Mondays Matter: 4 Tips to Help You Set the Tempo Strong Every Week

Monday mornings are important – it’s the start of another new week and a fresh start for yourself and your business. Every Monday, you have the opportunity to grow your income, build relationships with your clients and improve as an entrepreneur.

Sometimes we fail to see Monday as an opportunity to become the best versions of ourselves. Admittedly, the beginning of the week isn’t always the easiest thing to look forward to. But, with the right preparation, you can attack the new week with ease. Set the tempo strong and watch your productivity soar by following the short guide below:

1. Plan ahead

Use the end of the week to set up the next. Stay on top of your game by scheduling new appointments for the week ahead. Having your calendar filled with new, potential clients will give you some peace of mind as you enter the weekend.

2. Get organized

Make sure you’re fully prepared for Monday before enjoying some time with friends and family over the weekend. Have your calendar and list of prospects ready to roll. Write down your schedule for Monday and be sure to organize your workspace. Surely, Monday will be less intimidating when you know exactly what needs to be done – and where everything is!

3. Rest up

Never underestimate the importance of a great night’s rest. Expect your Monday productivity to increase as you make sleep a higher priority on Sunday. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to tackle the grind when the sun rises on Monday.

4. Manage your time wisely

With only 24 hours in the day, we can all get better at time management. Remember that the greatest minds in business have the same amount of time as you each day. Enter every day with a list of priorities and stick to it. Set aside a limited amount of time to clear your inbox and return any missed calls. Structure your schedule with time limits to help yourself stay on task. It’s always better to complete one task entirely than to jump around your agenda without a plan.

With the proper mindset and preparation, Monday will begin to feel like any other day of the week. Stop wasting your time settling in and get after your list of priorities right away. If you follow the steps above, you can expect to see yourself exceeding everyone’s expectations – even your own!
