Applescript, preform certain action on a certain day

I'm not sure if this is possible, but is there a way to have a script run to check the day and if its monday copy, for example, cell A1, and if its tuesday copy cell B2, so on and so forth.

Create an 'on idle' script that runs every 24 hours. Save this script as a 'stay open' application.

on idle

    -- Set variable d to the current date
    set {weekday:d} to (current date)

    -- Check if current date is equal to monday
    if d is equal to "mon" then
        -- Do your actions here
    end if

    -- Run this script every 86400 seconds (one day)
    return 86400

end idle

Yes, there is a way, but it is a two-step process. Once you have an AppleScript that works the way you like, you design a Launch Daemon that fires every Monday, and it will run the script.
