We’ve all heard the song “Manic Monday” by the Bangles:
It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my funday
An I-don’t-have-to-run day
It’s just another manic Monday
(So sorry to get the song stuck in your head!)
But the point is, Monday gets a bad rap and I’d like to offer you a little help in turning that around.
Join me every Monday as I share a ‘Manner Monday’ tip for you to think about as you get your week started. Manner Monday is for everyone… anyone trying to make a positive impact on their personal environment and the people they come into contact with on a regular basis.
Manner Monday is not a long and arduous process… it consists of little tips (many of which we all know – but need a gentle reminder) to help you keep good manners in focus and in check as you kick off your week.
Here are a few ideas to make the most of Manner Monday:
- Use it as a table topic for mealtime discussion this week.
- Post it on your mirror, in your car, or on your computer.
- Use it to jump-start your staff meeting.
- Do you drive carpool? Have the kiddos turn off the technology and engage in some dialogue using the Manner Monday tip of the week.
Have fun with it!
