8 Effective Ways To Deal With The Monday Blues
Ever had a case of the Mondays? Yup, everyone’s been there. Whether you’re lying on your bed on a Sunday night dreading waking up the next morning or counting down the hours of sleep you’re not going to have, no one escapes the Monday blues. Fret not, here are 8 of Durian Daily’s most effective ways to fend off the dreadful Monday blues:
Leave your job. The Monday blues comes about from a reluctance of having to go in to work after an all-too-short weekend. Simple solution! Give your boss a call and tell them they’re fired! Now you can sleep in on Mondays.
Adjust your calendar by going to your smartphone’s settings and set the date by a day backwards. When you wake up on what was supposedly a Monday morning, hey presto, it’s still the weekend! Monday blues averted, enjoy the Sunday ahead.
Kill yourself. Nobody told you life was going to be a walk in the park. It was all fun and games growing up but the Monday to Friday office grind can be a tad overwhelming for some. Not to worry, you’re not alone. Just kill yourself on a Sunday night! This way, you won’t have to be around to experience the Monday blues like the rest of your pathetic colleagues.
Call your grandfather and ask him what retirement life is like. His never-ending list of complaints and grievances will be sure to jolt you into work-mode!
Plot some excitement by stealing your colleague’s boxed lunch. We all have that one co-worker who brings in an obnoxiously healthy lunch box to work while the rest of us heads down to the nearest fast food chain. Take it out of the refrigerator at 11am and eat it beforehand! Nothing helps to get you through the day like a good old bit of mischief!
Ask your boss out to drinks on Sunday night! Since nobody wants to go in to work on a Monday with a hangover, as long as you get enough shots of vodka and jagerbombs into him, he’ll be sure to give you the Monday off too! Win-win situation!
Unemployment line: Take the neighbourhood bus down to the central job agency and have a look at the unemployment line. You’re lucky to be employed! Now get back to the office grind! Motivation to beat the Monday blues easily acquired!
Dress to impress. Nothing gives you more of an edge to take that depressing Monday head-on than being able to show off that new Zalora dress you bought or that new pair of expensive alligator shoes. Never underestimate the motivational benefits of superficiality!
