Do you work on the weekends?

by•
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?

Do you even separate weekends from weekdays when building your own product?
That's true! But not everyone on ProductHunt is working on their own product 😆
What's a weekend? 😼
Haha it's just one whole week hey 😆
I dont know whether to laugh or cry that this is true.
Nearly 40 something founder with kids >> As such, weekends are entirely downtime with family + focus on kids, activities (music, sports clubs), weekly study catchups, movie nights etc. etc. 😅
The fact that you put your family on the first place is very honorable. I think also that weekends should be for focusing on other activities so you fill refresh, even some weekends there are times that need to log in for an hour. Keep up with the good work and I wish good health.
This is great! I hope when I hit fatherhood that I will always commit to this mantra :)
Family time is more important and critical. What is the point of becoming successful and then you cannot share the joy and happiness with them? Life is all about being together and growing more and more.
I do work on weekends, sometimes. I try to avoid it as much as I can, but on a few occasions my work bucket gets so full on the weekdays, that a few of the tasks spill over the weekend.
I usually write articles and read books over the weekend. Most of the productive work happens during the weekdays.
When I wasn't working on anything, this was exactly what I was doing 😊
I believe that mixing weekends with relaxation as well as completing some portion of work on the weekends is a sound choice.
Yeah that's what I am currently doing! Sports + a bit of work here and there
I do not mind working on the weekend because my work does not seem like actual work to me but is fun.
That's actually the best feeling 😊
For those who like their work to be fun are blessed indeed. :)
Hi Richard! As a side project entrepreneur, the weekends are necessary for building products. Still, I find it easier to get the momentum during regular workdays.
Yup! I think this is the case for me too
I try to do the creative & enjoyable tasks for my side projects on the weekends and the "not-so-sexy-tasks" in the evenings of my workdays. That way I can still get a lot of energy on weekends and keep them as stress-free as possible.
This is a balanced model, also there are some not-so-sexy tasks which can't wait until the weekend so I like to utilize the business hours of the work week to the max. 👌
Absolutely, In fact especially in Lockdown I kind of started hating weekends as communication with my contractors or clients would be completely off and thus making the project a lot slower but that said working few hours on weekend definitely doesn't hurt.
Agreed!
