Just starting the work week from a Sunday 🤣🤣🤣
Also, have you heard about making Wednesday a non-working day?
This method helps you stay active all week since you don’t have to wait for the weekend to chill

Launching soon!
How do I turn a slow Monday into a productive day? By spending the weekend living my best life watching shows, eating pizzas, and pretending it’s the last weekend.
I’ve realised Mondays are just the way of saying, 'Time to pay for your fun!'

A quick meeting or call can help focus my mind.

Try setting specific goals for the day and breaking them down into manageable tasks. My task today is to launch Cooraft!

Here are some tips. First, set clear and achievable goals for the day. This gives you a direction. Second, break large tasks into smaller, manageable parts. It makes them less intimidating. Third, take short breaks regularly to keep your energy up. Also, try to eliminate distractions like turning off non - essential notifications. You can start with the most important task to build momentum. And don't forget to stay positive and motivated throughout the day.
I enjoy my week holidays fully, watching movies only in a week and also going out. Monday may be tiresome but people have different creative ways to tackle and you cannot copy someone to be happy to work that's reality.
You should keep a side-project along with you or a hobby so that you feel that you changed your mind from a different work.
Forget that it is Monday. Start the day writing down ONE thing you want to get done.
Do it again once you're done!
I agree, tackling a fun task first thing Monday totally boosts my motivation and productivity for the day! Another tip: block off an hour midday to handle quick action items or loose ends. Knocking those out gives me momentum to power through the bigger afternoon tasks.
Start with the most exciting or creative task to get into a flow state. Mix in some quick wins to build momentum. Take short active breaks to re-energize. Batch similar tasks together to minimize context switching. Tackle the toughest to-do after lunch when energy is high. End on a fun note to finish strong!
I'd say pick the task you've been dreading the most and just get it out of the way first thing. The rest of the day will feel like a breeze in comparison and you'll have that sense of accomplishment to ride on!
I schedule short sprints of focused work.
I start my day with my Motivation Beast App (launching soon). I swipe a few times and read motivational quotes that gives me a energy boost to start my day. https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

@a_momin999 hello anmol
A quick 10-minute walk helps me reset.
To turn a slow Monday into a productive day, start by tackling your most important task right away.
Getting that out of the way can really kickstart your momentum for the week.
Set clear, small goals for yourself—break your work into manageable tasks and give each one a deadline to keep your focus sharp.
Try time-blocking by setting specific time slots for each task to help prevent procrastination.
And don’t forget to take short breaks! A quick 5–10 minute pause can refresh your mind and help you avoid burnout. Minimize distractions by turning off notifications or using apps designed to help you concentrate, and treat yourself after completing tasks to keep your motivation high.

Starting with a fun task always helps kickstart my productivity! I also try to break down my to-do list into smaller, manageable chunks. Tackling the most important tasks first thing in the morning when I'm feeling fresh helps me gain momentum for the rest of the day. Oh and can't forget about staying hydrated and taking short breaks to recharge. Anyone else have productivity hacks that work well for them on slow Mondays?
Workout, get coffee and do a fun task to start the day. Something that makes you feel accomplished right off the bat.
Starting with something enjoyable can really set a positive tone and boost productivity throughout the day.
