Most of us will agree that Monday is the worst day of the week (and we’ve got the Sunday night blues to prove it). However, it doesn’t have to be this way all the time. You’ll face weekdays a lot easier if you learn how to love the beginning of the week. Easier said than done? Here are a few tricks to make your Monday—and the rest of week—feel like Saturday.

1. Bring a Weekend Habit Into the Week

You don’t have to save all the fun stuff for the weekend. While a night parties certainly is appropriate for Friday nights, dinner with friends or yoga session with girls in the office can be done after work hours. Doing something on a Monday that allows you for some fun will make you look forward to begin the week instead of hating it.

2. Wake Up Early

Weekend mornings are the best because you don’t have to rush yourself on doing things. On weekdays, mornings tend to be rushed. To emulate relaxed Saturday mornings, wake-up a bit earlier. Not as much as an hour early; just enough for you to enjoy your coffee, take a relaxing shower or even lounge around.

3. Do Some Preparation During the Weekend

One of the reasons why Mondays are overwhelming is because we’re overloaded with work, from choosing an outfit to answering emails. To avoid the chaos, dedicate an hour of your Sunday to plan for your outfit and meals for Monday—or for an entire week—and do some light works like clearing you email of junk mails. This enables you to start your week smoothly and make your Mondays less hectic.

4. Make a To-Do List

Let’s face it, Mondays have the tendency to make us to more things than we’re capable of. Take a moment to pause, and prioritize what needs to be done. Before Monday comes, make a to-do list to keep you guided of what needs to be done first. As much as possible, avoid multi-tasking, work through your tasks one thing at a time.

5. Be Nice

Human as we are, we get easily carried away on how much Mondays make us feel. Sometimes, we end up starting the week grumpy and forget that it’s Monday for everyone else as well. By treating your colleagues, clients and everyone around you nicely, you’ll make other people’s Monday a bit better, and in return make you feel good and encourage positivity on others, too.

Whether you crawl back in bed or own it like a boss, Monday is going to come and go. Maybe you won’t be excited for it, but there are things you can do to make the day a gateway to a successful week rather than just another step of a long march to the next weekend.

Depending on the country we are in, school days have different appeal to students. For others, they are glad that school is over – at least in the meantime but there are others who wish holidays will never arrive because it means more work and less play. Regardless of the country, school holidays are an integral part of the lives of students.

So, how do you spend your school days? If you are curious of what students do when they are on holidays, here is a quick reference on what students do to occupy themselves during school holidays:

• Singapore: Here in Singapore, not all students are happy during school holidays because they are still expected to fulfil or accomplish schoolwork. For those who are used to it, they automatically assume that all students from all over the world have the same tasks like them. The schoolwork during school holidays is not that bad, after all we boast of the best education in the world.
• Philippines: In the Philippines, school holidays mean bumming. There, school holidays are called semester break and students are looking forward to it. The break typically falls on the third or fourth week of October and usually lasts two weeks. Classes will resume first or second week of November. In two weeks, students are not expected to accomplish schoolwork or any projects.
• China: In China, school break means additional classes. It is a norm in China that students take additional classes to further their learnings. This is more productive than staying in the house and bum around. If there are no additional classes, students study for their upcoming exams.

• United States: In United States, summer camp is famous. When it is school holidays, no one is left in the house without the supervision of parents. As a result, American parents send their kids to summer camp. Summer camp offers varied programs and kids will surely find their interests and enrol.
• Australia: In Australia, school holidays are different depending on the Department of Education of each state. Typically it is from December to February. Students there enjoy the outdoors. Instead of bumming inside the house or do schoolwork, they prefer to enjoy the great outdoors. They consider camping, mountain climbing and surfing.
• United Kingdom: United Kingdom is a prosperous country and some affluent families send their kids to help out less fortunate people either abroad or locally. Parents in United Kingdom hope that helping out can enrich the learning of their children.

Students spend their school holidays differently and regardless of what country you are in, you have to occupy yourself with better things for the advancement of your learning.
