Every day when
Hello, there. How are you. I have a question about usage of where and ,where. So I would like you to tell me which one is natural to native English speakers and whether meaning of the two is the same or not.
You can develop a sincere positive motivation, every day when you get up.

In my non native English sense and from what I have learned, usage of ",where and where" is different and I think in the sentences, where with a comma is more correct because there is no more "every day", so we do not need to define the date. Am I right? Or is there more than I know?
Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am still the one who asked the question and I have found "Every Monday, when Marge gets out of work, she goes to a special place". So I came to a conclusion that "every day when" is fine, but "every Monday ,when" is fine. What do you think?

Hello, Anonymous:
You say that you found "Every Monday, when Marge gets out of work, she goes to a special place."
Nowadays in American English, many people use commas only when "necessary."
IMHO, most writers would not put a comma after "Every Monday" because it is so short (only two words).
Did you notice that I put a comma after "Nowadays in American E
