Monday you leave. Monday, hard day: a selection of statuses and quotes about Monday
On Monday you always want to sleep, Wednesday is a small Friday, real Friday is a short day, and on Sunday it is better not to start business. “The Secret” tells why we feel depressed on some days of the week and can’t concentrate on others, and how to find time to work if something is wrong with almost every day of the week.
Why don't you work and don't rest?
If you believe psychological research, most days of the week are invented only to traumatize and disorganize people. For example, it is believed that Monday is the hardest day. Psychologists explain this by saying that people experience stress when returning to work after the weekend. The psyche and physical health. Monday syndrome affects not only those who work from Monday to Friday, but also people with irregular work weeks and those who do not work at all. Several different studies conducted in the 90s showed that the highest number of suicides occurs on Mondays, and the number of strokes and heart attacks also increases on Mondays. Moreover, even among pensioners, heart problems most often occur on Mondays - the old attitudes are so strong that, even after retiring, many people feel nervous at the beginning of the week.
In 2015, psychologists from the Universities of Lincoln, York and Hertfordshire gathered a group of volunteers to find out how the days of the week differ in people's perceptions. When talking about Monday, most respondents used the words “boredom” and “tiredness,” while they associated Friday with fun and freedom. Moreover, every day the experiment participants were asked what day of the week it was - it turned out that 40% of people could answer this question without hesitation only on Monday and Friday. In the middle of the week they were confused and could not decide whether it was Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. But one thing was clear: no one likes Monday, and everyone likes Friday. True, no one likes to work on Fridays either. As a rule, on this day people make plans for the weekend, come to the office in jeans and go home early. According to psychologists, at the end of the week people feel happier, freer and more relaxed, but this does not motivate them to work.
Sunday isn't all right either. IN English language There is a concept called Sunday night blues - these are anxiety attacks that happen on the eve of a new work week. According to statistics, approximately 81% of Americans experience anxiety states on Sunday evening. At such moments, some people simply cannot find a place for themselves, cannot fall asleep quickly, or try to get to work without waiting for the morning. Happens to some panic attacks, and then on Monday morning these people feel even more overwhelmed and depressed.
In addition to Sunday night blues, there is also the “syndrome school diary" - describes him Russian psychologist Andrey Karelin in the book “Psychology of Change”. He believes that from childhood a person gets used to imagining a week as two pages from a school diary - everything begins on Monday and ends on Saturday. On one sheet of paper is a difficult and boring beginning of the week, where all three days are school days. On the other - the second half of the week, where Saturday is a day off or a shortened day. There is no Sunday in this scheme, and many, having become adults, out of habit “miss” Sunday, do not consider it a full-fledged day on which they can do at least something important. Because of this, on Monday morning many do not feel rested and refreshed, and Sunday flies by somehow unnoticed and blurred. For those who suffer from “school diary syndrome,” the psychologist advises to imagine those same two pages from school times with Sunday pasted into them, painted in bright colors.
Wednesday is also not humanity’s favorite day. Scientists from the University of Sydney, trying to find out how our mood changes depending on the days of the week, surveyed a group of 200 and then 350 people every day and came to the conclusion that volunteers have the worst time on Wednesdays - last weekend is behind us, and before the next ones are still far away, and not only office employees, who hate their jobs, but are also motivated workaholics. Firstly, even fans of their work after several days of work want a change of scenery, and secondly, the “school diary syndrome” subconsciously overcomes everyone, regardless of motivation.
Progress for the unfortunate
So we have very good reasons do not work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and do not start the work week on Sunday. On Saturday, most of us want to relax, sleep and take a walk, and some even have Shabbat. It turns out that for active work Only Tuesday and Thursday remain.
Indeed, according to psychologists, Tuesday is the best day for work, when the fears and doubts of Monday are already behind you, and a depressive environment has not yet arrived. Letters and messages that have accumulated since the end of the week have already been sorted out, and people are moving on to the most difficult tasks before they get tired and think about the weekend.
In 2012, Professor Todd Thrash from Williamsburg, who has spent his entire life studying the phenomenon of inspiration, gathered a group of volunteers and, using a questionnaire, tried to find out how happy and inspired they felt in life. different days weeks. It turned out that most people experience bursts of inspiration on Tuesdays. It is believed that it was on Tuesday that Thomas Jefferson came up with his Declaration of Independence. At this time he was away from home, having just learned that his wife was terminally ill, and a few days before his child had died.
The experiment participants experienced bouts of happiness on Fridays, precisely on those days when they were least inclined to work and did not experience any inspiration. That is, with Tuesday, “the best day for work,” everything is also not so simple.
The famous American psychologist Nick Tusler in his column reflects on how the feelings of happiness and inspiration relate to each other, and comes to the conclusion that they almost contradict each other: a person works most productively in those moments when a lot of problems fall on him and he tries to do everything at once, that is, in the middle of the week. The psychologist believes that there is nothing wrong with this, and in general, happy and stupid Fridays are greatly overrated.
“I have nothing against happiness,” says Tasler. - But often, when we strive for happiness, we neglect inspiration. In thinking about the coming Friday, you may miss the benefits of Tuesday.” According to Tasler, Tuesday is the day we most often forget about later. On Tuesdays there are no noisy parties and romantic meetings; something important is rarely planned for this day. But it is on Tuesday, buried in a routine and solving a bunch of problems at the same time, that we unnoticeably make breakthroughs. So, according to the psychologist, maybe it's better to look forward every week not to Friday, when people are cheerful and unproductive, but to Tuesday - the day when we will be unhappy, but maybe we will do something truly important. But whether progress is worth happiness - each of us decides for himself. By the way, according to statistics, on Tuesday people are least likely to have sex - this also says a lot. The only more or less decent day of the week is Thursday, and, according to research, no one takes it seriously, because everyone confuses this day with Wednesday.
The power of stereotypes
There are other statistics: scientists from the University of Toulouse in 2001 found that the Irish, who often spend weekends in bars and pubs, are much more likely to suffer from high blood pressure on Monday than the French - they usually do not drink too much on weekends and at the beginning of the week feel the same as on all other days. Here the question arises: is Monday really an unconditional evil that drives us into stress, or is the syndrome at the beginning of the week the result of habits and a consequence of stereotypes, like all other syndromes associated with the days of the week?
In 2008, scientists from the University of Sydney conducted a study: 202 volunteers for a week, morning and evening, told how they felt and what their mood was. When the week was over, participants were asked to take stock of which day of the study they liked most and which day they liked least. It turned out that most people remembered Monday as the worst day of the study: 65% of volunteers said that Monday morning was the worst morning for them, and Monday evening was the worst for 35% of participants (it turned out that about Friday and Saturday many, on the contrary, had pleasant memories - 43% felt good on Friday morning and evening, and 45% felt good on Saturday). But at the same time, while the participants were surveyed every day, such a pattern was not observed - on Monday everyone felt completely differently, as on the other days of the week, and only in the memories of most of the volunteers it was remembered as a “bad day.”
In a world with a seven-day work week, according to researcher Richard M. Ryan of the University of Rochester, Monday is a social construct, much like gender stereotypes. At school we go through "War and Peace", where a childless and unmarried girl They call it a “barren flower,” and we get used to the fact that a woman’s purpose is to get married and have children. Same with Monday. Everyone around says that “Monday is a hard day,” and bars and restaurants are named after other, “entertainment” days - for example, T.G.I. Friday's. As a result, even those who have an irregular work week begin to perceive the weekend as a break, and Monday as a punishment.
Trying to answer the question of what is wrong with all the days of the week, we end up coming to another question - what is wrong with us? Over the years, we are getting rid of stereotypes about the people around us, progressive humanity no longer tells women that the “biological clock is ticking,” and gays are no longer subjected to forced psychiatric treatment. But the perception of the days of the week remained at the level of Henry Ford's times. Although many people hold work meetings on weekends and allow themselves to sleep longer on Monday, people still repeat that “Wednesday is a little Friday”, “Monday is a hard day”, “Friday is a slut” and many more platitudes that get in the way concentrate on work and make all weeks the same, exactly like in school times when we measured our lives according to a diary and there was no Sunday in it.

Why is Monday called a hard day? Many psychologists explain this by saying that it is simply difficult for a person to adjust from a carefree weekend to the start of a new work week. By the way, the same psychologists assure that if you have a favorite job that you go to with pleasure, then Monday is no different from other days of the week.
Why is Monday called that way? Here psychologists will no longer help; you need to turn to linguists. It turns out that our ancestors called Sunday a “week”. That is, a day when you can do nothing. And the word “Monday” means “after the week.”
The famous football player Michael Kojo Essien, who played for clubs such as Chelsea, Real Madrid and Milan, was born in the African state of Ghana. And he was born on Monday.

Therefore, he received the name Kofi (Friday).
