Whether a matter of personal productivity or circumstance, which part of the week is best for your most personally productive work.
Please get into details of what makes you productive on those days — whether it is how meetings typically stack up or otherwise.

I'll go first: We have "no meeting Fridays" which are pretty great for a certain type of productivity, but it's also a way to ease into the weekend, so I don't try to make those the maximally productive days.
By Wednesday and Thursday, most key communication is behind me — as well as a lot of my "critical tasks" and I can usually get some good stuff done on more creative work those days.
I'm a 6 AM on Monday morning kind of guy. 5 or so hours of good work before new stuff gets put on my plate.
Sunday on a side project I really care about. Saturdays tend to be home chore days.
I will be the odd one but I will say - Monday ! It is the first office day of the week (we have a hybrid setting) , and you still have energy from the weekend.
Same here! I generally fill my free time with other activities than coding, so on Mondays I am so hyped to finally get it started again 🤩
Weekend. On other day of week, doing technical writing for myself and other clients. On weekends, work on projects.
Thursday. For no reason, except that it's almost the end of the week, it motivates me to work harder to finish the two three codes before the weekend. 🚀
Friday :)
All the same. I try to treat every day the same Mo - Sun including when waking up or going to bed. Is much easier for the body. I love every day and I am so happy and blessed to work as a developer. Thanks
not monday, nor friday

Productivity must cluster in the middle of the week. Monday is for gearing up and by Friday I'm exhausted. Used to be I moved mountains on Thursdays, but nowadays it's the meeting day. Should probably change that.
