💌 From the Editor’s Desk

Welcome back to Work In Progmess, where personality tests are made up and the points actually do matter.

Studies show Friday and Saturday usually top the charts as favorite days of the week. But we are not here for statistics. We are here to tell you what your favorite day reveals about your career, your energy, and your questionable life choices.

Think of this as your Weekly Horoscope, but with fewer constellations and more calendar invites.

​

WHAT YOUR FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK REVEALS ABOUT YOU

Monday: The Delusional Optimist​
You genuinely love fresh starts. Every Monday feels like New Year’s, which means every Tuesday feels like February 2nd. In your career, you are the champion of kickoffs but allergic to follow-through.

Horoscope says: this week you will buy a new planner and use it exclusively to doodle meeting rage comics.

Tuesday: The Momentum Enthusiast​
You like being in motion. Tuesday gives you groove energy without the pressure of a beginning. Unfortunately, no one else notices Tuesday exists. At work, you are consistent but occasionally forgettable.

Horoscope says: a colleague will mistake you for a Wednesday person, which will haunt you for years.

Wednesday: The Professional Survivor​
You live for the midpoint. Wednesday is proof you endured, and you want credit for it. You stabilize teams and carry others through the slump.

Horoscope says: you will schedule a fake “deep work block” this week that is actually just you hiding with snacks.

Thursday: The Anticipation Addict​
You love the almost-there vibe. You are the human embodiment of “just one more episode” on Netflix. In your career, you do well in sprints but secretly stretch out tasks to feel closer to the weekend.

Horoscope says: you will promise to “wrap it all up by Friday morning” and then mysteriously disappear for a dentist appointment.

Friday: The Freedom Chaser​
You thrive on celebration. Friday feels like winning the lottery, even when you have contributed nothing to the pot. At work, you are a closer... but only between 3 and 5 pm.

Horoscope says: this week you will accidentally forward a “TGIF” meme to your boss at 8:02 am, and somehow get promoted.

Saturday: The Normal Human​
You value rest, joy, and connection. You terrify your boss by proving you have a life. Your creativity peaks when you are not working.

Horoscope says: you will start a candle-making side hustle that earns more than your day job, forcing you to rethink everything.

Sunday: The Brunch Philosopher​
You see Sundays as sacred space... part reflection, part preparation, part Monday dread. In your career, you are the visionary with a journal full of ideas that may or may not leave the page.

Horoscope says: you will triple-book brunch this weekend and leave all three groups convinced you are a thought leader.

​

🪑 From The Editor’s Desk
Your favorite day is a mirror. It shows what you crave, what you celebrate, and what you are running from. If your favorite day is always outside your workweek, maybe that means it is time to design your career with a little more Saturday and a little less Monday dread.
​
Mini challenge: at the end of each day this week, jot down one line about what gave you energy and what drained you. Compare your favorite day to your least favorite. That gap? That is where the work is waiting.

​

📩Until Next Time…

Forward this to someone who insists Monday is their favorite day. Then watch them try to explain it with a straight face.

P.S. Plot twist: everyone’s actual favorite day is Tuesday… but only because Work In Progmess shows up in their inbox. Don’t believe us? Science says Tuesday is the most productive day of the week. Which is basically just a fancy way of saying: you’re procrastinating less because you’re reading this right now. Celebrate Tuesday properly with a Bitter End celebration of Taco Tuesday.
