			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="Calendar" src="http://www.amid.com/images/calendar.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="270" align="right" />Research in the UK showed <a title="Tuesday Busy Day of the Week" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5113653/Tuesday-at-1145-is-most-stressful-time-of-the-week-survey-suggests.html" target="_blank">Tuesday is busiest day of the week</a>.  It&#8217;s not Monday as most people will admit.  People use Mondays to gear up (slowly) for the work week.</p>
<p>But for me, it&#8217;s actually Friday that&#8217;s the most busy.  Here, people are anticipating being busy on Monday.  Everyone tries to wrap up work, as much as they can before the weekend starts.   When Monday arrives, it will be less hectic and daunting.  I can actually look forward to work on Monday!</p>
<p>Moreover, the weekend is a sweet reward for a busy and stressful Friday.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a Get-Things-Done attitude, and perhaps a survival instinct in the corporate world.   I like this approach.  It&#8217;s very commendable and a worthwhile habit.</p>
<p>No more &#8220;I Hate Mondays&#8221;.   It&#8217;s common for people to dread coming into work on Monday.  It&#8217;s common to &#8220;call in sick&#8221; on Monday.</p>
<p>Getting things done on Friday is not the only way to beat the blue Mondays.  In this economy, with business trying to cut back on expenses, more people like the idea of a <a title="The Four-Day Workweek" href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1919162,00.html" target="_blank">4-day work week</a>.  It means less paycheck, but it gives more time to spend with the family, hobbies, etc.  I believe it&#8217;s going to promote a much tighter schedule during the week, with less time wasted on idle work.</p>
<p>So, are you busy on Tuesday?</p>
