I do work during weekends. But it's mostly retrospection and some planning. What about you? How do you spend your weekends wrt work? Would love to hear different perspectives.

I was always kind of against it, until I joined a bootcamp where Saturdays were always part of the schedule. And I have to say, I kind of enjoyed chilling in an empty office with my colleagues. Sunday is a no-go, though IMO

If I need extra income, it would be okay. But I tend to keep Sunday for rest time.

I usually try to work harder on weekdays and have a more relaxing weekend. But I think in the end it is all about balance. I can see myself working 4-8 hours on weekends in the right conditions (less stressing weekdays, interesting project, persona crunch time to finish a project, etc). Also, it varies a lot from person to person. We need to find the schedule that works for us and stick to it.
@robertomorais , true that. What works for you might not work for me. In the end, it has to be individual preference.

I'm not in favor of working on weekends. I believe weekends are an excellent time to recharge so that I can work more throughout the week.

For part-time earnings, I will definitely do it.

I like working on fun side projects like my newsletter on the weekends. It's a great time to think clearly. Here's what I'm working on: sunsetclub.substack.com
@thisismeihere , that's interesting! I have a few things in mind to start doing during the weekends as well. You just reminded me to get started with them. Haha, thanks! 😄

I am open to working for 4-8 hours on weekends, given the appropriate circumstances.
