Are you getting confused seeing your weekly schedule is full of letters? Avoid confusions with these two types of days of the week abbreviations: long abbreviations and letter abbreviations.

You will more likely use long abbreviations on a weekly schedule or template and short abbreviations where there is a shortage of time or space. 

Note: Long abbreviation is also used as short form for days of the week.
