I mentioned it before Installation are only completely surprising to threatening or at least more unpleasant than the other days of the week for those who come to work from the weekend completely clueless.
Unless you are dealing with a working environment in which most employees or even superiors are very happy to be surprised themselves on Mondays.
If you can't avoid or change such a work environment, it's a good idea to be the first person at work on Mondays and try to retain or regain the initiative by lunchtime.
If you manage to do this and if you even like it, it is sometimes even possible that you can "externally determine" these "Monday colleagues" until after Wednesday. By then at the latest, they should have found their own pace again and be able to complete their tasks independently by Friday — and then on Monday the whole thing starts all over again.
Overall, however, it is more productive and also essential for a more pleasant working relationship if everyone gets used to prioritizing and dividing up the respective tasks from the start, within the framework of their own competencies.
If this is only possible in coordination with other people affected, you have to make sure that these prioritizations, classifications or time steps can also be implemented for everyone; otherwise you unnecessarily create yourself overtime or very busy weekends to catch up and catch up.
The alternative to this, namely just “being there” at work or in professional life, I consider to be unattractive, at least for most of us, and also leads to the well-known “Monday blues”. But who wants to fall out of the clouds again and again on Mondays?
In short, if you want pleasant assembly, you have to prioritize tasks and arrange the necessary work steps in a chronological order - please think about buffer times - and prepare Monday on Fridays. And if you do it this way, most of the surprises will be the icing on the cake, which is what makes your own working life really interesting and exciting.
In any case, the montage for oneself loses its bad reputation - and that should be worth the initial effort.
"The 'Monday Blues' describe a set of negative emotions that many people get at the beginning of the workweek if they're not happy at work ... It contains elements of depression, tiredness, hopelessness and a sense that work is unpleasant but unavoidable. "
