How do you kick off your Mondays to start the week?

Do you do anything special or just treat it like every other day?

As I work remotely with a flexible schedule and work on a startup in my free time, Sundays are not much different from other days. Feed the cats, then exercise, meditation, morning tea, procrastionation reading news and email, breakfast, coffee, then work. If I manage to have my 25h of main work during the weekdays, I would devote more time to my startup, but going out for a walk with my wife can happen on any day. I'm trying not to get too tired on weekdays so that I don't have to rest on weekends.

Hi @richardfliu. Great Mondays normally start on Sundays by taking a quick view of my calendar to plan my next week. Mondays, I try to wake up early before everyone else, get some exercise, and meditation. That said, this is my goal. I often find my self missing one or more of those three goals, which results in procrastination (:/) Hard truth:)
Richard Fang
@eivindhaa That's a really cool schedule! How long do you usually meditate for?
Eivind Håverstad
@richardfliu Thanks! I tend to meditate for 10 minutes a day. More than 10 minutes, I find it hard to retain the schedule over a longer period. What about your Mondays?
Richard Fang
@eivindhaa Haha I usually just write up a trello board of my to dos for that week 😊 Don't have as vigorous of a schedule like everyone else has !
I open 7/8 new tab with my favorite design news website and take my coffee while learning and staying update :)

This is a weirdly topical question for our launch today. We created a tool to help make sure you get your morning right (Autopilot). It's particularly important on Mondays since in the same way that the morning sets the tone for the day, the monday can set the tone for the week. I resonate with people who said it starts on Sunday though. I like to do a goal setting and general week envisioning. But also - my "mondays" often fall on thursdays, fridays, and tuesdays, because I use non-traditional 4 day long weeks, which I have found are better for productivity.
Richard Fang
@the_esc That's a pretty cool non-traditional way of doing things. Good luck with the launch also, I gave it an upvote :)!

Every friday, i have a list of phone calls ready to call on Monday and do that vigorously :) Whom to call? What to say? what problems do we solve and why we should be given a chance! Helps me understand customer pain points and their lingo. Find more customer segments and also keep refining my pitch each time
Eivind Håverstad
@nilova_pande Hi Nilova. Really interesting method! Do you schedule customer interviews for this type of calls?
Nilova
@eivindhaa Yes Eivind, I use LinkedIn and Calendly for setting up these calls. Of course there are many other ways and tools!

I start week on Sunday, so Monday becomes just a usual day. On Sundays, while everyone else are resting, you can put things in order and nobody bothers you. And Monday (which anyway is start day of working week) is less stressful.
Richard Fang
@dribas That's a cool mindset!

My Monday day is similar to everyday. I am trying to train myself with daily habits. Sometimes, I takes off a little bit.
