Sundays

You know Sundays are usually a day off from/for most things. Most people are planning some of the most important things that need to get done for the upcoming week - at home - doing what they usually do on Sundays. Sometimes it's an extension of what they did on Saturday, or even a part of the whole plan for the weekend. Sometimes this plan involves being away from home.

But it's always true that there are a lot of places & businesses closed for a lot of the day. There's no mail. You get a lot fewer emails, so checking email takes no time at all. Fewer people are on Facebook, because well, there are fewer people on Facebook. Except for maybe an hour of the day. The "primetime" of the weekend? At least of Sunday. The evening provides the catch-up most people need.

A lot more websites don't publish any new content, compared with what most of them post all 6 other days of the week.

Of all of the worst 2-dozen hourly segments of TV broadcasting, probably more than half of them occur on Sundays. (4am to 5am 7 times is big too, but that's a different post.) Think about it. This is not to mention re-runs & infomercials, and even less important news!

City traffic is always the best on Sundays. Non-city traffic can be rough on Sundays because everyone who'd be driving around in the city during the week, they're all driving around somewhere else - on Sundays.

So for most of the year, Sundays are really the "least important" day (or better stated the most "laid back" day) of the week. And it should be. A ton of people commit several hours of their week for church.. A lot commit serious time to be with family or significant others.. on Sundays. There's a lot of golf tournaments having their final rounds, but golf's unique in that each week throughout 9 months of the year, it always peaks on Sundays.

So even when you might be loving your Sundays because of a lot of what I've just said, things change and now you may love Sundays for a different reason. Suddenly come late August or so, Sunday is now the "most important" day of the week. The day will now matter a whole lot more compared with other days of the week. OK wait..

The next 23 or so weeks is gonna kinda revolve around FOOTBALL. Yeah, when you're a big football fan, and routinely play fantasy football each year, the week changes a little bit! I love it.

Saturday is now the day that used to be Sunday.
