I find the first Monday after we turn the clocks back for the end of daylight saving time to be a fascinating example of how differently people experience the same thing. Much of the conversation on Facebook and Twitter today seems to center around how long the day feels—and for most people, that extra time feels more like a burden than a gift.
For me, I love it.
I already knew I was weird, because I really love Mondays. Recently, I have started to think about why that is. It’s because Monday holds so much promise for the week.
I love getting up and getting right into the world of health insurance. That is not to say that I am a morning person; coffee is very important, but Monday’s list is usually the longest and really sets the pace of the week ahead.
It’s exciting.
Now that we’ve rolled the clocks back, I woke up rested and still feeling the magic of that extra hour. All day, I’ve been fascinated by how much later it feels than it actually is. Somehow, that little time warp makes me feel like I have more time to get things done—and honestly, that makes me happy.
I was talking with someone about how we should just set the clocks back an hour every month. Sure, we might occasionally sleep through some daylight and end up working in the dark, but we’d get to experience this wonderful little time warp every month. I’m not sure that’s how time is supposed to work, but I’m willing to give it a try.
Sounds fun to me!
Lately, I’ve been noticing a real divide between people who genuinely enjoy what they do and those who simply don’t enjoy their work.
Is there a connection?
Maybe Mondays aren’t so bad when you’re pursuing something you love and genuinely enjoy the work you’re doing. Perhaps the people who dread Mondays are in jobs that don’t fulfill them—or simply don’t feel like they’re getting what they want out of life.
Just a thought. But maybe there’s something to it.
