"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."
@onecuriouskiwishepherd

"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."
