One of the silver-linings of the whole COVID thing is that we finally got to WFH. When the pressure to return to the office started, I was among the first to volunteer to come in 3 days a week and chose Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. This arrangement has remained and I've gotta say, WFH on Mondays really takes the edge off. I feel productive (sort of), yet the week feels less jarring when kicking it off from my own house.

Same with the Friday wind-down. Great to be at home on the last day of the week with no commute so you can get an early entry to the weekend.
Look into the mirror and slap yourself, murmurring "I want this, I WANT this". Then play a soft soulful version of we're not gonna take it and then proceed to work whilst taking it
Bigger coffee and/or opt for the nicer lunch during break. Every bit of pick me up helps xD
Solid advice! I've never regretted more coffee or a good lunch. Maybe a walk outside if the weather's nice.
Oh yes, fresh air is a must:)
I remind myself there are only 5 days until the weekend

Keep busy, not that it's a choice mostly. But I don't need to make it "bearable". It's a day like any other.
Get a job you like.
People get into a trap where they think that all jobs are the same.
I used to think I hated working, and then lucked into a job that actually used my skills and talents.
A job that makes person A happy might be completely wrong for someone else.
I am honestly not sure I can enjoy anything I have to wake up at a set time to go in for 8+ hours at least 5 days a week. every day, every week, every month, every year.
I was off work after an accident. Someone suggest this book to me. "Discover What You Are Best At." Linda Gail. It's a series of self tests that take about half a day to finish, with a list of all the jobs those skills might suit you for.
For example, hairdressers and paramedics both need good social skills and good dexterity. Totally different jobs with similar skill sets.
it was easier when sundays had like nothing open and transit not running much. made monday almost a relief.
