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?

As a startup we don't have chance to make breaks :)

Do you even separate weekends from weekdays when building your own product?
Richard Fang
@eugene_bochkov That's true! But not everyone on ProductHunt is working on their own product 😆

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. 😅

@singhanurag 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.

@singhanurag This is great! I hope when I hit fatherhood that I will always commit to this mantra :)

@singhanurag 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.

@eugenehp 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.
Richard Fang
@sanket_makhija 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.
Richard Fang
@jack_davis7 That's actually the best feeling 😊

@jack_davis7 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.
Richard Fang
@eivindhaa Yup! I think this is the case for me too
