How difficult are Mondays for you?

Huh? Monday is just an arbitrary human construct. So is the concept of weekends. And a "Sabbath day". I've never paid attention to any of it. If shit needs to get done, I'm available. But if I want to take 3 days to go skiing mid week, I will clear my calendar and just go. I've been in a place where I can do that for 10 years in private equity and another 10 years running my own consulting firm. It suits me. I'm not a calendar and clock guy.

This past weekend I was walking around my yard enjoying the fall air and colors while on the phone with a west coast client for 1.5 hours on Saturday. And 1.5 hours again on Sunday. They called, I picked up. They are in crisis. And I consider them friends. I enjoyed the puzzle they presented me with.

3 weeks going 24X7? I've done that. But I've also disappeared for a couple of weeks afterwards. No apologies and no exceptions. That's the deal. You don't wanna work with me? Vaya con Dios y buena suerte amigo.

Depends on what I have to look forward to honestly


Recently I’ve been swamped with work
But it’s also work I find interesting so I don’t mind rolling up my sleeve on Monday


Still nothing beats a well earned vacation

Mondays can feel challenging because they mark the shift from rest to routine, often bringing a heavier mental load.

The difficulty varies depending on your schedule, mindset, and how you set up your week.

Planning small wins, prioritizing tasks, and carving out moments for yourself can make the transition smoother and less stressful.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@thegreenyogi not difficult at all when we remind ourselves "if I don't go to work, nothing else is bringing in money to shop, eat, pay bills, save, survive" - followed by stretching and an upbeat smile and hand warming like Miyagi 🤤😁😊🤭

[msc545]

My days are not my favorite days. In my profession bad things tend to happen off of the weekends and I am not always on call. But I certainly come back on Monday morning and find out what has happened and feel like just going back to bed. Obviously I don't do that. But I feel I could often.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@msc545 they're all the same to me, is a healthier , upbeat coping attitude 😁👀

[sage2021]

It's just another manic Monday.🫣 Evan though I no longer work, I still have to do paperwork i. e. paying people and my bills. I used to be a secretary for 30 years and doing paperwork was a piece of cake. But now it's pure drudgery.

[msmissydc]

Its crazy my Monday is my Sunday and my Sunday is my Monday.
My deadline is allways Monday morning, so I have to have it done Sunday evening. Monday is bassically nothing to do and Tuesday is the new start for the next week.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

My Monday & Tuesday tasks are usually prepared before the prior weekend in order for immediate & easy execution of those tasks.

It's my staff members who are usually the ones scrambling after I give them my to-do lists.

[Nikki1989]

My work week starts on Sunday, so Mondays are just another day for me. Sundays are especially hard because I am usually the only one in the office.

[DryGermanGuy]

You have Fridays off then, I hope?

[bunnyboo24]

I love Monday. Thats when it all starts again. You are productive. Things are happening.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@bunnyboo24 I have the same honest upbeat attitude "you're either a morning/working person, or you are not" is my mindset about work - be it work day, night, or none

[itsannalee]

No different, it’s just annoying because a lot of restaurants close in the Monday here.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@itsannalee some fast food places are closed Mondays

[PeachyPie93]

Difficult lol
When I was in High school I skipped Mondays most of the time hahaha

[mysteriousNicholas]

@PeachyPie93 naughty girl lol 😆 hard to hold down a job lady unless you're lucky to work casual, part time or have a kind work ) or be your own boss

[Simslover92]

Extremely difficult. It's perhaps the slowest day of the week.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Simslover92 slow to finish or why complain if workload light lol 😂

[Flower7]

Monday is just another day for me because I usually work on the weekends.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Flower7 hard to make a living only two days a week or nah or you have a partner

[Flower7]

@mysteriousNicholas I work 5 days a week, but those days usually include Saturdays and Sundays.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@Flower7 damn lady, you keeping the world spinning 🌎🌍 good for you lady. I mean after all, once a person has partied and enjoyed their 20s and early 30s nowadays, then it's time to knuckle down and work had from mid 30s on - a workaholic until the days of pension bliss

[Flower7]

@mysteriousNicholas I’m not a workaholic. I just have a regular job of about 40 hours a week. It’s just that some businesses are open 7 days a week and not every job is only Monday through Friday. Often, my two days off are on weekdays.

Do you work?

[MikeTheBartender]

Market opens at 930am and I make money,. Mondays can be good. If market is down it can be bad.

[mysteriousNicholas]

@MikeTheBartender you've come a long way from the fictional Cocktail movie from 1988 wink wink 🏙️🌆 🍺🍻 📈📈📈 stocks are now your middle name

[mysteriousNicholas]

@MikeTheBartender wonder how much higher DJ can go up to 50,000 or any Crash between now, Christmas, 2026 - hell, is it feeling like 2019 "the calm before the stock storm" all over again? Shrug

[MikeTheBartender]

@mysteriousNicholas People bring this up, the market is an all-time high, but so is coffee, so is real estate, you wouldn't go to a restaurant and go hey it's more expensive than it's ever been. We should come back in a few months, right?

[AgentG111]

As the saying goes manic Monday. Any day can be a Monday depending on when you start your work week. They are always challenge, are things to good or are things going to get better.

[BCRanger10]

Once I get through the first hour at work, it's smooth sailing the rest of the week.

[abc3643]

Every day is difficult for me because I am married.

[Xawyx-2]

They used to be more difficult, but I got used to them... though, I still don't like Mondays.

[Shiprex]

2nd toughest day of the week , Tuesday is worse

[jamesgoldman]

Love them

First gold fix of the week and finding am I effectively up on the weekend or down

[mysteriousNicholas]

@jamesgoldman that first cup of coffee just buzzes you different on Mondays, doesn't if ☕

[MisterPandemonium]

Not difficult.

Sunday naps help a lot.

[AngryCarl2]

Since I retired I find Monday is a good time for getting things done.

[FortesFortunaAdiuvat]

not really. but like Friday evenings more than anyrhing :)

[Dreamclouds]

Well... I already think of Fridays I think that says it all

[Californiagirl5]

Long after the weekend, especially this past weekend. Fun days.

[NervousIndividual]

I like studying and classes. Monday's are nice for me.

[katiesmuff]

No worse than any other day!

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Monday is my favorite day

[On_cloud_wine]

Monday is my Friday. I get to chill

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Mondays are my Saturday, I’m very happy lol

[exitseven]

Not bad. It is Tuesday that is tough.

[Flower7]

Why Tuesday?

[exitseven]

@Flower7 You always think that Monday is going to be a horror show but it usually is not. It is Tuesday that can be sneaky and its still a long way to Friday.

[molly1997xxx]

they are busier then most days but fine

[ItsAshh2009]

I’m not a fan, but they’re ok usually

[Cidknee]

Not too. It's really all in the mind.

[Ironco]

No different than any other day.

[queenofcardio]

Very. I hate it

[RedInnocent69]

Worked from home today. It wasn’t so bad

[In_Trance]

No more or less difficult than any other day

[WhitneySnow]

Annoying lol
