Countering the Monday Blues
I have very humungously bad cases of the Monday Blues. Here’s what I’ve come up with, after considerable deliberation:
It’s not so much about Monday, or the start of the week… It’s the grind that we fear, or get frustrated about. And even small things at such a point are great relievers…
Do everything as if Monday was the big day of the week, get up, do your stuff, even schedule as if it was a normal day. But actually begin the day as if it were a half day or something. For example, my Monday in this semester begins at 12 noon. That’s so uber. I can laze around till 10! It’s an amazing feeling.
Try not to accumulate new things to be done on Monday. Like say, washing hair, or shaving, or nail cutting, or whatever. Do it a day before. So you don’t have an additional burden of doing it on an already worse day.
Skip stuff. It’s perfectly ok. You can do it along the week. Even dropping off a small thing that you had planned to do on Monday, but not actually doing it does wonders to my mood.
I guess, we are all inherently lazy.

Some of my friends have a holiday on Monday. WOW!
Then, I guess, they must have the Tuesday Blues!
