Hm. At least two topics for this problem, and no solution after two months?..
Donât forget to vote at the top of the thread 
Despite the âSet Default Viewâ option, which seems unreliable as an organization-wide setting, we constantly have to press the âShow Weekendsâ button.
There should be an option to always show weekends, organization-wide. Weâre a small startup of co-owners and we work everyday. Why not make it easy for us, instead of harder?
Also, please allow us to always set the start of the week to Monday. We live in Europe, and we truly donât believe that the week starts on Sunday. This should be possible both for the Calendars, and the Due Date Selection tools.
Thank you.

Is there no way to make EVERY calendar ALWAYS show the weekends? We are a community organization that ONLY does stuff on weekends, making the calendars by default frustratingly ineffective.

Youâre in luck @Zr234Ad ! If you want the Calendar to always show weekends, save the Calendar View with weekends showing as your default view. Take a look at this Guide article on calendar view for more info.

Also European company here - the Sunday week start is confusing.

It might be added that:
According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week. It is followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday is the 7th and final day.

Is there any update in this? The first thing I searched is how to start the week on Monday. The only available view is very confusing for the rest of the world⊠
Hey guys, instead of +1 please vote next to the title of this topic at the beginning of this page. As per me I would appreciate Monday as a first day of a week too. Thanks.

It is a shame that this is not a feature yet. The rest of the world uses Monday as the first day of week. This is basic. Come on Asana, this is a bit ridiculous. You have added emoticons and other stuff that is superfluous and this is a much needed organization setting.
I have requested this like 2 years ago.
Or is ASANA recommended only for US Americans?

As a developer I can tell you that people usually under-estimate the cost of a feature. Emoji might have been super easy to do and was a great marketing opportunity to communicate about the app.
Anyway, I think the voting feature here is used to get your voice heard and the Product Team will take it into account.

there are actually number of things to adjust here:
- which day of the week is in the first column as the first working day in calendar view of tasks
- which weekday is in the first column in the small day-chooser calendar when setting due date
- which days are grayed-out
- show weekends should always appear as 6th and 7th column
i find it super-confusing to have a non-working day as the first culumn, regardless if itâs monday or sunday.
i voted for a fix on top.
thank you for a great product!!

Hey Alexis!
Either my view is different or this article is outdated. I am unable to make the Calendar my default view which means I canât get my project to open the Calendar view by default and I canât show the weekends by default either.
While in the calendar of a project, there is no âviewâ option to save it for everyoneâs viewing. Is this a bug or has this feature been removed?
Hi there! It is not possible to save calendar view as the default view for everyone in a project. When youâre in the list view of a project, however, you should be able to save a default view for everyone.
Bump for option to change first day of the week!

Greetings from Russia. We need to set Monday as first day of the week in popup, when you choose date.
Hope we get this feature as soon as possible!

Iâm chiming in to request that feature as well.
While I know that this might require extensive updates to the structure of the calendar, this is an important feature, especially for users outside of the U.S.
I still love Asana, but most other project management tools have this functionality. Itâs a no-brainer, really.
For our weblog, we separate tasks into âweekday tasksâ and âweekend tasksâ. To see the weekend tasks being split between weeks is weird and unfamiliar to European eyes.
PS: Iâll never get why itâs called weekend when the week supposedly starts on Sunday.
