I don’t know about you, but I tend to have really productive Mondays.
I don’t check social media. I’m clearing tasks. From dawn to dusk I’m feeling good. I get my lifts in. I get my 15,000 steps. Check check check.
But then Tuesdays and Wednesdays tend to be a drag and I never feel good. In fact, I feel sluggish and don’t get much of anything done compared to Monday. Then the shame cycle kicks in and I can’t believe how little I’ve gotten done.
What’s the answer?
My guess is two things.
One, social media isn’t much worth the time. When I abstain, I feel better emotionally and I’m more productive and more energized.
Two, doing too much on one day leaves you “sore” for the next day or two. Probably better to spread the tasks over a few days and get more “workouts” in.
Similar to my riff on load management, maybe spreading the workload over more days instead going so hard on one will lead to greater gains over the course of a year.
Something to chew on. What do YOU think?
