Do you find yourself constantly juggling between work, personal, and social commitments? Having a well-organized calendar is key, and as part of that organization you may prefer that the first day of your week in Google Calendar is set to a specific day. By default, Google Calendar sets the first day of the week to Sunday, but you have the option to change it to also be Saturday or Monday. In this video I'll show you how to change the first day of the week in both the Google Calendar mobile and desktop apps.

First let's walk through the steps to change the first day of the week in the Google Calendar mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Step 1. Open the Google Calendar app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device. You'll land on your Google Calendar home screen.

Step 2. Tap the "Menu" icon at the top of the screen. A menu opens.

Step 3. Tap "Settings" in the list of options. The Settings screen is displayed.

Step 4. Tap "General" in this menu. The General screen is shown.

Step 5. Tap "Start of the Week" in this list. A menu opens where you'll see options for setting the start of the week to be either Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Step 6. Tap the day you want to be your first day of the week in Google Calendar. In this example, I'll choose Monday. You'll be routed back to the General screen, where you can see your new first day of the week is set. Your change will be effective immediately.

Next let's walk through the steps to change the first day of the week in the Google Calendar web application.

Step 1. Open a web browser, navigate to Workspace.Google.com/Products/Calendar, and then log into your Google account if prompted. You'll land on your Google Calendar home screen.

Step 2. Click the "Settings" icon at the top of this screen to open a menu, and then click "Settings." The Settings screen is displayed.

Step 3. Click "View Options" in the menu on the left side of the screen. The corresponding menu will be shown on the right side of the screen.

Step 4. Find the View Options section on the right side of the screen, and then click "Start Week On" in that section to open a drop-down menu. A menu opens where you'll see options for setting the start of the week to be either Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Step 5. Click the day you want to be your first day of the week in Google Calendar. In this example, I'll choose Monday. Your change will be effective immediately, and now when you navigate back to your Google Calendar, you'll see your newly selected date as the first day of the week.
