Yes, I pretty much work 7 days a week. Sometimes just a few hours a day, but putting it a lot of hours is required just to get by nowadays.

oftentimes, i tend to be more laidback when working during weekends – less pressure. at the same time, i tend to get less things done – less pressure = more distractions. it takes some sort of discipline to strike a balance and adher to it in the long run.

Funny you should say this… “seems easier to get work done on the weekends because there is no pressure.” I said this almost word for word just this past weekend. I put in a good 5 hours on both Saturday and Sunday. Not necessarily typical, but not rare, either. Actually, those are just billed hours. As a business owner, I’m working most of the time. But I echo Jeff Croft’s question posed in the first comment in this thread: What’s the difference between work and play? :-)

Doing web dev as side work means guaranteed work on weekends. It’s when I get a break from my real responsibilities.

In theory, weekends are reserved for work on personal projects. However, since skiing, tennis, biking, volleyball, basketball, the Rocky Mountains, shopping and barbequing exists, I find that in reality I find little time or will to work on the weekends. I also suffer from the same procrastination tendencies as Andre.

I have the same psychological situation — during the 8-6, M-F times I feel much more stressed out with my brain racing through all the to-dos of every project I’ve got going. Once “non-working hours” roll around though, I can more easily focus on a specific goal and complete it without mental interruption, because then it’s not “work”.

Working on the weekends is generally reserved for my personal projects. I tend to divide the weekend time between that and getting out of the house though since the weekdays are pretty much go, go, go on work all the time.

In fact, this very weekend I designed and launch my 15tags blog. Something I hate about working on weekends is that I’m unable to get proper food here downtown. I have to eat sandwiches or quick stuff and I’m fat people, I love to eat! is one of my favorite moments of the day!

Here in Argentina, on weekends, nobody works, so you will be pretty much alone in the whole city; everyone is at home or traveling. It’s strange when you go out and there is no one (I mean, NO ONE) on the streets. But I guess that’s the attractive of working on weekends.

Is a love-hate attraction :)
