The more you rush on monday, the less you get done. Try crossing one thing off your list at a time. Then someone's got a surprise in their skill set around wednesday, and it could be just the complement to the work you've done on your latest project. Use that charm to get them to partner with you. You've got your own surprise up your sleeve at the workweek's end. It's only when you understand and respect the status quo that you can improve on it like this. Put new projects on hold this weekend, though. You'll only have to backtrack due to changing circumstances.
