"This unsettling and unwanted spoilsport is called the Sunday Scaries. It's the anxiety we feel when the return of school or work is near. The Sunday Scaries makes us hate the workweek's start because our cherished two days off with zero obligations is over. Can we honestly agree that our two days off are enjoyable? There's a whole list (uhh somewhere) of tasks and false promises we've made to ourselves from the week before, dying to get some attention. 😅"
"Bear with me... I suggest the best time to prepare for Monday's impending arrival is after your last meeting and before happy hour on a Friday. The Power of Intentional Planning on Friday Now you might be thinking, how dare she propose this dull task on a Friday?! Trust me when I say I don't suggest this lightly. There's a secret power of intentional planning on Friday that is extraordinary. 💫"
Sunday is the most underappreciated day and often triggers the Sunday Scaries—anxiety felt as the workweek returns. The Sunday Scaries stems from assigning Sunday both rest and productivity, forcing two days off to carry unresolved tasks and false promises from the prior week. A better strategy is to prepare for Monday after the last Friday meeting and before Friday happy hour. Intentional Friday planning allows tying up loose ends, prevents reactive cramming into tight schedules, and increases productivity by avoiding weekend-mode procrastination. Planning on Friday reduces Sunday anxiety and preserves weekend rest while setting the next week up for success.
