Zeb called me on his way home from work yesterday to check in. As we were hanging up I said enthusiastically, ‘Let’s get into Weekend Mode!’

What IS Weekend Mode even?

A relaxed state of mind (and often, body)
A celebratory, seize the moment kind of ethos
Fun over all!
Letting go of what you’ve been holding on to from the week
Loosening up on the routine (Bedtimes, wake up times, meal times)

And while I love the joyful embrace our kids give to the weekends, I also crave the routine of the typical week. When Monday comes around I usually am excited to get back to business, have a little more structure, and move forward on important things in my life and business.

Is there a Monday Mode that’s equally thrilling, that our family could embrace with as much joy?

Monday gets a bad rap! You see all the ‘slams laptop shut until Monday’ memes but nothing of the ‘joyfully welcomes the start of the work week’ ilk. But I’m curious what it would look like to make Monday Mode equally exciting.

Monday Mode could look like:

Mixing up where you get your work done from
Start-to-finish completing a mini project that you’ve been putting off
Having all the ingredients for your favorite lunch prepped so you have the best fuel for your afternoon
Surprising your coworkers or peers with coffee on you
Listening to your favorite hype jams on the drive to the office
Treating your favorite customer to lunch delivery, just because

…and what else? I’d love to hear your ideas on how we could make Monday Mode a thing. Leave me a comment and let’s make this happen.
