I'm learning the days of the week and have seen them as 月曜日 and 月曜, but have
also seen that they are sometimes just written as the first character (e.g.
月). Are there different instances when each are used? Or is there one way
that's most common?

For example, when writing school work, when texting friends or coworkers etc.

words
Is it common to use 曜日 when writing the days of the week?
In the midst of a sentence, you would mostly use 月曜日, or maybe 月曜 particularly
in less formal contexts.

The main time you would see just the first character (e.g. 月) is in things
calendars and opening hours, the same way you might see "Mon/Tue/Wed" written
in English, where it is suitable to use an abbreviation and the context is
absolutely clear that it is referring to a day of the week. You would almost
never use it in spoken Japanese or in other written contexts.
