There is a saying at Harvard that a person's success depends entirely on his diligence in his spare time. If you can set aside two hours a night to read books, study homework, participate in some meaningful discussions or speeches, then you will find that your life is changing qualitatively.
In the same way, if you can make use of your weekends, you can make great progress for a few years.
However, in real life, how do most young people spend their weekends?
Some people overcompleted their learning tasks, some passed the game levels smoothly; some learned new knowledge from books, some people watched short videos for a day with their mobile phones...
After the "rest" on the weekend, some people gained a lot and made obvious progress. ; Some people suffer from "Monday Syndrome": either being late or feeling listless all day.
"Monday syndrome" refers to the symptoms of fatigue, chest tightness, and lethargy that office workers show on Monday. It was later found that younger students had similar symptoms when they were in class on Mondays.
The "Monday Syndrome" of office workers is caused by excessive physical exertion and excessive relaxation on weekends, so that when they return to work on Monday, there will be various "unsuitable" phenomena. Why are some people able to arrange their weekends so that they can always stay refreshed, while others suffer from "Monday Syndrome"?
The reason is that everyone's "self-discipline" ability is different. If you lack self-discipline and don’t know when to do things, you will not be able to plan your weekends.
So, how can we resolve the "Monday Syndrome"? The following 5 methods are available for reference:
1. Scientifically and reasonably arrange weekend activities. After a busy week, we are in need of a good rest. Especially the night before the working day, we must not stay up late, so as to ensure that we are full of energy in the next day's work. In our spare time, we can use this time to have dinner with friends and visit our parents and relatives, instead of completely letting go of ourselves.
2. Exercise can make people full of energy and enthusiasm. Dedicating ourselves to exercise can make us temporarily forget about the troubles around us. You might as well get up in the morning, move your body a little, go out for a run or do exercises at home to really wake up your mind and body. In the process of exercising, we can also release stress and some bad emotions.
3. Breakfast is essential. A good breakfast allows us to quickly get into the state of work in the morning, so breakfast cannot be ignored every day and must be taken seriously. According to medical research, eating low-fat, high-protein foods in the morning is best. Protein can increase the secretion of adrenaline, allowing people to concentrate, and low-fat foods can also reduce the burden on the body.
4. Proper rest can relax your body and mind. After a busy work, some relaxation activities can help us quickly eliminate the fatigue caused by work. We can sit on the sofa or recliner and transmit the belief of rest to all parts of the body. At this time, don't think about anything in the brain, you can listen to some light music, let yourself take a nap or do eye exercises. After your body relaxes, stretch your waist and move your muscles and bones, or have a snack or a cup of coffee to fill up your vitality and be full of energy.
5. Go to bed early on Sunday. Adequate sleep is a condition for work to be carried out in an orderly manner. Some people are used to sleeping late during the holidays, or they are more excited during the day and cannot sleep at all at night. At this time, we might as well try to lie in bed 35 to 40 minutes earlier, close our eyes and meditate, or take a bath to relax, which can help us fall asleep as soon as possible. If you still have the habit of staying in bed, it is better to make preparations for the next day in advance at night, which can shorten the preparation time in the morning and allow us to relax when we wake up.
