On Monday vs On Mondays

[ratóncolorao]

Hello,

Once the speaker has established a context in which is clear that he/she is talking about a habit, can we say?:

On Monday I usually get up at eight o’clock whilst on Tuesday I usually get up at nine o’clock.

Meaning every Monday and every Tuesday.

I want to avoid using: on Mondays and on Tuesdays, which, certainly, would be much clearer that we are making references to every Monday and every Tuesday.

Thank you

As you accept that 'on Mondays/Tuesdays' is much clearer, why are you trying to avoid saying this? Why do you want to say something that could be less clear?

"Mondays, I usually..." is another possibility.
