50 Ways To Have A Good Weekday

  1. Wake up before you have to.
  2. Snooze once. Not three times.
  3. Drink water before caffeine.
  4. Make your bed. It takes sixty seconds.
  5. Wear something that fits. Comfort is a crime.
  6. Leave the house five minutes early. Walk slowly.
  7. Look at one person on public transit and wonder what their life is like.
  8. Don’t check email until you’ve had coffee.
  9. Don’t check Slack until 10.
  10. Reply to exactly three messages. The rest can wait.
  11. Eat something that isn’t beige before noon.
  12. Take a two-minute break to stand in silence.
  13. Close a tab you don’t need.
  14. Close five tabs.
  15. Let someone be wrong without correcting them.
  16. Say “let me think about that” instead of “yes” or “no.”
  17. Drink water again. Boring but effective.
  18. Walk to get lunch. Touch grass, metaphorically or literally.
  19. Eat alone. Bring a book. Don’t touch your phone.
  20. Ignore one notification from a group chat.
  21. Do not open Twitter before 3 p.m.
  22. Tell one coworker something kind. Keep it brief.
  23. Finish one task. Just one. Celebrate internally.
  24. Leave a meeting five minutes early. Never arrive late.
  25. Stretch at your desk. Look insane.
  26. Listen to “We Are The Champions”. Feel it. Move on.
  27. Wear headphones even if nothing is playing.
  28. Write down a worry. Throw the paper away.
  29. Don’t answer a call you don’t have energy for.
  30. Buy yourself a small treat. No justification needed.
  31. Walk past a mirror and compliment yourself.
  32. Change your posture. Breathe like you mean it.
  33. Say “I’ll get back to you” instead of overcommitting.
  34. Look out a window. Notice the sky still exists.
  35. Forgive yourself for being slow today.
  36. Take a bathroom break just to stand in silence.
  37. Send one text to someone you actually like.
  38. Ignore the news until after dinner.
  39. Eat dinner without scrolling.
  40. Clean one dish immediately. Feel powerful.
  41. Turn on a lamp. Harsh overhead light is the enemy.
  42. Do not check work email after 7 p.m.
  43. Say no to one plan you don’t want to attend.
  44. Read five pages of a real book.
  45. Write down one thing you did right today.
  46. Stretch again. Your back will thank you in ten years.
  47. Go to bed earlier than necessary.
  48. Leave your phone in another room.
  49. Forgive yourself for not doing more.
  50. Remember: you survived. That’s the whole assignment.
