WHO INVENTED MONDAYS ANYWAY?
Setting Priorities
William Mather
MONDAY
• Old English from circa 900AD
MON d ae g
Means “The Second Day”
LIVING UNTIL YOUR 81
• You get to deal with 4212 Mondays
• Working 30 years will provide you with 1560 Mondays (4.19 years of Mondays)
But taking out Labor day (which you probably worked) would give you 1530 Mondays
MONDAYS ARE USUALLY ABOUT PRIORITIES
Priority by definition:
Superiority in rank, position, or privilege the right to
precede another.

SETTING PRIORITIES
• 1st. Emergencies
• 2nd. Mandates

ITEMS OR ISSUES
• Often acquire priority status because of our inability to
get something done for many legitimate reasons.
