Dreading Work On Monday? Try This.
It’s Sunday evening, the weekend is winding down and you’re beginning to think about the work week ahead. What are your feelings?
Do you find yourself excited and challenged, looking forward to another week of doing something you love?
The most fortunate among us get to feel that way on a regular basis.
Or are you instead feeling something else, perhaps anxiety or even dread?
That’s a special kind of anxiety and stress I call “Sunday Night Syndrome.” All of us experience some form of SNS from time to time. What’s important is how often and how severe it is.

I know that dread, especially when I feel like I could use another day off to rejuvenate.

Its more dreadful when you have to work 6 times a week in a company and Sundays is your only day off !

Excellent post. this is very true, even when i had a job that i absolutely loved…i dreaded going to work on monday’s. now that i work from home, i generally take monday’s off. i work through saturday and part of sunday in the morning, and i check in on monday’s and take a few note’s on what my plan is for work that week on monday, but i don’t actually start writing my work or researching until tuesday…it’s my little treat that helps me stay focused knowing i have a designated “day off” coming up.
