Monday is the correct first day of the week

How did we decide otherwise?

Optimizing for the future #

When you look at your calendar, what % of the time are you looking forward at events yet to come, and what % of the time are you looking back at events in the past? It’s pretty rare that I’m interested in past calendar events.

So I’m switching. Actually, I switched a few months ago.

A screenshot of a calendar with Monday being the first day of the week. There are some events on the calendar during the week, all titled "busy", and an event coming up on Sunday at 1pm called "Doing something awesome"

I mentioned this to Taylor Smith, to which he replied:

  1. I totally get it
  2. It’s objectively better
  3. HEINOUS.

Which is fair. 😅

I’m still getting used to it. It’s just wild that we’ve all settled for only seeing half of the upcoming weekend on our calendar. NO MORE!
