How Many Days Until Tuesday?

Tuesday is named after Tiw (or Tyr), the Norse god of war and combat, which is fitting because Tuesday is statistically the most productive day of the work week. Studies from Accountemps and other workplace research firms consistently rank it as the day when employees accomplish the most. If Monday is about getting back into the groove and Friday is about mentally checking out, Tuesday is the sweet spot where people are focused, caffeinated, and not yet tired of being at work.

Tuesday facts

In the US, Tuesday is Election Day (by law since 1845). It is the most popular day for job interviews according to recruiting data. New music albums traditionally dropped on Tuesdays until 2015, when the industry switched to Fridays globally. Movie studios used to release DVDs on Tuesdays (now it is streaming, so the day hardly matters). In many Spanish-speaking cultures, Tuesday the 13th (not Friday) is considered unlucky, captured in the saying "En martes, ni te cases ni te embarques" (On Tuesday, don't marry or set sail).
