Well, we all get infuriated by doing the same type of task every day at work. Believe me, or not, we all hate working. Especially, Mondays are considered to be the most hectic, lousy and tedious day of the week, on the other hand, Fridays is the happiest day of the working week. The research conducted by the psychologists from the Universities of Lincoln, York, and Hertfordshire to find out what people think about weekdays and how they feel.

They asked participants which words they most strongly associated with different days. Mondays prompt negative words like “boring”, “hectic” and “tired”, whereas Fridays produced positive words like “party”, “freedom” and “release”. Forty percents of participants were confused about what they feel during the middle of the week.

Dr David Ellis, lead researcher from the University of Lincoln, said, the seven-day weekly cycle is repeated for all of us from birth, and we believe these results in each day of the week acquiring its own character. Indeed, more than a third of participants reported that the current day felt like a different day, and most of those feelings were on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, reflecting the midweek dip in associations attached to different days. Our research implies that time cycles can shape cognition even when they are socially constructed. It is not about days, it is all about our mind that believes that Mondays are lousy and tedious and Fridays brings joy and happiness.
