Ego Killer MOTIVATION with Johann Francis

Thanks God it's Monday is how each week begins on EKM but why? It's a reference to the start of the week that move of us is taught is filled with sadness and disarray... yes, TAUGHT - as in baked into society as a we it typifies the M through F work week... being instead the day we get come out swinging. Staying motivated on Monday has to be more than just a saying but really a movement.

The Monday blues refer to the common experience of feeling a sense of lethargy, stress, or reluctance at the beginning of the workweek, typically on Mondays. This phenomenon is often attributed to various factors:

•     Transition Stress:

        Employees transitioning from the freedom of the weekend to the structured routine of the workweek can experience stress and a sense of restriction.

•     Unfinished Tasks:

        The accumulation of tasks over the weekend or unresolved issues from the previous week can contribute to a sense of overwhelm on Monday mornings.

•     Social Comparison:

        Social comparison plays a role, with individuals comparing their current situation to potentially more relaxed or enjoyable weekend activities of others.

•     Perception of a Long Week Ahead:

  The perception of a full workweek ahead can create a mental barrier, making Monday mornings seem daunting.

The perception of a long week on Mondays is influenced by a combination of psychological and cultural factors. Let's delve into the details:

1. Psychological Factors:

    Weekend Mindset: Over the weekend, individuals often experience a shift in mindset, engaging in leisure activities, relaxation, and a break from work-related stressors. The abrupt transition from this more laid-back state to the structured workweek on Monday can create a sense of psychological distance.

    Temporal Discounting: Psychologically, people tend to discount future events, making Monday feel more distant and the week ahead seemingly longer than it actually is. This perception is influenced by the tendency to prioritize immediate experiences over future obligations.

2. Cultural Factors:

    Traditional Workweek Structure: In many cultures, the workweek conventionally starts on Monday and ends on Friday. This structure has become deeply ingrained, contributing to the perception that Monday marks the beginning of a substantial time commitment to work-related responsibilities.

    Social and Media Narratives: Cultural narratives and societal norms often portray Monday as the start of the "grind" or the "daily grind." Media, including movies, TV shows, and social discourse, frequently emphasize the challenges of Mondays, reinforcing the notion of a lengthy workweek ahead.
