Mondays aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, so in lieu of rejecting the day, you can actually make it the most productive day of the week. That’s what many successful?entrepreneurs ?do, anyway—and it seems to be working like a charm. Entrepreneurs often have to innovate new ways to be productive each day, especially when they’re first starting out.
Prioritize Like A Champ
Without the proper planning and prioritizing, productivity goes out the window. The secret to a productive Monday is what you do on Friday. Spend at last an hour on Friday looking at the upcoming week and making sure that all of your top priorities are on the calendar.
Don’t get blindsided by Monday. Define your priorities and let that help you plan.
Plan Ahead.?
If you want to make Monday a little more productive, you have to figure out how to set goals and expectations for your Thursdays and Fridays, because by running a business, you have to think about what you hope to accomplish each day of the week, which will dictate how you lay out your plans.
Don’t schedule frivolous meetings.?
Monday morning is prime-time. If you find that your team members want to rehash old information or are grasping for random ideas, definitely don’t schedule those meetings for Monday. Meetings can often make people feel more productive, but the truth is, most of them are a complete waste of time.

Give yourself something to look forward to.?
Schedule your favourite and most forward-looking calls and meetings on Monday to set the tone for the week. Positivity goes a long way in terms of motivating yourself. When we’re more motivated, we’re far more productive.
Take care of your body.?
There are scientific ways to?better your brain ?and improve its function, which will ultimately make you much more productive. When you’re working long hours, it’s easy to grab a doughnut and coffee and call that your breakfast. Refrain!
Nutrition has a direct impact on our brain function. Our focus is much sharper when our glucose levels are steady. Preplan your meals for the day and choose healthy options. Then set up a schedule and stick to it. Set an alarm if you have to. When you have smaller and more frequent meals, your glucose levels stay in balance.
