“Bare Minimum Mondays” is an ethos which prioritizes doing less work on most people’s least favorite day of the week.
and a digital creator in Phoenix, Ariz., recently stole the Internet’s attention for coining “Bare Minimum Mondays,” an ethos which prioritizes doing less work on most people’s least favorite day of the week.During Mayes’ first year of self-employment after leaving corporate America, she found herself feeling overwhelmed, stuck in burnout and struggling to operate.
“It led me to have one of the least stressful Mondays I’d had in a while, so I wanted to investigate why,” she said. “[It] was extremely liberating, because I’d been conditioned by hustle culture/toxic productivity culture to believe that my worth is directly tied to my productivity and output.” The “work” segment of her day is a three- to four-hour window of essential tasks. “I make sure that the tasks I assign myself are urgent, important or both, and everything else waits until Tuesday, unless it feels good to keep working on Monday,” she said.To figure out what that means for you, look at your daily list and ask yourself if there are any “wishful thinking” tasks on the list and then take them off, said Mayes.
Nevertheless, Mayes would challenge people to figure out what their own version of BMM looks like, even if it’s, say, a Bare Minimum Friday or Bare Minimum Sunday morning. “I would also remind people that overworking themselves to the point of burnout is not an effective productivity strategy,” she said.ShutterstockBMM isn’t the only practice Mayes employs to keep work-life balance in a good place.
