love will indeed keep you in a good mood.
