Research in the UK showed Tuesday is busiest day of the week. It’s not Monday as most people will admit. People use Mondays to gear up (slowly) for the work week.
But for me, it’s actually Friday that’s the most busy. Here, people are anticipating being busy on Monday. Everyone tries to wrap up work, as much as they can before the weekend starts. When Monday arrives, it will be less hectic and daunting. I can actually look forward to work on Monday!
Moreover, the weekend is a sweet reward for a busy and stressful Friday.
It’s a Get-Things-Done attitude, and perhaps a survival instinct in the corporate world. I like this approach. It’s very commendable and a worthwhile habit.
No more “I Hate Mondays”. It’s common for people to dread coming into work on Monday. It’s common to “call in sick” on Monday.
Getting things done on Friday is not the only way to beat the blue Mondays. In this economy, with business trying to cut back on expenses, more people like the idea of a 4-day work week. It means less paycheck, but it gives more time to spend with the family, hobbies, etc. I believe it’s going to promote a much tighter schedule during the week, with less time wasted on idle work.
So, are you busy on Tuesday?

Jot It Down
I would definitely agree with this. For me Tuesday and Wednesday are without a doubt the busiest…monday afternoon is usually pretty hectic too.
I think every day is busy and fulfilling if you have your “to do” list ready and you dive into it. The key is not getting sidetracked and distracted and going off on a tangent.
It also helps if you love what you do and have a passion for it, otherwise every day can become a dread day.
