Whats the most productive day of the week?
Here's an interesting article about a survey which tackles what is the most productive day of the week. Enjoy.
Survey of bosses says Tuesday most productive day
You usually get over the back-to-the-office hump Monday, sort through e-mails, sit through meetings.
Tuesday is the day you really get down to work.
At least that's how it goes in many offices, from the head honchos' viewpoint.
Tuesday is by far the most productive workday, according to a recent survey of bosses by Accountemps, a temporary accounting and finance staffing company. Of 150 senior executives who were polled, 57 percent said employees were busiest on Tuesdays.
"Monday is a get-organized day," said Harrison Perrine, chief executive officer of Perrine Investments in Norfolk, who agreed with the survey's results. "Tuesday, they come to work with the idea of exactly how the day is going to be laid out."
Lindo Gharib, regional manager of Accountemps' eastern and southern Virginia offices, said Monday is often a day for workers to catch up from the weekend or attend
meetings. "On Tuesday, they are a lot more focused on what they need to accomplish and they hit their peak performance," said Gharib, who is based in Richmond.
Jon Martin of Virginia Beach, who works in the purchasing department at Stihl Inc., said he's also at his best that day: "On Tuesday, I get revved up for the week."
The latest results mirror Accountemps' last survey on productivity, in 2002. Despite the post-weekend blahs, Mondays remain second for effectiveness, though they're losing whatever their punch they once had. Twelve percent of CEOs said it was the day their employees worked hardest, compared with 26 percent in 2002.

Direct mail people will tell you that Tuesday is the best day for mail to land. It's the lightest mail day, as most mail takes two days in this country.
For the job-hunter, mail your resume so it lands on Tuesday (meaning Saturday, in most cases). Apply online on Tuesdays. Your best chance of reaching someone for a networking contact or resume follow-up call is before 8AM or after 5PM on Tuesday.
Too many unemployed job-hunters wake up anxious and depressed on Monday morning, so they start calling people or answering ads online Monday morning, when the people they are trying to contact are flooded. Do some research on Monday morning, and reach out to people in the afternoon or on Tuesday.
