With nearly two-thirds of professionals saying they experience the 'Sunday Scaries,' this feeling is at an all-time high. Bestselling author and founder Carson Tate shared her four best tips for overcoming the end-of-weekend dread.
2. Do hard work.
Dr. Martin Seligman, a psychologist, says the “flow state”—or the optimal state between too much stress and boredom—is one of the three main drivers of human happiness. How can one reach the flow state? Hard work. “The overwhelming project, the promotion that would require you to learn a new market segment, or the opportunity to transfer to your firm’s London office all require hard work,” said Tate. “And hard work is typically fraught with anxiety and stress, not happiness.” However, it is in the “hard work,” or those challenging opportunities that force us to leave our comfort zone, that people most often experience flow.
Consider routinizing things like email correspondence by checking email on a pre-set schedule, or limiting wardrobe and meal options so that your time and energy can be used on higher-value decisions. The time you save by developing routines is time you can spend pursuing personal interests or professional projects that energize and excite you.Breaks aren’t for the lazy and unmotivated. In fact, they’re completely necessary in order to be truly productive.
