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?

Yes, I always work during the weekends.

@xgeng666 Do you give any breaks?

@gizemnurkeskin I mean usually, I spend half days for work. It depends on work load, maybe 1 full day. Rest of time, you can take a rest or stay with family.

@gizemnurkeskin I used to work in startup which is pretty busy. We have to work harder to compete with others.

@xgeng666 I know the struggle but wouldn't you say the startup world is really exciting?! I am in the same shoes right now!

@gizemnurkeskin Yes, I really enjoyed the startup working environment and pace. Think about that you have a chance to build something new from scratch based on your experience. If you work in a big company, you many only focus on very small spot. I prefer the startup. Don't think about it's struggle, think about it's a chance to build something new, to improve yourself. I used to work in Zoom as an earlier employee, right now it's Visla. Love this.

Some Sunday afternoons I do. Not to work on an active task, but to research about an upcoming feature 👨🏻‍💻

@kartal_erkoc1 Getting ready for the week is something I also do on Sunday afternoons!

My friend @imanmoaz seems to be working on the weekends, but it's pretty normal for founders I guess

@dan_yes lol! I think work-life balance for founders (at least first-time founder who don't have much cash to hire a big team) doesn't make sense! If you really want to have that, it is better not to start a company and get a 9-5 job (just my personal opinion).
Gizem Nur Keskin
@dan_yes @imanmoaz that’s the founders’ faith! You have to work hard to reach your goals. At least, for some time!

It happens, as much as I'd love to spend more time with family at the weekends when something pops up I need to take care of it at the moment and can't wait till the next working day. I like to keep busy, to be honest.
Gizem Nur Keskin
@testifi At least you try to find the balance!

100% - I do! But it’s a key part of my work-life balance. It allows me flexibility through the work week to be present for activities and drop offs / pick ups for my children. Juggling work plus 3 small boys means some weekend work is a great trade off for late starts / early finishes during the week 👍

@liz_obee since you made it work for yourself, I believe, it is great!!!

Yes, but only when I feel interested in the task or aspired by the potential outcome of this work.
Gizem Nur Keskin
@dan_yes If work excites you, then it's great!!
