00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: listen to podcasts. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to

22
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: for thriving in the new world of work, where location

24
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: and hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's

25
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: tip is to introduce some Monday morning rituals into your

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: life that feel like treats. This is one of the

27
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: best ways to start the week well so you can

28
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: accomplish all the wonderful things that you need to do.

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Monday morning commutes tend to be miserable, so in the

30
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,559
Speaker 1: past one of my favorite bits of advice for people

31
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: was to build in something fun to that Monday morning trip.

32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: Save a favorite funny podcast and listen to it in

33
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: the car on Monday mornings. Read your favorite magazine on

34
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: the train, car pool with your spouse or a friend

35
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, and that way, what might be a

36
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: source of dread could become a source of pleasure. These days,

37
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: many people are still working from home because of the coronavirus,

38
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: but even without a commute, Monday morning can feel vastly

39
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: better if you consciously build in a pleasurable ritual. Most mornings,

40
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: you could save time and money by making your own coffee,

41
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: but Monday walk to your local coffee shop, savor the smells,

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: and start the day with more energy thanks to getting

43
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: some physical activity outside, to say nothing of the caffeine.

44
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: Maybe most days you do a quick video workout where

45
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: you can squeeze it in, but on Monday morning you

46
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: go for a trail run and let the sounds of

47
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: nature help you start the work week with far lower

48
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: stress levels. Maybe you build in a thirty minute before

49
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: breakfast zoom call with your spiritual small group and enjoy

50
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: some fellowship and prayers and good thoughts from people who

51
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: really care about you. Talk about a good way to

52
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: start the work week. A commute is, by its nature,

53
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: a ritual. It's often unpleasant ritual, but it is a ritual, nonetheless,

54
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: something we do day after day until it becomes second nature.

55
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: When we work from home. We need to come up

56
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: with other rituals that restart the work week. So think

57
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: creatively about what might make you feel like you've started

58
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: the work week well. What small ritual would be pleasurable

59
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: and meaningful what would you genuinely look forward to. Most

60
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: people aren't going to devote hours to these things. But

61
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: if you don't have a commute taking up space in

62
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: your life, you do have a little more space to

63
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: play with. Use that time to create a fake commute

64
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: that transports you mentally from one kind of time to another.

65
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: When you consciously build these rituals into your life, you'll

66
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: find that Monday's aren't terrible. They're fun on their own,

67
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: and they set you up for great things to come.

68
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: If you have a Monday morning ritual, I'd love to

69
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,120
