I believe that a career is a terrible thing to waste. So I ask:
Have you ever found yourself dreading the sound of your alarm clock on Monday morning? How did you feel last Monday? Did you “want to shoot the whole day down“?
If your alarm clock is waking you from dreams of better things and places, that’s OK. That kind of dreaming is vital. It’s what keeps us going. I’m really asking:
Has your job become a nightmare?
Why People Don’t Like MondaysIf you’re in the working world, it’s one of two reasons. Or both.
A career IS a terrible thing to waste. If you or your people are dreading Monday’s aren’t you obligated to find a remedy? Life is too short to spend your working hours in a living nightmare.

Tom, I think the whole issue is “jobs” corporate America with all its draconian workplace and person-to-person interaction restrictions (HR) leads to a lifeless, stifling environment to spend 40 + hours each week. Then there is the commute and the family grind.
One need to have a compelling reason (WHY!) for all this and then find a vehicle that will help achieve the WHY! With that we now have a reason to get up — every day — without any dread.
