Thursday is just a regular day.

Friday is the widely acknowledged slow day. No releases are allowed to Production (unless the world is on fire), so much less chance of a support fire over the weekend.

I try to keep Friday afternoons for thinking/dreaming about the future, reading what other people have done, release notes for frameworks in our stack, thinking about improvements we can make etc.

Mornings, regardless of the day, I tend to prioritise reading peer reviews that others have opened (and no-one else merged/closed yet).
