Monday Motivation Apr 21
Yeap it’s that time again, and while I missed last week I am determined to get this Monday Motivation in on time!
Determination!
Sometimes that is what it takes to get your motivation going. Plain old fashioned determination. And this morning I have it in spades!
I have lots of projects that I need to get going and get out of the way. I have writing projects, a new website to launch, and that hasn’t even started to mention the fact that I have a yard sale this weekend and tons of stuff to sort through in the next 6 weeks.
It has come down to that point that determination is definitely part of getting me motivated. There are many things that motivate us. Different things for different people. Some may find success and the admiration of peers their motivation, others have motivation of making their families proud, mom, dad, spouse and kids. Others may just have the motivation of paying the bills. It may be a combination of all of the above.
And some, like me, have their motivation change from day to day. Different things get me out of bed every morning. This morning it was the fact that I need to get done with my writing in three days this week instead of five, because Friday I am getting ready for another (and last) yard sale. And Wednesday we are going on a day trip to St Augustine, Florida. That’s right! I am going to be laying on the beach, soaking up the rays. I may take a stroll around the quaint little shops as well.
But this does give me the determination to get it all done. To do a great job, so I can enjoy my day off in the sun.
Determination …
What’s you Monday Motivation???



All in all, I love Mondays. They are a clean slate, open for new things, new adventures. Of course for those who commute to a boring job, Mondays are not so glorious. LOL
To make the most of my Mondays, I “close shop” at 4:00 on Friday. From 4:00-5:00 (sometimes 5:30), I clean up my desk, empty the recycling bin & trash can, vacuum my office, make my to do list for next week, update my project calendar and post it on my site for my clients to see. If there is some free time, I try to send a quick “Checking in” email to those clients that I haven’t heard from in a while, or add that to my to do list.
When I walk into my office on Monday morning, well … everything is tidy, organized and I’m ready to go
Ciao!!

Judilynn,
So glad you inspired me to start doing MOnday motivations. I love Hipchick’s routine on Friday’s how cool! Though on Friday’s by 4 pm I am out of work mode. I do my “To do” list for the week on Sunday nights, by that point I’m ready for the work week again, most of the time.
