The most important part of workplace communication for you at the beginning of the week is listening. Hear out someone with a different point of view. You're likely to learn something. Around wednesday, you might find yourself daydreaming about playing hooky. Just do it, if you can. If it's not feasible, plan to clock out early, and concentrate in the meantime. Schedule a power lunch for friday. You can network with the best of them and leave the rest of them behind. This weekend, a eureka moment about work could come when you least expect it.
