(updated) - First you need to find the current day of the week using php function date() this way:

$today= date('L');

Then we need to define the days for first email action and for 2nd email action storing this days in an array:

$days1 = array( 'monday', 'tuesday', 'Wednesday' );
$days2 = array( 'thursday', 'friday', 'saturday' );

Now we need to compare the current day $today with $days1 and **$days**2 to make an action:

if ( in_array( $today, $days1 ) ) {
    // do something
} else if {
    // do something else
} else {
    exit; // do nothing
}

Now, for example, we can use the hook of this answer to your question combining the previous with it, this way:

add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'order_completed' )
function order_completed( $order_id ) {
    $today= date('L');
    $days1 = array( 'monday', 'tuesday', 'Wednesday' );
    $days2 = array( 'thursday', 'friday', 'saturday' ); 
    $user_email = $current_user->user_email;
    $to = sanitize_email( $user_email );
    $headers = 'From: Your Name <your@email.com>' . "\r\n";
    if ( in_array( $today, $days1 ) ) {
        wp_mail($to, 'subject', 'This is custom email 1', $headers );
    } elseif ( in_array( $today, $days2 ) ) {
        wp_mail($to, 'subject', 'This is custom email 2', $headers );
    } else {
        exit; // do nothing
    }
}

You can use on of this hooks too depending on your needs, and you can even combine them together:

add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_pending', 'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_failed',  'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_on-hold', 'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_processing', 'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_refunded', 'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_order_status_cancelled', 'my_custom_action');
add_action( 'woocommerce_payment_complete', 'my_custom_action' ); // Using this one
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'my_custom_action' ); // this could be convenient too
function my_custom_function($order_id) {
    // your code goes here
}

NOTE: All this code goes on function.php file of your active child theme or theme
