Wednesday. Hump Day. The part of the week when we’re over the hill and begin sliding toward the weekend. If hitting midweek feels even a little bit better than slogging through Monday or Tuesday does, well, you’re not alone. According to the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, the worst day of the week goes to Tuesday—but just barely. It turns out that all the weekdays are rated about equally badly compared with the weekend.
But there’s one way that Wednesdays may not actually have an edge over the weekday many of us have uniquely learned to dread: Monday. While it may launch us back into the workweek, Mondays represent a fresh start. And as it turns out, there are subtle clues in our Monday behaviors hinting that our brains our better primed to make decisions then than they usually are. Here’s how to tap into that power anytime you need it.
