Tips when using Monday quotes.
The golden rule when using Monday quotes: know your audience.
Not everyone loves Mondays. If you come to the office with all the positive Monday quotes you can find, people will get tired of your aphorisms pretty early in the day.
Not everyone hates Mondays, either. If you come in with only the sarcastic Monday quotes, the underlying negativity might ruin someone else’s mood.
Most of the time, you can pick up on someone’s Monday vibe easily. When in doubt, try to mix things up. Put a positive Monday quote on a poster or banner, then send a funny Monday quote in a social media graphic or on a flyer to start a Monday morning meeting with a laugh.
For some added introspection, you can even take the quiz to the right to see what kind of Monday person you really are.
