Perception of time Monday-Friday

For example, I work 4 10 hour days M-Thurs.
It seems (to me at least) that Mondays go by really fast, before I know it, it's break, lunch, break, quitting time. Tuesday goes a bit slower Wednesday goes much slower and Thursday just crawls by at a snails pace.
Has anybody else experienced this? and what would be the cause?
Is there any way that anyone has figured to make time go faster at work? Ive noticed no difference in how I go about my workdays, but I cant figure out why days seem to go faster than the next.
Dumb thread, I know, but browsing the Shroomery at work only goes so far.

I think that's normal... When you come from your days off it's like you have your batteries charged, as the working days go by you don't have the opportunity to rest as much and you'll get more tired gradually

That's not a bad thought. IDK though, I feel fine Wednesdays and Thursdays, just when I look at the clock and expect to see 2:00 it'll say 12:45 or some shit, FUCK

That happens to me, but it doesn't have anything to do like yours. Mine is definitely related to how I feel, what I'm doing and the people I'm interacting with. If I feel sick and don't want to be there it drags. If I'm happy and chipper I don't really pay much attention to the clock and time usually seems faster. If I keep getting hung up on stuff it can sometimes appear slower. I mainly try not to pay attention to the time and focus only on my work with the reasoning that I'll be here for a long, long time, so there's no point in looking at the clock. It works sometimes.

Yeah this happens when you haven't got much to do, a few weeks ago I was promoting a shampoo brand in a major hypermarket, but I had nothing to offer to customers it was just about promoting and I had a screen in front of me with a clock and I'd look at it, afterwards it seemed as if it had passed an infinity and when I looked again it was like a minute after

Yeah definately.
Its how refreshed you feel I suppose. Monday you have had a break so its not as tedious to go back to work.
As the saying goes "variety is the spice of life".
TBH I can't 9-5 at all any more due to the repetativeness starving my soul - spent 3 years running my own business and now I live like a super hobo.

Luckily, I get my hours in 4 days.
Take today for example. It's almost lunch time, and today has just flown by thus far. and after a holiday weekend the Monday (or Tuesday) goes even faster.
I just wish there were a way to make your mind work like this all week.

Meth ?
Just kidding... its possible with meditation - our thoughts create our reality. It takes a lot of practice and discipline to do that though.

I experience the same thing but in a different order. I notice at work if I get my job took care of early then I run out of things to really do besides clean, the time will go by faster if I spend it by talking to other coworkers. When its a night when there is no coworkers I really talk to and my work is basically finished, time drags.
