Make your Monday not as crappy

It's important to start your week right. And that means Sunday night.

Why? Because one of the reasons Mondays suck is that you're getting your bearings for the week. In my experience, if you spend just a few minutes getting things ready for Monday, you'll feel better and be able to knock things out... even better, get your first-thing emails out the night before.

Of course, things always come up, but you'll be much more prepared with 15-20 minutes of pre-game warmup.

And, if you can't bear to get yourself motivated for 15 minutes with your laptop, notepad, or whatever helps you, think about for 15 minutes how you could attain other forms of gainful employment where you'd get motivated to do so.
