I know some demand 100% off from work on the weekends. I usually have 50-100% work on Sunday or Saturday. WBU?

Not too often. I always try to finish my work during the workday. But this weekend will be crazy with deadlines.

Launching soon!
Depends on the situation. If you're building your own startup, you need all the time you can get your hands on. If you're working for an established corporate, then weekends off.

Depends...if it's hot af then it's hard HELL NO! But if it's raining or something, than why not. It's better than doing nothing :) Or if a client really NEED something, then iam able to "sacrifice" my self.

In the past year, I've been pursuing a master's degree on weekends, and time management has often been a challenge. I've tried many methods, and the best one so far is to strictly separate work, study, and life. Notice I didn't use the word "balance," but rather "separate," or even "boundaries." I've found that every task has its suitable time. For instance, during work hours, I focus solely on work. During rest time, the primary goal is to rest well. Blurring these boundaries leads to anxiety and illusion. For example, I might think I have a whole day to complete a work task, or a whole weekend to finish a paper. But in reality, I need time to eat, rest, and socialize. These seemingly trivial activities play a crucial role in regulation and connection. When facing urgent tasks, we can temporarily disconnect from everything unrelated. But trust the ancient Chinese proverb: "All debts must be repaid." Product development is a creative endeavor, and creativity requires time and energy. For better products, make sure you get a good weekend.

Ah, weekends - the perfect time to balance work and relaxation, right? I tend to sprinkle a bit of work into my weekends like adding extra sprinkles on a sundae. How about you? Finding that work-life blend just like tweaking code for the perfect outcome?

Still working a 9-5, so weekends are a must while I'm preparing to launch http://remarkified.com. But I try to only work 4 hour days.

Yes, unfortunately, I have to work on weekends. It is difficult because on weekdays I sit in college and study. Sometimes I go to work after studying. Thanks to https://academized.com/buy-colle... , I keep up with everything. I provide for myself, I have good grades, and sometimes I manage to spend some time with my friends. It would be cool to work online when you want and not on weekends in a cafe
