Best day of the week to launch a project? My guess is its not Friday
All week plus the weekend I and my team have been aiming to launch our new project tomorrow (Friday). I decided Friday was going to be the day due to knowing we would have everything in place by then, however the more I think about it, the more I come to release that Friday has got to be the worst work day to launch a project.
Here’s why:
It’s Friday afternoon, the sun is shinning outside and you’ve worked hard all week… are you really going to write about a new site or are you going to get ready for a great weekend with the wife and kids?
Personally, I wind down about 5pm on a Friday. I may check out some blogs, read some news or start thinking about my Friday night out with the lads. I wonder how many others do the same? I’m not sure, but I’m not going to risk putting a lot of work into launching the project on a Friday when my gut feeling tell me most people are more work proactive on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Therefore, we’ll are going to launch the new project on Tuesday 
What day of the week do you think is best to launch a project?
Without a doubt Friday is the WORST possible day to launch anything.
Let’s say the launch goes well but there’s a significant bug in your site. It’s going to take you until Monday to even notice it.
Launch projects first thing Monday and have your team refreshed and ready to fix the inevitable problems as they’re noticed.
Good luck.

I’d say Monday too. Everyone will be fresh.
Thanks for the comments guys. My gut feeling is that Tuesday will be better, just in case some people have the Monday blues
