I've always gotten a mixed review around working on weekends. Some prefer it to be a no work zone so they can start the work day week fresh but others like to mix it up.
What do you do?
Hi Richard! It's important to start a fresh day.
I have a routine every morning, including weekends.
It's a simple routine in my case of washing my face, brushing my teeth, changing clothes, checking my Profit&Loss, and logging to the makers community.
For my day job, I never work on weekends. If I’m not the one running the company, I can’t justify spending my spare time on it no matter how much I like my employers. For my side projects and my own companies, though, I absolutely work weekends. But even then, I try to keep it to just a few hours each weekend.
According to Cal Newports books, you really shouldn't work on the weekends as your brain needs to recuperate and recharge. However, when running a startup I personally have a lingering anxiety that I'm not doing what matters and I struggle to enjoy or concentrate on other things.
Report
As a side project entrepreneur, the weekends are necessary for building products. Still, I find it easier to get the momentum during regular workdays.
Report
I work only on Saturdays, the reason is that it enables me to conclude all the work of the week and submit the report to my boss.
Report
I like doing side projects on the weekends. Especially with being stuck home from the pandemic, building something helps stave off the boredom.
