5 things you need to know this Monday
JOHANNESBURG - In hopes of washing away the Monday blues, here's five great things to know today!
Mondays can always be a little painful at times. No matter how much you love your job, the transition from weekend mode into work mode can sometimes be a little rocky.
Need a little kick in the pants? This should inspire you:
Weather: Mostly sunny and pleasant! Monday for the win with clear skies and highs of 26 degrees celsius.
Stocks: Rand set to break 5-year pattern of decline as a wall of money from investors seeking returns is flooding emerging markets, helping the rand gain 13% against the dollar this year, claim analysts.
Random fact: Banging your head against a wall burns 150 calories an hour! (pretty easy to do on a Monday, but this week it’s all about positivity!)
Entertainment & Food: After previous false rumours of celebrity chef Jamie Oliver’s Jamie’s Italian restaurant chain coming to South Africa, it’s finally been confirmed that the first local outlet will open in Melrose Arch this month.
If you missed yesterday’s news, we’ve got you covered.
#MondayMotivation: This is the real secret of life – to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play. – Alan Wilson Watts
Sooooo, go ahead! Own Monday:
