Sunday night anxiety in advance of the upcoming work week is very real. According to a recent research study, more than 75 percent of employees experience it. Half of them reported that their Sunday night angst was so severe that it made them consider changing jobs. Only 22 percent of more than 3,600 survey respondents said they were never nervous to return to work after a weekend.

How can you avoid this weekly downer and set yourself up for success, starting first thing on Monday? Just a few simple steps can help immensely, as long as you build them into your Friday afternoon routine.

Update & Sync Your Calendar

Before you leave on Friday, be sure you have a good handle on next week’s tasks, deadlines, meetings and responsibilities. This will enable you to start off strong on Monday, setting the tone for a less stressful, more productive workweek.
