Do you work on weekends?
by•
For me, I finish the tasks I didn’t complete during the week, then try to get ahead on a few things.
And I always finish my weekend by preparing my tasks for the next week.
I know some founders completely disconnect on weekends, but I’ve never really managed to do that 😅
What about you? Do you work on weekends or completely switch off?

Usually yes – there are some things that I do not want to have accumulated (e.g. customer support). And when I want to work on something I just work on it :D
@busmark_w_nika what's your plan for this weekend? :D
@amraniyasser I will be preparing content for clients, preparing my weekly newsletter and will touch grass! :D
@busmark_w_nika productive weekend 🫡😁🌿🪴
@amraniyasser Not that much as I wished to have it. Still some ongoing issues on other fronts :D
@thamibenjelloun That’s the real founder mode 😂
I try to switch off, but I never fully do. Sometimes when I sleep, I even dream about working, I don't know if that's good sign lol😂
@tsiriniavo_rabemananjara It should be :D What are you building
I work every day! less intensely for sure, but still get stuff done.
@patricklu10 What are you working on actually
Sorry not sorry
I do, but I’m trying to stop treating weekends as two extra weekdays 😅
Building a startup makes it incredibly easy because there is always something useful you could be doing — content, product, research, talking to users.
What works better for me is keeping one small thing I genuinely want to move forward and leaving the rest alone. Otherwise Monday arrives and I’m already tired
Never been able to completely switch off😅. Even when if I have some spare time, usually will try to get ahead on tasks. But lately, weekends have felt like full work days. Not complaining, lowkey I love that =)
I try to disconnect but most of the time I can't
I also work weekends. I have a family so I carve out family time and then in between I absolutely catch up on tasks that lagged over the week. I brain dump every evening into my calendar and then drag things forward usually catching up on those things over the weekend. I do think it's healthy to take a break on the weekends but when it's go time, we have to find the time somewhere.
Yes, mostly.
Most of the time, when I am building a side project, I work on weekends, but since my brother visits home on weekends, I try not to do much work. He lives out of the city because of his work.
Recently, I am working on https://usetu.la/.
Before that, I launched https://agentfriendlycode.com/ on PH.
Here in Kuwait our weekend is Friday and Saturday, so Sunday is a working day while most of the world is resting. That makes my "weekend work" feel normal. I keep Friday mornings free, and on Saturday evening I plan the week ahead, which saves me a lot of time on Sunday.
