It goes without saying that we change the chorus to ‘Marvellous Monday’ – it’s a bit of a syllable squeeze but we’re used to fitting pearls of wisdom into 140 characters so we manage. Obviously.

#ManicureMonday is sadly a bit of a ‘look but don’t touch’ occasion for us. Have you tried being a social media guru with 10cm nails? The cacophony of typing that comes with false nails is enough to force Managing Director Emma to throw a precious can of Pepsi Max all over the culprit. Jokes.

Before we know it it’s Tuesday, and #TransformationTuesday is a sight to behold in the 24 fingers office. I’ll give you three songs from our Inspirational Playlist…

1. Circle of Life – Elton John, obviously. An excellent warm up for a day of conjuring magic from our fingertips.
2. Gonna Fly Now – Rocky. Need we say more? After a rousing chorus of this, we’re ready for anything.
3. Survivor – Eye of the Tiger. Because anybody who doesn’t feel they can run a marathon after listening to this probably doesn’t have ears.

Thank goodness the internet exists to help us climb over #HumpDay on a Wednesday, with over three million Instagram images tagged. One of our personal favourites is ‘If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door’. Damn right.

#WednesdayWisdom is a motivator, too. Sometimes we wonder whether the internet would have broken had it been around in Winston Churchill’s heyday – nothing we have seen online yet comes near to his ‘We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give’. Here at 24 fingers HQ, that’s our modus operandi.

One day closer to Friday, online woes are forgotten to make way for #ThirstyThursday and the like. Clocking 384 million posts on the platform for #tbt is no mean feat either. Sport, fashion, age, songs – you name it, somebody is remembering it on a Thursday. 

Friday, Friday, Friday…. Enough said. #FridayReads is a favourite in this office. Not quite as popular as #tbt, with 17,417 posts at time of writing, but still up there. It is reassuring to see some people still buying those things called books – anything longer than 140 characters had better be reaaallllyyy good. The most amusing thing to come of #FridayReads has to be #bookfacefriday. Whoever came up with that hashtag deserves a biscuit.

Come Saturday, you’d think we might be tired of all of this viral nonsense. But how could anybody tire of #Caturday? It’s one of the highlights of our week. Nobody quite knows how cats came to have such a presence online – but we’re not complaining. 

Now Craig David would recommend we chill on Sunday. But roll on #SundayFunday we say…we expect this hashtag to go through the roof as that round yellow thing brings us office dwellers out of our not-so-little cave.  

So, there you have it. A beginner’s guide to navigating the complex web of filters that’s called hashtags. If you’re not planning your next week of uploads by now, give us a call. Any day of the week is good for us.
