Monday Night Football
A phenomenon in the american Monday! People love football, I get it, its entertaining. It’s competition, a chance to gloat about your winning team or a time to defend your winning teams honor. A time to Bash to competition with numbers stats and the names of infamous players on your team. People have been taking part in the tradition for nearly 40 years. Part of the allure to monday night football is it’s a great way to clear your mind and shake off the first day back from the weekend.
Most people wait until monday when they are walking into work to decide that they are going to get ready for their week. Something that took me a long time to wrap my head around was just this. I was always told by successful people the work week doesn’t start on monday it starts on sunday. Whether you have meetings to plan, phone calls to make, research to do, or presentations to plan, I highly urge you to get your ducks in a row on sunday. As you excel in your sales career and you begin to take on extra responsibilities this part of your week becomes integral. Every Sunday sit down for 15 to 20 minutes and plan out your schedule, like I mentioned in a previous post committing your thoughts to paper removes a giant amount of stress. Start with what is most important to you, if it’s business start with business, if its family start with family. Start with most important and time sensitive tasks into your schedule. Then go to your important tasks that aren’t time sensitive. Lastly put in any task that is neither important nor time sensitive but that you still want to accomplish. Once you are done with that take about 10 to 15 minutes to bullet out little bits for each task so you have an idea of where to begin and end. Now I know it sounds tedious but trust me when you walk into work on monday and know exactly what you need to accomplish without thinking, monday becomes easy. If you do this when monday night football comes around instead of talking about how bad your monday was you can keep your head in the game.
