"I have a lovely cleaner to help me on Mondays. Changing sheets, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning the bathroom. It's the best way to kickstart a new week after the house turns to chaos with weekend farm antics."
@jaz.mathisen

"Meal plan, baking for lunch boxes, and every morning eggs on muffin split with a coffee and Wordle!"
@countrymumlife

"Have a clean (as good as I can anyway) house. Start the week feeling good."
@shani_stewart

"A good old whiteboard with Monday- Friday written on it and everything that needs to be done on the farm that week. Then a message on the group chat to let the rest of the team know what I'm up to."

"I watch Breakfast on TV1 their interviews are great and the music is always upbeat. That paired with a coffee gets me off to a great start."

"Big cuppa of fruit tea and a piece of cake, combined with a journal entry. From there the week runs more smoothly. Although it might not be a Monday ritual, more of an any-day-of-the-week ritual."
