So, if you want a new car, try to get one that was made on Tuesday, and if you need surgery, ditto on the day of the week:
In a new survey, 57 percent of executives said Tuesday is the most productive day of the week for employees. Monday was the second most popular answer, although it appears to be losing favor: Only 12 percent of respondents ranked Monday as most productive, compared to 26 percent in a 2002 survey.
Tuesday got more votes than all the other days combined, and it's not terribly surprising. On Mondays, we're still getting over the weekend. Wednesday is Hump Day -- "Thank God it's half over." By Thursday, we're already starting to feel the tug of the next weekend. Tuesday is the only day we totally at work mentally.
