I really know this same Monday feeling. I’m ready for anything on Monday morning but often out of gas by Tuesday afternoon. I’m just now learning to be sensitive to this rhythm.
It doesn’t always work with my schedule or the demands of the job, but most weeks I am able to build in some buffers following long, focused work periods.
Example: Monday, I’ll start early, work long (often into the next morning), break only for meals or the bathroom, and accomplish much across multiple projects. Then, on Tuesday morning, I’ll sip my coffee slowly, exercise, read leisurely, and eventually take care of administrative tasks like processing email or writing up project updates. When Wednesday comes around, I’m ready to work long and deep again.
I work best when I can take advantage of my most energized days and give myself space to recover following those days.
