With just two days of rest before starting a 40-hour or more workweek, it’s no surprise that Mondays are so widely dreaded. But are the “Monday blues” getting in the way of work?
LinkedIn found that out of the 2,000 workers they surveyed, 75% experienced the Sunday scaries, or feelings of anxiety and stress about starting another workweek. On top of that, workers are more burned out now than they were in 2021, with 42% feeling burnout compared to 38%, according to research group Future Forum. Many workers likely enter work on Monday tired and anxious for the week ahead, but managed right, doing the bare minimum can actually set a more positive tone for the week ahead.
