Change your job. No I'm not being flippant. Seriously, life is way too short to be doing a job you aren't enjoying. Think how much time you spend there! add the travelling and the creeping horror that begins sunday afternoon. Well it's pretty much you whole life. No, you don't want to do that surely? Get looking at the situations vacant column.

You need to work out what interests you and ask yourself why you aren't making time for it. Maybe Sunday is the best time for practical preparations for the week after all, so what are you doing from Friday night all the way through to Sunday afternoon? I agree with the other poster who suggested finding another job. Something is out of balance, but without more information to work out what this might be I suggest you need to do a bit of serious thinking about what makes you tick. For example try to write down all the things you don't like about your current situation and then work out what this tells you.

1. Don't drink Saturday night...hangovers give killer anxiety.
2. Find a ritual you can always do on Sunday: watch football, join a club that meets on Sunday, clean your house, go out to dinner. Do it every Sunday afternoon, so it gives you something to look forward to.
3. Do all of your prep like cleaning, etc. at some other time, because that's only letting your mind wander about doing tedious work at work, while you do tedious work at home.
4. Get a new job. Everyone should at least not mind work.

A quick fix--fish out your cv and admire it, look at your professional affiliations/memberships/qualifications, work history, prizes etc and feel proud of your self and your work status, imagine yourself in a different light, ie your job is great and you are successful, hence you are going to look forward to emphasising that specialness by looking forward to getting another week's work in starting this monday. I know people (not me) who join professional associations, institutes academic-like for the prestige then they can feel proud of themselves, its called giving yourself a motivational boost, because at that crucial point noone knows you to give you motivation, also spend sunday nights with the crowd, friends, they will ease you into the work mode.

I would plan on doing something fun after work on Monday evening, that way you have something good to look forward to that can carry you through the Sunday blues and work itself!

Sadly it is Sunday TV that is the problem, if you have a car then why not go for a drive and pick up a couple of prostitutes, try to avoid Ipswich though.

Instead of thinking that it is the beginning of a new week, think of it as only 5 days to go till the weekend again, you are closer than you were Friday night! Weekends come round quicker than you think. Try to think posititve.

Start your own small business. Then you'll have that feeling 7 days a week, 24 hours a day and you won't know the difference.

give up work, that way every day can seem grim! seriously look to work smarter not longer, take long weekends, have holidays. If you do a job that you love then this would not be a question here.

Spending Sunday mornings in church will cure that down feeling in the afternoon.
