WEBVTT - Plan something fun for Sunday night

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the Before Breakfast podcast.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Today's tip is to plan something fun for Sunday night.

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:15.640
<v Speaker 1>I know that it's easy to hate Mondays. Even if

0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>you really like your job, you probably don't love commuting.

0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>You don't like showing up on Monday morning to an

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>inbox with four seven unread messages. It makes sense, but

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the problem is that many of us don't start thinking

0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>about Monday on Monday morning. Instead, we like to get

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a jump on things, So somewhere around mid afternoon on Sunday,

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>we start remembering that Monday is looming on the next

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>spot on our calendars. Suddenly we're out of weekend mode.

0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We're already focused on the next deadline. These Sunday night

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>blues can burn a huge chunk of time. If you

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>start worrying about Monday at three pm Sunday, you go

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to about at eleven pm Sunday, that's eight hours of

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.279
<v Speaker 1>weekend time that you've just lost. I don't know about you,

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.279
<v Speaker 1>but I think weekend time is too precious to throw away.

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Eight hours that's the equivalent of a whole work day

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>or a really good night's sleep. We're not just talking

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>a few minutes. Fortunately, there's a simple cure for the

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night blues. Plan something fun for Sunday night a

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.080
<v Speaker 1>few days before your weekend starts, maybe on Wednesday or Thursday,

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>or whenever you're listening to this. Think about a Sunday

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>night activity that you really enjoy. Maybe it's seeing a

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>movie with your family. Maybe it's taking your spouse to

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that fun new restaurant you keep saying you want to try.

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>If you call before the weekend starts, you'll probably be

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>able to get a reservation. You could invite a few

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 1>families over for a pot like dinner. You could plan

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.320
<v Speaker 1>to go for a walk somewhere beautiful and time your

0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>excursion to take in the sunset. I know Sunday is

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.640
<v Speaker 1>a school and work nights, so you probably don't want

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>to go too crazy. Maybe skip the tequila shots, and

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you probably want to end things on the early side.

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>But here's the object of Sunday night plans. When you've

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>got something wonderful on the calendar for Sunday night, you'll

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:09.280
<v Speaker 1>spend Sunday afternoon looking forward to your fun. You'll be

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>so excited about your friends coming over to make pizza

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>that you won't start thinking about your inbox until after

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>they leave, and by that point it will be time

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>to go to bed. Anyway, just like that, your Sunday

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>night blues take up less than an hour rather than

0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the entire day. So take a few minutes today and

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>think about what fun you could plan for Sunday night.

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.040
