Which Evenings Do You Love More? Friday or Sunday?

View Comments

My friend shared a great thought with me –

You should work for a company where you are more excited about Sunday evenings than Friday ones.

Very well said.

How about you? Which evenings do you love more? Friday or Sunday?

If you love Friday evenings more than the Sunday ones, then I think it’s a good time to introspect a little bit. Just ask following few questions to yourself. I think it will be a good exercise.

  • What is that about your work that you hate most on Sunday evenings?
  • Do you think you are not passionate enough about your work?
  • If you hate Sunday evenings, then is it that you need a change?
  • Or is it something that you can work upon to bring excitement in your current work?

Just discuss these question with yourself. I’m sure you will find some good conclusions.

On a side note, I guess many of you will not agree to this philosophy. You may argue that –

"We want balance between work and life. We don’t want to be a workaholic. And that’s why we need a break, and that’s why we love Fridays."

If you are thinking on the above lines, then you are misunderstanding the whole concept. If you read it carefully, you will notice that I asked – which evenings  do you love "more"?

I’m not saying you should not love Friday evenings. It’s just that, work for a company where you are passionate and excited about your job. I think you will start loving Sundays more than Friday ones, instead of hating them.

Have an excited week ahead!
