By Next Week: Stop Hating Monday
从下周开始:不要憎恨星期一这天

Ask anyone, and you’ll get a pretty universal consensus: Monday is the worst day of the week. The weekend’s gone, and it’ll be another long five days before another comes around. And so, most working hours are spent complaining about how awful the day is. (Sound familiar?)
你问任何人都会有这样一个相当普遍的共识:星期一是一周中最郁闷的一天。周末过完了,即将开始另一个漫长的5天工作日,另一个周末还远着呢。因此,大部分工作时间都在抱怨这一天有多么讨厌。(听起来很熟悉吧?)

The thing is, hating Monday doesn’t actually do anything to make it better. The way I see it, Monday offers huge opportunities—if you approach it the right way. Regain control over your Monday with these three steps over the next week.
憎恨星期一实际上并不能把任何事情都做得更好。在我看来,如果你用对方法,周一会给你提供很大的机会。下周用这三个步骤,重新调整你的周一状态。

1. Create a Clear Plan for the Week
做一个明确的本周计划

This fresh start to the week is the perfect opportunity to create a road map for what you want to accomplish over the next five days. So, take some time Monday morning to identify your key priorities and block off the time you’ll spend on each one on your calendar. (This step is essential to help you leave work on time and feel good about the work you’ve accomplished!)
为你想要在接下来的五天内完成的工作创造一个完美的机会开个好头。因此,周一早上找时间确定一下你的主要重点并锁定日历上每天的时间计划。(这一步至关重要,有助于你按时完成工作,也会对已完成的工作感觉很美好!)

2. Visualize Friday
幻想星期五

Once you have your plan for the week, think about how you’ll feel when you leave work on Friday with these key priorities completed. (Hint: It should get you excited to get going on the uber-productive week you’re about to have!)
你若有本周计划,周五下班时候你完成了本周计划的工作重点,想想那种美好的感觉。(提示:这会让你兴奋起来,开动起来迎来未来超级高效的一周!)

3. Put Something You Look Forward to on Your Monday Calendar
把你的期望写在星期一的日历上

Maybe you bring (or buy) a splurge of a lunch. Or maybe you set aside a new outfit to wear. Perhaps you bring fresh flowers to your desk to make the day a little more cheerful. One thing’s for sure: You’ll dread Monday less if you put something on the calendar that you’ll look forward to!
也许你带了或买了一顿午餐大餐;也许你挑了一套新衣服穿在身上;也许你带了鲜花摆在你的桌子上让这一天有个好心情。有一件事是可以肯定的:如果你把你的期待放在日历上,你会不那么惧怕周一的到来。
