What do you do to combat the “Sunday Scaries?”

I try to spend as much time relaxing, but I also spend 1-2 hours prepping for the week. Everything seems less daunting when I take a minute to observe the battle field.

What about you?

I never experienced the Sunday Scaries until I started working with incompetent people.

Hahahahaha. This certainly plays a part in why I get so frustrated at the start of a new week. “I work with children” is a phrase I frequently utter.

Yep, currently experiencing that feeling now. I try to use Sundays for a mix of unwinding and planning too. Today I spent some time organizing my to-do list and prioritizing tasks, but I also am about to head to a family dinner where I'm going to put work stress out of my mind. Spending time with loved ones really helps to go into Monday feeling refreshed!

I hope that the dinner helped out a lot! Spending time with loved ones is a big deal for me as well.

I often make the mistake of doing almost no prepping for the week ahead Sundays are either my days to relax and veg out. You know binge watching or my days to go out to have brunch and a ride with a friends and I try not to think about Monday until I absolutely have to.

lol. Try not to think about it until the Monday morning alarm goes off. I love it. How does that work out for you? Do you find yourself recharged and ready to handle Mondays, or does not doing anything leave you anxious about the week?
