Be honest! Do you work on the weekends?

Even though I am aware of the importance of the work-life balance, I sometimes find myself working on the weekends as well. Do you do it too or is it just me?

Think about what I need to do - yes, pretty much throughout the weekend. Do I actually do it? Well, I feel like I stress about it more than actually take action.

@anish_banerji Same actually!

I try to limit how much I work on the weekends, but sometimes you have to make hay when the sun shines. I’d say I average at least 4 hours a weekend, but sometimes it’s all work and sometimes it’s none

@arthurakay It definitely depends on the workload!

I do work on weekends. I don't think it is an issue for work-life balance. What you do on the weekend won't have to be done during the week, so if the weather is terrible for the weekend better cut your loses by working.

@fabian_maume I’d like to lay in bed if the weather is terrible, but okay 😅

Yes but few hours. When "work" is your purpose or mission then it is much easier and even funnier than if you need to work for making a living during the weekend.

@maximerepliq I agree!

Most weekends, I try to be completely offline - even from social media. However, there are stretches of time when prepping for big initiatives where I find it actually helps my work/life balance throughout the work week to take care of busy work/ ops on Sundays. But Saturdays are always 100% off-limits for me when it comes to working.

@tori_lazar1 It's nice to hear that you have your limits when it comes to working on the weekends!

I try to rest on the weekend. A lot of the work comes from not working because our minds can make unique subconscious connections when we aren't focused. But somedays, I work a bit on Saturday, but never at 100%,

@jas801 I agree! You need to refuel your mind and body by resting!

I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely must i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and without a doubt, you’ve got hit the nail within the head. Your thought is outstanding; the thing is something which inadequate persons are speaking intelligently about. I will be very happy i always stumbled across this during my find something about it. transportation from atlanta airport to alpharetta

@gizemnurkeskin it's definitely not just you :) For instance, I do work on multiple startup projects at the moment, also trying to study at the same time, thus, physically do not find it possible to stay inactive during the weekend. Too many tasks. Not the healthiest approach to a trendy so-called work-life balance, but as long as the process is enjoyed I guess it's fine to spend some weekend time working or at least planning for the upcoming week.

I find it hard to completely detach myself from the "work life", even when I'm not physically in a work setting. And I think this could be good and/or bad depending on how you see your work, like if it's a passion of yours or if you just see it as a 9-5.
