I consider Monday the start of my week, so I like to make sure my Calendars are setup properly.

If you want to start your week on Monday in your digital calendar app on a Mac, here are 4 apps you can do that in and how to update the start of week from Sunday to Monday.

Click the Spark in the menu bar
Click Preferences
