Well it’s official – Mondays barely make the cut as productive days. In a recent survey conducted by staffing firm Accountemps, 57% of executives said Tuesday was the most productive day of the week. Only 12% ranked Monday as the most productive. Of course Friday tailed off with a 3% ranking.
When I chose the title No More Mondays I wasn’t trying to erase Mondays – only the negative stigma we’ve allowed to build around that day. I want you to love Mondays as much as Fridays. Oh yeah – that’s what having fulfilling work can do. If the thought of Monday still makes your blood pressure rise or stomach turn – keep looking and planning. Don’t settle for less than meaningful work.
2nd century disciple St. Irenaeus said “The Glory of God is Man Fully Alive.” If the 40-50 hours a week you spend in your work is a boring and unfulfilling time, you are not “fully alive.”

Hi Dan,
Almost completed No More Mondays. Good news after completing it, 48 dyas to work you love and coaching with Chuck Bowen, I have found my calling. Bad news, I’m seriously not sure I can walk one or two more days (steps) in my current “j-o-b.” I have an asst director position at a University and realize I’m living someone else’s life/dream, I no longer want it, I want to be fully alive!! 🙂 Please keep me in your prayers, specifically, I am thinking of taking a part-time posiiton at a local retail store just to get out of the volatile enviornment I’m in to increase creativity/thinking. Each day, a misery/dread comes over me as I walk into the office. But, my dream and refining the goals/steps to it are keeping me alive inside.
thanks,
Joey

Howdy, I have a habit of browsing the internet and found this site! Over all, this journal is pretty good, I, for one, am very fond of the graphics. If you get a second can you shoot me an email at bobbymc@live.com and let me know who designed it or where you found it? Thanks.
