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, 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
