The Best Day to Hold a Meeting (hint: it’s not Monday or Friday)

28 Aug 2025

We’ve all been there: Mondays feel heavy. Your inbox is overflowing, your brain is still half in weekend mode. And Fridays? Everyone’s already sliding into after-work drinks or thinking about their weekend plans. In short: not the best days to run a productive meeting.

Why not on Monday?

  • Start-up stress: people are busy catching up on emails and planning the week.
  • Low focus: a meeting feels too early and overwhelming.
  • Result: you often leave with loose ideas instead of clear decisions.

Why not on Friday?

  • Weekend mode: energy and concentration are fading.
  • Absent participants: more colleagues work from home or mentally check out.
  • Result: a friendly but not-so-effective session.

So… what’s the best day to meet?

Research and experience show: Tuesday and Wednesday are prime meeting days.

  • You’re past the Monday chaos.

  • The weekend is still far away, so focus is high.

  • Most team members are present and sharp.

And yes, we might be a little biased 😉, but there’s a reason we’re called Meet Tuesday. Tuesday is the perfect day to gather, make decisions, and spark new ideas.

Tips for choosing the ideal meeting day

  1. Plan smart: midweek gives the best focus.

  2. Don't start too early: after 10 a.m. productivity peaks.

  3. Pick an inspiring location: a change of scenery fuels creativity.

  4. Take breaks: short pauses keep energy high.

  5. End with actions: make sure everyone knows what's next.

Mondays and Fridays are fun for weekend chats and after-work drinks. But for meetings? Leave it to Tuesday. At Meet Tuesday, you’ll find the energy, inspiration, and views to give your week a real boost.
