Typically, people who work a traditional Monday-to-Friday job will tell you that Monday is their most productive day at the office, despite the constant complaint of feeling the Monday blues. Mondays allow for plenty of time to plan out projects and organize time for the upcoming week. At the start of the week, it seems like anything is possible and the week ahead will offer plenty of time to get things done.
On the flip side, people often claim Friday is their favorite day of the week. After four long days of work, it’s exciting to think about beginning the long-awaited weekend. But this typically means that Friday is also a person’s least productive day.

There are a lot of ways you can turn Friday from a burnt-out, weekend waiting game to a high-speed, productive work day in just a few simple steps:
Friday is only as productive as you make it. You have control over your mindset for the most favored day of the week, so make it a positive one. Keep on trucking through the piles of paperwork on your desk and remember that Friday can be your most productive day yet.
