About the week
The seven-day week originated in ancient Babylon and was later adopted by the Romans. It may relate to the seven celestial bodies visible to the naked eye.
In everyday use the week appears in work schedules, school timetables, pregnancy tracking, and sprint planning. As a point of reference: the average full-time employee works about 40 hours per week.
