^{While starting on Monday, your mood is probably off. This does not mean that you should not start your day at all. You may be feeling stressed due to some other reasons. However, if you start your day in a bad mood, chances are high that you will finish the day in a bad mood also.}

^{If you want to overcome this problem, the first thing that you need to do is to understand what causes your mood to change during work hours. This will help you change your behavior and take charge of your work situation. For instance, if you start your day by having a negative attitude, chances are high that things are going to get worse for you. So, you have to change your thought pattern to one of happiness and confidence. Here are some points, which will tell you that why your mood is off while working on Monday.}

^{1. Your Attitude –}

^{Your attitude is very important while working on Monday. If you are constantly angry or have negative thoughts, you will not be able to concentrate on your tasks. Your mood becomes negative as time passes by. If you feel that your mood is off while starting your work on Monday, you should start recollecting positive thoughts. These should be things that make you feel good.}

^{2. Your Daily Routines –}

^{You should try to create routines in your daily routine. This way, you will get accustomed to the things that you have to do and will be able to focus on the task at hand. If you find that you are running out of time before you complete all the tasks set forth for you, then you should consider taking breaks. Taking a break for a short period of time will rejuvenate your mind and body and bring your energy levels back to the desired level.}

^{3. Review your Work –}

^{When the day begins to wind down, you should review the tasks that you have completed. You should write down each task and its outcome. If you find that things did not go as expected, you should consider reworking your plan. This does not mean that you rewrite all the tasks, but it simply gives you a chance to make the necessary changes.}

^{4. Prioritize your Tasks –}

^{You should also consider planning in advance. If you have an assignment due on Monday, you should already have a rough idea about what you have to do. In this manner, you will be able to prioritize your tasks. If you are already at work on Friday, you should ensure that you complete all of your work by the end of the week. This will ensure that you will be able to attend your job on time. In addition, the extra work will be well worth it.}

^{Final Words –}

^{When starting Monday, your first task should be to identify which department you will head out to work on. It may be tempting to just tackle everything in sight, but this is not a good idea. Each department has certain things that you should consider before heading out into the office. For example, if you have assignments for the next week, try to allocate at least two hours for these projects.}

^{Otherwise, you might spend more time than needed on these tasks. You should also ensure that the tasks that should be completed on Mondays are more significant than the ones that should be left until tomorrow.}

^{Another thing that you should do when you find that you are not functioning well while working on Monday is to relax. Get away from your work for at least one hour and spend some time with your family or friends.}

^{When you start feeling better, you will be more productive and be able to focus more effectively on your tasks. In addition, when you are better rested, you will find that you can get more done in less time. If you are unable to manage your time, then it is unlikely that you will be able to get anything done on time.}
