Sunday Night
What is the hardest day of the week?
I think it is Sunday night.
Internal, clients, vendors, partners … everyone emails on Sunday night. Right at about 5pm or so, the emails, txts, vmails everything just erupts. It is as regular as Yellowstone’s Old Faithful.
Sunday night sets the course for the week. If you fall behind on Sunday night, the rest of the week is F’ed. It is the time when important emails are sent. It is also the time when pointless FYI emails are sent.
There has actually been research done stating that its the most stressful day of the week. One UK study done in 2009 suggests that the most stressful day is Tuesday at 11:45am. Hardly.
In my opinion, a successful week begins with a productive Sunday night.
