If Sunday night feels like a countdown, and Monday morning feels heavy before you have even opened your laptop, you are not alone - and you are not broken. Stop Dreading Monday is a practical guide to finding the real causes of that weekly dread and fixing what you realistically can, without needing a new personality or an impulsive resignation. Soraya Fenwicke helps you pinpoint your own work stress causes: hidden workload, fuzzy expectations, constant interruptions, meetings that breed more work, and boundaries that leak faster than you can patch them. You will learn a clear framework for workload management, building role clarity, and using communication at work to reduce ambiguity and prevent last-minute surprises. You will also design simple weekly planning habits and recovery routines that fit a busy life, so the week stops stealing your evenings and your weekends. This book is for anyone who needs their job, wants to keep their options open, and is tired of repeating the same cycle of overwhelm. Through short exercises, realistic scripts, and small experiments, you will replace reactive coping with steady control: firmer boundary setting at work, calmer Mondays, and a workweek that feels lighter to carry. It is not a promise of a perfect job - it is a way to make your current job more workable, and to support burnout prevention by changing the patterns that create dread in the first place.
