Do days have similarities....or why is it there is Monday this week and a monday next week etc?

Question

So Mondays keep repeating. Does it mean Days have a cycle of repetition? LIke ...each year there is seasons...so it makes sense to have months that happen each year. But days that happen each week....what is the connection?

Is there anything this Monday that is the same in next week's monday?

Or was the idea of "Week" just an invention sculpted in order to make work organized?

Answer 1

The week was invented to give us a day off periodically. So work got scheduled around that. Now that we normally have two days off a week, even more work is scheduled around getting it done by Friday. Then on Monday you face all the things you didn't get done by Friday.

I used to tell my bosses the only person who could get everything done by Friday was Robinson Caruso.

Take heart; it eases up considerably when you retire. Then you can plan your week around the day when there's no mail (Sunday) or the day the trash is picked up, or anything you like.
