Here’s How You Make It Through the Mid-Week Slump
What day does your mid-week slump start on? Is it the Tuesday after
having the Monday est. Monday or is it smack dab in the middle on
Wednesday? Either way the symptoms are the same. If you’re experiencing
grogginess, lack of motivation, and an overwhelming focus on the weekend
that is still too far out of reach, then you’re most definitely
suffering from a mid-week slump.
No need to call the doctor! Here are a few tips to help you make it through what’s left of the week while having a little bit of fun too.
Make Wednesday a Mini-Saturday
Who said you couldn't have fun during the week? If you save all of the fun stuff for Saturday and Sunday, you're missing out on plenty of slump-busting opportunities throughout the week. If you wake up early, hit the gym, go to work, make dinner, and go to bed every day, it's no surprise you're exhausted and ready for the weekend.
So take the night off—you deserve it. Whether that means meeting up with the girls for extended happy hour, going to a movie, or just binging a series you’ve already seen three times, take the night off to relax. When you have a mini weekend in the middle of the week, you can turn the slump into a party to propel you to the weekend.
Get Organized
By the middle of the week, that perfectly cleaned desk you had on Friday is likely chaotic. Even you, the official chaos coordinator, could use a little bit of organization in your life. Having a neatly organized desk not only looks aesthetically pleasing but also could give you the push you need to get some serious work done.
If you are the clutter queen of the office, you should check out these cute desk sets in variety of stunning colors. They have everything you need to master your corporate craft while keeping it in one place, so you (hopefully) never have to ask to borrow a piece of tape again. Or a stapler. Or a pen—talk about finally making it in the corporate world.
Make Work Fun
Besides making your mid-week evenings fun, you should evaluate the place you spend 40 hours a week at—your job! We're not in the 1950s anymore, and work doesn't have to be a drab, serious, boring place. Even some of the most "serious" companies find ways to keep things interesting, and that culture has helped shape the modern corporate environment.
Whether that means team building events, Friday lunch beers, or just having funny coffee mugs, find a way to make your job more fun. You can’t go home, and you’ll have to be there for like 75% of your life so you might as well have fun while you’re crushing it.
Don’t Let It Get to You
Finally, sometimes all you can do is put on your positive pants and get down to business. With 52 weeks in a year, and with the average career being around 40 years long, you could have over 2,000 potential midweek slumps to look forward to. Don’t like it? Don’t let it get to you. Focus on being the superstar you are, and you can breeze through every week with ease.
