It was a wonderful Saturday, and now you are almost halfway through Sunday. All you want to do is to spend some time with friends, or perhaps just chill out a bit in front of the TV. But suddenly “Sunday scaries” creeps up: a to-do list, a project deadline, a big meeting, a not-so-great boss. No, this is not an ideal way to wrap up time off.



If "Sunday scaries" hit like clockwork, stop wishing Mondays would go away. Instead, learn tactics to deal with dreadful thoughts and feel less stressed while you’re off the clock.

Distract your mind

Sometimes, all you need is a little distraction to keep your mind from wandering to work or other tasks you are supposed to do. Don’t hesitate - go to the pub that you passed by the last day but did not have a chance to have a drink.

An Ode to My Thesaurus 

"They’ve got you all wrong. They think you’re a trick, a cheat sheet for fancy words, a way of counterfeiting cleverness. Or they’ll treat you as a mere lexical resource. A vocabulary expander. … But that’s not how, or when, to use you. That’s not who you are. You, my friend, are a vision."
