A new study that tracked key words in tweets indicates that people are angriest on Thursdays. Researchers from Northeastern and Harvard ran tweets from the last three years against a word list to plot the country’s happiness and angriest times throughout the week.
So why would people be angry on Thursdays? Here are some of my guesses. On Mondays people are still feeling okay because of just having the weekend off. By Wednesday they realize the week is already half gone. On Friday they know they are almost home free. But on Thursday they are just ticked off to have to be at work.
Okay – the underlying premise is that people don’t like the idea of working at all. Who are these people who are still trudging off to work each day that they hate? Why haven’t they joined the ranks of those of us who have found – or created – work that is meaningful, fulfilling, purposeful and profitable?
Oh and apparently I should have called my last book No More Thursdays.
So what are you doing to make Thursdays a great day?
