Whereas in fact, it's not just Kramer, it's all of us. I think we almost all have some sense of what a Tuesday feels like or what a Wednesday feels like. And it's mysterious, but my sense is that if you dig deep into it, it has to do with schedules and expectations of things. And the week as a scheduling device is what gives it that feeling.

Yeah, so when I began thinking about this, that was the only explanation that people could give. They would cite that example, which is, oh, on a four-day work week, you know, suddenly Tuesday feels like a Monday. Right. Or you take a vacation and suddenly your Friday feels like a Saturday, et cetera. So it all had to do with the work and rest cycle.

But sometimes when there wasn't the holiday, you still felt like today doesn't feel like a Wednesday. And you didn't quite know why. And so I think that what was really helpful for me in thinking about the week was to stop assuming that everything that the week does is generated by this cycle of work and rest.

Cycle work and rest is hugely important, but then there are these other things, typically like things about Tuesdays and Wednesdays that give it a feel that are not simply about how long we've worked since the last day we had off.

Partly why it would be really different is because if you didn't have the week, you probably would come up with units of time that are fractions of a month or fractions of a year. And because the week isn't, it kind of just stands alone. And so does this completely different kind of work for us?

One thing, Mike, that you mentioned that I think is interesting is that we don't only use the week to divide one day from another. We also use it to lump all the days together. Like I'm going to do this for a week or I'm going to look back on the week that I had. So we use it as a lumper as well as a splitter. So really, it does so many things in our mental map of the passing of time.

Right.

Right.
