If Sunday nights are awash with anxiety and Mondays feel like a matter of survival, chances are you’re already familiar with ‘Bare Minimum Monday’: the idea that employees take it super easy on the first day of the working week.
The term was coined by a TikTok creator Marisa Jo who claims that BMM is the optimum time to do low key admin and prep jobs, which will smoothly pave the way productivity later on in the week. The concept is linked to the so-called Sunday Scaries — anxiety, basically — which regularly affect more than two-thirds of Britons, who cite lack of sleep and the anticipation of a heavy workload as the reason for their end of weekend angst.
