It has been my habit to take Monday and Tuesday off. Others have two days in a row off, why not me? That means I work every Saturday. Think about this, if the church has a “workday” it falls on Saturday. So I’m already working and can be present. Vacations go from Wednesday through Sunday bookended with my normal days off

Mondays are always foggy for me. A couple extra cups of coffee and mindless activity is all I’m good for usually in the first part of the day. The second part of the day is when i start to think about the upcoming week.

If possible, I try to make Monday a day of mindless, non-intense activities like errands, catching up on email at a coffeeshop, reading, etc.

I also learned years ago that making a general list for the coming week on a Sunday night/Monday morning helps me even if I don’t have my exact schedule set. As I run those Monday errands, I can pick up anything I might need (stamps/cards/supplies/snacks). It gives me a sense of a little head start, but also keeps me active rather than ruminating over Sunday sitting alone in the office.
