Simple Mondays exists to make the first day of every week feel lighter, clearer, and more meaningful.
We publish research‑backed insights, mindset shifts, and practical tools that help busy professionals launch into Monday—and the rest of the week—with calm confidence.
Our Story
Monday has a branding problem.
While most of the internet jokes about “Sunday Scaries,” we wondered: What if the start of the week could be something people actually look forward to?
Simple Mondays began as a small side‑project inside a productivity Slack group. A single newsletter issue—sent to 37 friends—snowballed into a growing community of readers who wanted structured, evidence‑based guidance for turning Monday from a hurdle into a springboard.
Today, Simple Mondays is still independent, reader‑funded, and obsessed with one question: How can we help you start strong so everything that follows feels easier?
What Makes Us Different
- Research, distilled. We translate behavioral science and workplace psychology into plain‑language guides you can apply before your first coffee is cold.
- Simplicity over overload. Every article goes through a “less‑but‑better” filter—no jargon, no listicles padded for word count.
- Community first. Our editorial calendar is shaped by reader polls, live Q&A sessions, and the questions you send us at 11 p.m. on a Sunday night.
