| writesonwater | Posted – 7/30/2007 3:08:48 PM | show profile It depends -- sometimes more than others, and sometimes that's dependent on how productive others are -- if I can't reach them, that slows me up, etc.! But if we eliminated Monday from the workweek, how much do you want to be Tuesday would be the new MOnday? |
| Righter | Posted – 7/30/2007 3:18:59 PM | show profile haha... For me my least productive day is Friday...but today, for example, I have been working quite a bit and at this point am just waiting for people to get back to me before I can keep making progress. It's funny because many of my friends who aren't involved in this industry and know that I work from home assume that I don't dread Mondays in the same way. Trust me, I still dread them! |
| eagleeye | Posted – 7/30/2007 6:08:16 PM | show profile | email poster I agree with Righter that Friday is the least productive day. On Mondays, I start out strong, especially setting up things for the week, then I fizzle out late in the day. |

| GrOoVaL!c!OuS | Posted – 7/30/2007 10:52:54 PM | show profile Monday is my most productive day by far. Next best productive day is Thursday because I want to get stuff finished before the end of the week, and I know that I won't want to do anything on Friday. |

| sue ellen mischke | Posted – 7/31/2007 5:54:25 PM | show profile I think my most productive day is Wednesday... maybe because by then all the people I need info from are finished putting out Monday's fires. Dunno. |
