7 things to do before starting your work week

1. Make a list of actions

Have a clear plan for what you need to do in a week. When he is in front of your eyes, it will be more difficult to deal with extraneous matters.

2. View your calendar

Check to see if you're missing out on something important, such as an appointment you forgot about, or a visit to the doctor for which you need to move the meeting a couple of hours. Be sure to complete this calendar at the end of each week.

Do not forget to look at the calendar of the last week: perhaps you did not have time for something before the weekend and it is worth moving it to the coming week.

3. Take on the hardest tasks first

As soon as you do the most difficult thing, it becomes easier: an unpleasant task will not hang over you and only those things that can be done with pleasure will remain.

4. Get some rest

If you cannot take a vacation or at least a couple of days off after an emergency, try to be outdoors more often, go to bed earlier and get up earlier. Working without respite is not a good idea.

5. Collect everything you need

Prepare all the necessary documents (reports, presentations, business trip tickets) in advance so as not to do it in a hurry on Monday morning.

6. Understand your email

Do this on a Friday night or weekend. Just check if you have forgotten about any important emails, if they got into spam. If some of them require an urgent response, do not delay. In general, make sure that on Monday you start working on new tasks, and not rake up what is left from last week.

7. Ask yourself if you are on the way

Take a few minutes to consider if you like what you are doing right now. Will this lead you to success? If the answer is no, it makes sense to wonder if you are in the right place at all.
