Intellectually, Sunday.
Instinctively, Monday.

Monday is the first day of the week according to the international standard ISO 8601, but in the US, Canada, and Japan it's counted as the second day of the week.

Depends on the context.
Personal week: Sunday
Work week: Monday
Which is why I didn't check either day in the poll.

I've always considered Monday the start of the week. Sunday is a part of the weekend.

I have my own business. I often work on Saturday. I often go out of town on Sunday for family business. Monday is my only day off. My new week starts on Monday.

I read this about "The days of the week in Portuguese".
Although the ancient Latin refers to the days of the week to the Moon and pagan Gods, Portugal adopted a different way to name the days of the week. This doesn't mean, however, that the Portuguese culture doesn't have a strong religious influence.
Probably due to the Portuguese strong genetic nature to be different and original, they adopted to refer to the days of the week to a numbered market of fair days, except for the days of the weekend - sábado and domingo.
So the days of the week in Portuguese are:
Segunda-feira (Monday), Terça-feira (Tuesday), Quarta-feira (Wednesday), Quinta-feira (Thursday), Sexta-feira (Friday), Sábado (Saturday), Domingo (Sunday).
So, as we can see, Segunda-feira means "second fair", Terça-feira "third fair", Quarta-feira "fourth fair", and so on.
OK, now you might wondering... Why is Monday the second fair and not the first?
That's because the first day is "God's day" - Domingo - from the Latin "domini", or God's day.
So, under the Portuguese culture, the first day of the week should be given to God as the Creator of the universe.

It SHOULD be Monday.
Whose brain-dead and idiotic decision was it to put Sunday at the left end on the calendar anyway?

My planner says Sunday. As do most calendars in the US, so I just follow the norm.

A week is a social construct. If we call Saturday and Sunday the weekend the next day (Monday) starts weeks anew.

Believe it or not, officially its Sunday. But as far as I'm concerned, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees, its Monday! Its also where my headaches, stress, and depression starts. Re-starts.

Monday. It’s the furthest working day from the weekend, therefore the shittest day of the week.
