It's still the second day of the workweek. So if you get overwhelmed on a bluesy Monday, don't worry. You can start by following a proven task management system like the traditional 2x2 grid of the Eisenhower Matrix.
In 2020, named after a study's co-author, the Sung Diagram intends to add another variable in the matrix2, making it a Venn diagram. The variables are importance, urgency, and then fitness, indicating whether you are capable of the task. The diagram has seven outcomes - delegate now, do now, delegate next, do next, schedule, plan, and delete.
Aside from following a system, may these Tuesday quotes push you throughout the week. May your next Tuesday be more successful, and your Tuesday nights replenish.

So countries with romance languages have the following translation - Martedì for Italian, Mardi for French, and Martes for Spanish. Meanwhile, in East Asian countries, the word is associated with fire because the days are based on the Chinese philosophy called wuxing.
We also celebrate giving Tuesday every year on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving. Whether on that day or any other, for some, Tuesday is the day to consider the needs of others, explore community service and give back.
