Having a fulfilling weekend helps. The weekends where I sit and rot are where I get to Sunday night and feel like "oh shit I don't want to go to work I didn't enjoy my weekend".

But weekends where I've worked on projects, hung out with family and friends, gamed, maybe done some chores or just got out the house help lessen the blow. It also helps that I don't really sleep in much these days, like I'll usually get up at 9:30 or 10 and those couple hours instead of getting up at noon help make the day feel more worthwhile.

Doing all that usually has me tired enough going to sleep rather than doom scrolling or brain rotting. Which in turn leads to a gentler time waking up Monday.

And then on Monday itself I kinda ride the high of having a good weekend and that I can push through 8 hours to get back home and continue some of those activities
