What is it about Monday?

What is it about Monday?

We seem to have this thing about starting new routines on a Monday.

In the same way, we make New Year's resolutions. Or we set new goals on our birthdays.

We choose days that seem to be magical start dates.

What is that about??

When we do that we are just setting ourselves up for failure.?

Monday comes and goes and you didn't start, so you put it off until next Monday. And then the weather is bad, or you don't feel great, so you put it off until the following Monday. And then that Monday you are traveling for work, so you can't start that day - and so it goes and so it goes.

MONDAY IS THE LAST REFUGE OF THE PROCRASTINATOR!

Once you have decided to start something, start! Start today, or tomorrow at the latest.

Break this habit of only starting on a Monday. Just start.

And when you fall off the wagon, and you will, start again straight away.
