When we take on new things – from launching a new project to starting a new health kick – we almost universally choose to kick off “on Monday”.
Monday is convenient because it’s the start of the week and we imagine we’ll be as fresh as a daisy and raring to go.
Ask around, though, and general wisdom will suggest people hate Mondays1. Why choose to start something fresh and exciting on such an energy-draining day?
If you genuinely want to start something new, start it today. Or Wednesday. Or Tuesday. Or any day of the week that will allow you to start with a bang. Don’t put it off ’til Monday.
