1. It inspires you to set out and achieve new goals: Unlike the weekends, when all you are thinking about is resting or going to the bar and hanging out with friends, Mondays juices up your serious and goal getting hormones and motivates you to doing greater things.

Don't be shy, I won't tell I promise lol. 1. PICKING YOUR NOSE Well this is a pretty obvious habit amongst so many people (myself excluded😉).
