Work or Chill: How Do You Spend Your Weekend? ๐ ๏ธ vs. ๐

I've noticed that more and more people are dedicating their weekends to side projects, extra work, or catching up on tasks from the week. While the hustle is admirable, I believe weekends should be reserved for rest, relaxation, and quality time with loved ones.

Whether it's spending time with family, exploring a hobby, or simply recharging for the week ahead, taking a break is crucial for long-term productivity and well-being.
What do you think? Do you work on weekends, or do you keep it strictly for personal time? How do you balance the demands of work with the need to relax?
Letโs hear your thoughts!

Oh, it's terrible to handle for me.
Even when I push myself to do out somewhere I feel myself shit as I'm not doing anything useful, and in the end that rest destroys me even more.
It's a sprint phase for me, and I know that it's very unhealthy.
But hopefully after our launch I would rest a bit.

I do sleep on weekends.
Saturday is a mix of work and play, but Sunday is strictly family day for us to spend time with our kiddos. Laptops aren't open until they go to bed on Sunday evening.
If I overthink during the weekdays, I just want to relax on the weekends, playing games or working out with good friends. If I'm not busy and not too tired, I might work on something, but the hot weather right now makes me just want to unwind. This weekend, I'm planning to meet some new friends and share insights about our industry.
If you want to rest, my friend, donโt force yourself. It's important to follow your heart. Have a great weekend!

Bro, weekends for me are all about chillin' and recharging from the grind ๐ด๐ค But I try to keep a good balance, ya know? Saturday is for catchin' up with friends over some ๐ป, hittin' the gym ๐ช, or scopin' out a new spot in the city ๐ Sunday tho is straight up R&R - sleepin' in ๐ด, bingein' shows ๐บ, maybe doin' a lil self care ๐งโ Gotta be ready to crush it come Monday mornin' ๐ผ๐ช It's all about that work hard, play hard lifestyle ๐ฅ
Gonna take some time off working on my product and relax. :DD

Iโm with you, I believe weekends are essential for recharging.
However, I think itโs also important to be realistic; during particularly busy periods, working on weekends can be necessary. As long as itโs not too frequent, I think itโs okay. But when it becomes a regular thing, it can definitely lead to burnout, even if you love what you do.

@morgane_prr Exactly :)
Weekends are for recharging for me! ๐ A little house work mixed with a lot of relaxing, family time, and fun outings. ๐น Work hard during the week to play hard on the weekends is my motto! ๐
Mix of both for me - hustle on my side project ๐ป in the morning, then chill with friends/fam ๐จ๐ฉ๐ง๐ฆ and have a couple ๐บ in the afternoon/evening to recharge for the week ahead. Gotta have that work/life balance! ๐งโ
Chilling all the way! ๐๐ธ Need to recharge on weekends. Though sometimes I'll do a bit of side project coding for fun. ๐ฉ๐ป How about y'all - team Chill or team Grind?
Weekend's all about finding that balance bro ๐ Grind hard during the week so you can chill & recharge on the weekend ๐น๐ด But sometimes a side project gets me too hyped & I end up coding all weekend ๐จ๐ป๐ป Anyone else get sucked into work mode on weekends? I need better work/life separation ๐

Yeah, I have to work this weekend for my first launch on Monday ๐ช๐ช๐ช
I try to find a balance! Some weekends are all about recharging and other times I want to catch up or get inspired.
This weekend will be rather busy, as we are launching our product next week.

@hamza_afzal_butt Thank you! Will appreciate support :)
Saturday is just nr 6 in the list
Sunday is mostly spent in a vegetative state
Totally with you on this. I try to keep my weekends for hobbies and downtime. It makes the workweek feel less overwhelming.
I chill and usually indulge myself in intellectual activities such as reading books, listening to classical music "Bach, Vivaldi and etc", learning new skills and etc.
Chilling with family and taking time for myself is key. Weekend should be a break from the hustle
Weekends are all about unwinding for me. After a busy week, it's essential to relax and recharge.
