Speaker 1: to have your dad be like, why you're so down?
Speaker 1: So you told him you hate your job, and he said, well,
Speaker 1: you better talk yourself out of it. And then you thought, hmm,
Speaker 1: I love to talk. I could host a podcast. And
Speaker 1: then you went to Speaker from my Heart and started
Speaker 1: a podcast and got good at it, then monetized it,
Speaker 1: then quit your boring job and told your dad thanks
Speaker 1: for the advice. And he was like, well, that's not
Speaker 1: what I meant, and I don't understand what a podcast is.
Speaker 1: But you seem happy, So that's great, kiddo. You ever
Speaker 1: do that? Well, you could at speaker dot com. That's
Speaker 1: spr e A k E R. Ask your dad, you
Speaker 1: actually don't. Good morning. This is Laura. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: New in our Office, the podcast where we share strategies
Speaker 1: for thriving in the new world of work, where location
Speaker 1: and hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's
Speaker 1: tip is to craft a Monday morning reflection. Having a
Speaker 1: few practices and phrases that help you start the week
Speaker 1: can energize you to accomplish all sorts of great things.
Speaker 1: For the past five years, I've had a Monday morning
Speaker 1: ritual of sorts. I tracked my time on weekly spreadsheets
Speaker 1: and I have done this since April of two thousand
Speaker 1: fift YEP, I know how I have spent every half
Speaker 1: hour for the past five years. Don't worry, I won't
Speaker 1: bore you with the details. Here. My time log week
Speaker 1: starts Monday at five am. That means that when I
Speaker 1: wake up on Monday morning, I fill in the last
Speaker 1: few details from Sunday, save the spreadsheet, archive it, and
Speaker 1: open a new one. This gives me a chance to
Speaker 1: reflect on the week that has just gone into the
Speaker 1: books and the blank week to come. It's just a
Speaker 1: little moment, but I can do a quick review and
Speaker 1: see what choices I made with my time, and I
Speaker 1: can see a visual representation of the reality that the
Speaker 1: next week is completely open. It will be filled with something.
Speaker 1: Eventually I will be on the other side of the
Speaker 1: next sixty eight hours, but what it is filled with
Speaker 1: is at least partially up to me. It's a memento mori,
Speaker 1: an inspirational moment all rolled into one. You may not
Speaker 1: be into time tracking, but I do think that Monday
Speaker 1: morning presents a great opportunity for reflecting on time that
Speaker 1: has passed and the time that is about to unfold.
Speaker 1: There are lots of ways you can do this. One
Speaker 1: is to look over the past week's calendar. How did
Speaker 1: you feel about the week? Yes, the time is gone,
Speaker 1: but we can always learn things, and doing so while
Speaker 1: the lessons are fresh is more helpful than when they're
Speaker 1: hard to remember. Then spend a minute looking at your
Speaker 1: goals those for the year, your life, your week, whatever.
Speaker 1: Keep these posted somewhere that you will see on Monday morning.
Speaker 1: When you know where you're going, it's easier to direct
Speaker 1: yourself there. You might also come up with a few
Speaker 1: phrases that put you in a productive mindset. It can
Speaker 1: be as simple as this is going to be a
Speaker 1: great day, or I have everything I need. Maybe you
Speaker 1: remind yourself that you are open to possibility, or that
Speaker 1: you aim to make people smile. Think about what resonates
Speaker 1: with you, then take a minute to write it at
Speaker 1: the top of your planner or say it to yourself
Speaker 1: in the mirror. In any case, it is so easy
Speaker 1: to start the week in a negative mindset. People often
Speaker 1: don't sleep enough on Sunday nights, and we hit Monday
Speaker 1: unsure of what's waiting for us. When everyone else is
Speaker 1: in a bad mood, it can be easy to absorb
Speaker 1: that even while working for home. But you don't have
Speaker 1: to play along. You can keep yourself focused on the
Speaker 1: bigger picture and take control of your mindset by crafting
Speaker 1: a Monday morning reflection. Over time, these habits will build
Speaker 1: grooves into our minds until they become natural. They take root,
Speaker 1: until every Monday is not something to be endured, but
Speaker 1: an important moment, the start I hope of something great
Speaker 1: in the meantime. This is Laura, thanks for listening, and
