Is Sunday the First Day of the Week?

Camille thinks Sunday is the last day of the week and that Monday starts the week. I think Saturday is the last day and Sunday is the first. So which is it? More importantly, how does that affect how what we seek to accomplish in our days?

I like to see Sunday as the start of the week so it can be a reset, a time to reflect on the past week and plan the upcoming week. Without proper planning, Monday (and the rest of the week after it) might be a disaster. I’m not sure this would have the same urgency if Monday was the end of the week.

On the other hand, having 2 days at the end of the week means 2 days of productivity before the week ends. This means you don’t have to cram your entire weekend fun into Saturday, but it can actually carry over to Sunday. Then you can rest on Sunday, looking back at a good week and forward to a brand new one.

Both of these are right and useful at different moments. What matters is what’s more resourceful this week.
