I do keep up with a writing journal, nothing spectacular, just mundane day to day stuff. I have some days of the week stamps I use in it, but don't like any of them. So, I carved my own.
The size was determined by the erasers I had on hand. I lettered the days, outlined them with pencil, and transferred the reverse image to the eraser and carved. There are plenty of how-to videos out there if you are interested in carving stamps.
Mine aren't perfect by any means. I can see now the wobbly sides and all the imperfections. But if the words bother me when I look at them on the page, I can always doodle around them (like I did on the "Fri"). All the wobbly lines magically disappear!
Have a good week, all seven days' worth!
