When it’s Friday and I think “I could take care of this, or I could just do it on Monday,” I try to motivate myself to get as much done as possible by thinking about how much better I’ll feel on Sunday night if I know I have an easy day tomorrow.
Looks about right. For me, it’s panic cuz my college assignments are always due Sunday night and I procrastinate until the last minute. I like to live on the edge I guess.
I might be that one unicorn, but I actually enjoy my job. I have fantastic co-workers and I enjoy my time there. That being said, I’ve had jobs where the thought of going to work made me want to throw up. Life is too short for that nonsense!
I retired 19 months ago and I’m not here to gloat, but rather to say that it took me about a year before I lost the ‘late Sunday afternoon blues’. Think about it: they start somewhere around third grade (or whenever we started getting homework), go all the way through high school and college, and get worse through our work years. It takes awhile to ‘unlearn’ almost 60 years of behavior. But once it’s gone, it’s delightful (ok, so I gloated a little at the end)
This chart is backwards for me, I hate running, and in the past when I used to game all night, I would decide that enough gaming had been done, and it was finally time to go for that evening run… at 3 or 4am.
I enjoy my job and absolutely do no dread it at all. In fact it is monday morning here but I’ve already finished my work for the day, so I’m stealth making ambient music on my computer until it’s time to go home.
And yet I still get the sunday scaries, big time. While cooking dinner last night I just felt utterly doomed.
Accurate graph
I work on Sundays.
EDIT: Grammar. Thank you for pointing it out!
Seems about right. Alcohol consumption is missing though.
I’m a teacher this is 100% accurate.
Sex had is low, but isn’t zero…
Someone’s beating the meat whole the time?
It’s a productive day if I’m motivated enough to watch Netflix

I don’t always succeed, but I try.
Correction, my will to live usually begins around 0 and is currently below that
When you have small kids this whole graph implodes
Man… what happened on your will to live…. I mean mine is typically there at the end, but you had such high hopes.
You okay?
It’s funny because it’s depressing

The “…Shows watched” having another step up after the bedtime line is too relatable.

I hate the senseless panic

Sundays used to fill me with such anxiety as a child. I had tons of sleeping problems at night, didn’t want to go to school, and slept in late.

Oh neat, an improvement from the [whiteboard graphs](https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/6goraj/sunday_night/). Glad to see this wasn’t someone taking your work and just changing the format to call it their own.
Quadruple this for the next few Sundays as those who have been working at home are beginning to return to office.
Will to live? Lost that in the 90s
I’m starting my new job (and first job in 2 years) tomorrow. Panic is most definitely setting in.
That will to live curve starts a little high, tbh.
Graph’s wrong. Will to live should be a parallel line just below the sex one.

The ol Sunday Scaries is what we call them
