Oh, hi friends!
Working on the weekend is kind of painful! And I say this as someone who has done it almost every weekend for her entire adult life.
It’s not even the work itself that is the problem (especially if you like it, or there’s no other choice, or you’re racking up that $$$ — those are all valid reasons to work).
But when it’s preventable work, you have to try and prevent it. Because the problem is you never recharge and then Monday feels super-extra Monday.
So here’s a trick.
Right now, pretend you’re getting on a flight in a couple hours. Say, at 2pm.
You’re going to be gone for…a couple days? A week or two? You don’t really know.
And guess what…you can’t bring your computer! No overhead space. Sorry.
You don’t have all day to get it done. You don’t have all weekend. But you do have four hours or so to do all the Most Important Stuff.
If you do it now, you can have a real break.
What will you do?
