I always give 100% at Work: 10% Monday, 23% Tuesday, 40% Wednesday, 22% Thursday, and 5% Friday
I always give 100% at work, or at least that's what I like to tell myself. But let's break it down, shall we? On Monday, I start the week with a solid 10% effort. It's not that I don't want to give more, but let's face it, Mondays are tough. The weekend feels like a distant memory, and the workload ahead seems daunting. So, I ease into the week with a cautious approach, saving my energy for the days to come.
Tuesday rolls around, and I manage to up my game to 23%. Hey, progress is progress, right? The midweek slump hasn't hit me yet, and I find myself slightly more motivated than on Monday. Maybe it's the thought of getting closer to the weekend, or perhaps it's just the coffee kicking in. Either way, I'm feeling a bit more productive, and that's worth celebrating.
Now, Wednesday is where things start to get interesting. Hump day, as they call it. I push myself to reach a whopping 40% effort. It's like a mini victory in the middle of the week. I tackle tasks with a newfound determination, fueled by the knowledge that the weekend is within reach. The office banter becomes a bit more lively, and I find myself cracking jokes to lighten the mood. After all, laughter is the best medicine, even in the workplace.
Thursday arrives, and I'm feeling the effects of the week catching up to me. My effort drops to 22%, but hey, it's still higher than Monday, right? The workload seems never-ending, and I start daydreaming about Friday afternoon. Yet, I soldier on, trying to find humor in the little things. A funny meme shared in the office chat or a quick joke with a colleague helps me keep going, even when my energy is waning.
Friday arrives, and my effort dwindles to a mere 5%. It's not that I don't care, but the weekend is calling my name, and my mind is already halfway out the door. I try to tie up loose ends and finish tasks, but my focus is divided between work and weekend plans. Funny affirmations become my saving grace on this day. I repeat silly mantras in my head, like "Just a few more hours, and you're free!" or "You can do this, even if you're mentally already at happy hour."
