TED Talks Daily · What happened when I started scoring my life every day | Chris Musser · 28 Jan 2026 podcast

Anybody hate Mondays?

Two people hate Mondays.

Well, I hate Mondays.

And so these are my scores on Mondays.

Several Mondays over the course of a few months, I get low scores across dimensions.

I don't love my wife well.

I pout at her.

She calls me pouty pants sometimes.

I didn't do well at work.

I felt stressed.

I handled my emotions poorly.

I didn't eat well.

But then here's the thing.

I noticed this pattern, which is the Mondays were typically bad, but this Monday storm always passes, usually by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Which shifts how I think about Mondays, right?

Because there's a fundamental difference between a tough day when you project it out into eternity, as I often do, and a bad day when you already know the end of the story.

You know, I also get tunnel vision, especially at work.

My wife is a big logistics gal, and I'm not a big logistics guy.

So she'll text me at work for logistics, and there's one time she did this for 12 and a half hours straight.

And I saw the text.
