In all honesty if we abandon Mondays Tuesday will just take it's place.

I'm prone to think we should just abolish weeks. Days are based on Earth's rotation, years on its orbit, months on the moon's, but weeks... weeks are purely artificial. And I maintain it's downright WEIRD to have days named after Norse (and Roman) gods when the Gregorian calendar is based off the birth of JESUS. Week defenders will insist that the names come from PLANETS, and that works for Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, but none of them have ever been able to show me where the planets Tyr, Woden, Thor, or Frey are (I also object to September, October, November and December not being the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months anymore, but that's just misnumbering; not really a religious matter).
I mean, if we're going to keep THOSE names, we should at least act accordingly; on Thursday we should attempt to drink the entire ocean, on Friday we should propagate the Swedish population, and on Saturday we should eat our children.
Or we could pick better gods. Either way.
The problem isn´t Monday but the change from break to work day. No matter which day it might be, it will always be annoying.
I think it depends on your attitude towards that they. I for example like a Jewish tradition or calculation that the day starts with an evening so it already starts when I go to bed not when I wake up.
For me that eases the stress a bit and helps me prepare for the next day ahead and I´m way more positive when I wake up because the day has begun with a longer nap so to say.
In Israel, we have our weeks beginning at Sundays and ending with Saturdays, so Monday is just an average day for me.
So.. I'll give my opinions on Saturdays!
Here in Israel many people are religious Jews, Muslims, or even Christians, so on Saturdays, everything is closed, all clothing stores, all stores except these small Kiosks that sell Drinks, snacks, or lottery tickets, that's because they follow what god did in the bible, he rested on the 7th day, so.. knowing my luck. my birthday falls on a Saturday, kind of sucks.
it's also our only day to rest in the week, we work / study 6 days a week and return home for one day.
final conclusion on Saturdays;
I hate them
They can sometimes get you down, especially if they are also rainy.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/71ggDpLKSKgQuite the contrary. Monday signifies the opening of the market for the week. And given the state of the stock market for the last month and a half it's been a time to stack a lot of paper. 🙂
Yeah I felt that way back ee hen I was 9 to 5 ing it.
In general on Monday I think Mondays should be abolished, but in other days I usually realise that abolishing Mondays would only signify that Tuesday will become the new Monday. Maybe we should abolish workdays.
mondays dont suck, its what you do (going to your job) on mondays that sucks!
It's just the "I hate going back to work after a break" concept. No matter what you call that day, it would be hated. Might as well stick with Monday.
I like Mondays. Everyone is working, and the brats are in school.
Monday is my favorite part of the week. Its the first day of a new week, new possibilites and experiences. But I love my job so that helps:)
Don't be daft.
Mondays are the best days, as you can get a lot more done.
Just because you are unhappy with yourself and your career, don't try push us all in with you.
Look at the bright side it’s almost Friday & if you have a case of the Mondays or the Monday blues just remember any day could be Friday.
Yeah screw Monday.
I am so stressed now not because of left-over work from last week, but because there are several systems down on our company - delaying work..
The problem is that if you postpone a Monday, next Monday will feel twice as long. No one wants that.
I think Tuesdays are worst than Mondays. Monday I still and rested from the weekend but on Tuesday there is still a long way till Friday.
Monday’s are my days off so 😎😎😎. Happy Monday!
Well I'm starting my Monday with a margarita and a nice view of a stream so I like Monday's a bit
I agree Monday's ought to be optional. Why don't we go to four day work week with 10-hour days. Then you'll have 3-day weekends. It could be Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday. Either way you do 40 hours.
I don't have an issue with any day of the week tbh I just wish I could have slept more over the weekend my work have been suffering for it today. Tho I could see the appeal of a different work week like Sunday to Thursday.

Monday are not good for my OCD tendencies and fixations...
