What Is The Best Day To Take One Day Off From Work?

You want to take a day off from work just for the heck of it. The day off could be use to complete errands, help a friend, clean the house or apartment, take a one day trip somewhere, and/or just sleep-in.

What is the best day to take one day off from work for the heck of it? Friday. Most people say Friday since Saturday is the day after. I think the best day is Monday. Why? Two reasons.

The first reason is when you return back to work on Tuesday, it's a four day work week and closer to the weekend. It's psychological ;-)

The second reason is the true three day weekend is actually Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. With Monday as the day off, the day Sunday, the second weekend day is extended longer. No need to worry about preparing for Monday's workday on a Sunday. The Sunday is another Saturday. Stay out longer, sleep later, and do more activities. You wake up late Monday morning on day off Monday.

Give it a try. Try taking Monday off instead of taking Friday off. For those who take Friday off as the travel day for a trip, try leaving late Friday night when there is less traffic, spend Saturday and Sunday at your destination, and leave on Monday to go home.
