i am soo sorry, but the weekend does nothing for me. that 1 day and a half is not enough for me to feel bright and refreshed. i feel down, blue, depressed and not looking forward to the week coming up ahead that is going to make me just as tired as i was last week. i think the work and school week (what i called institution days and labor camps days) so be cut down to 4 days a week instead of 5-6. there are some people who want to go non stop. okay, let them. the majority of us need more rest and are sleep deprived. i am so sleepy when the weekend comes. then, the weekend comes and there i things that i have to do that i didn't do all week. what remaining time i have left, people want to talk on the phone, hang out, get together. i can't it's all too much for me. i just want to go to sleep with the remaining hours of the weekend i have left. then, bamb! it's gone. over in a flash. it dumb monday again and a long week full of tiring bull. i hate mondays.

We all get into habits and if we are not aware pretty soon we are like a mouse on a wheel. One way to stop is to start making lists. List what you do, then what you need to do. Give each on that list a number priority, number one being most important. If you are like most of us, there are at least a few things done m
by habit, not by need. Next review your attitude toward things in your life. Most of our lives are ruled by our point of view and if we can step back many times we can change that point of view. Maybe your goals need to be revisited. Goals you had as little as last week may not be so important as they were when you made them, so the ones made a year ago may make even less sense. All of this takes discipline and resolve, but it sound like you are ready to take charge of your life as much as any of us can. Blessings

you make so much sense. i do have a tendency to stretch myself out to thin. i also have a tendency to pile on more stuff in my life then what i need. i often put to much pressure on myself, because i think others are putting it on me. so, i really get stressed. i need to pace myself. you are right. i am trying to take control of my life.

I always get to look a great start on Mondays because it is the the first day of the weekend and I believe that if the start is good then the end will be fine. So I just start all my day with prayers o give me the power and the energy to get the days at my best.

I know exactly how you feel. At the warehouse I work at we had a couple months where we worked most Saturdays on top of our regular work week. That left only Sunday to relax & do anything else. Frankly I fell so far behind that even now when things have slowed down I'm still stuck playing catch up at home.

Oh do I know where you're coming from! I remember when I worked I would do anything to get the weekend AND Monday off. It worked out a few times on various jobs too.
I'm retired now but I can tell you on my last job, I worked 3 days a week which were 12 hour days. I actually loved it because I had 4 days off. I'll take that anytime. I would only have to work a Sunday every 3 weeks.
You're so right..a day and a half is nothing. I think they DO need to change things to a 4 day week but they're so money hungry, they won't.

Well, despite myself, and I say unfortunately! I'm still unemployed, I still have to say that I feel equally the passage of the days of the week. Though, and I can say with great sincerity, the days are all the same to me, I must admit that every weekend I find it very boring. The usual problem of not knowing what to do on Sunday with all the shops closed, the usual afternoon outings with my mother and brother. Beginning to be tired of spending my whole life in this way! I would like to make some changes, obviously in positive!

mondays do suck i agree. they suck for everybody though, so if you think about that you can make it a good day for you. its the best day to get a head start from everybody, since everybody is in that mindset. just make the best out of it!

First of create a feeling inside yourself that this is the best day for ever. This feeling inside you can have the ability to go fine. Control your mind and go for the best

I can understand your hatred of Mondays. My hubby is the same, even though he has had an extra day's holiday (Bank Holiday Monday) he can't fully relax really as he's back at work tomorrow. In fact, he turned back on Friday night when we were on the motorway to pick Mum up some miles away, in order to finish off a job when someone rang him on his mobile (he had to stop on the hard shoulder in order to take the call). To say I was angry was an understatement as he can't say no when it comes to work.

I guess it just depends on your outlook on life. I know I feel the same way as you do. There is just something about Mondays that depresses me. Also thinking abut the long, boring week ahead of me depresses me as well.
