✅ Today’s tip: Block off time on Fridays, not Mondays, to plan for the next week.

Time-management expert Laura Vanderkam’s best advice for an easier Monday: “Simply spend some time each Friday listing out the most important priorities for the week ahead (those will now get done first thing on Monday morning), and emailing any requests for meetings that need to happen throughout the week.” That way, you can start your week with minimal friction — and put work out of your mind for the weekend, knowing you have a plan in place.
