If I were you, and I actually wanted to win, here is exactly how I would treat every Monday morning:
First, ignore almost every email. If it is urgent, they will call you. If it is not, it can wait.
Second, find the one move that actually matters. Not ten. Just one. The one thing that moves your business forward.
Third, block the first two hours of the day. No meetings. No calls. No small talk. Just forward progress.
Fourth, set a hard boundary before the week even begins. Know exactly what you will not allow to drain your time and energy this week. Then stick to it.
Fifth, win by noon. If you are not ahead by noon on Monday, the week owns you. You will be reacting instead of leading.
Most people start Monday acting like they have all the time in the world. They don't.
Monday decides everything.
Win today and you win the week.
If you want the Monday Playbook I give to executive teams, just reply and say "Playbook" and I will send it over.
