I like working on my personal projects on weekends. Sometimes it gets a bit tiring. When it does, I determine one of the weekend days as a rest day. And I do literally nothing.

I think that is because we don't do what we really want to do.
If we're on what we're really passionate about then I won't feel enough with working 80 hrs a week.
:) Just my thoughts.
It's been 8 years working as a lead software engineer but not sure if I'm in the right product.
If possible, I'd love to join a project which I really would love to join.
I'm trying not to work during weekends because if I have to (sometimes it happens) I feel very tired throughout the next week. I also need to reboot my brain
I really want to make weekend free as well, but somehow I alaways have this feeling of being very close to what I want to achieve (mostly after seeing my to-do list) that makes me keep going without seeing time. Can anyone relate? Is that a good feeling to nurture?
It depends on the time of year for me. If it's cold outside, I don't mind working on weekends. However, during warmer seasons, I do prefer to take some time off and enjoy outdoor activities.
Sometimes I have to work so as not to postpone important tasks for later. On weekends, I prefer to relax in nature if the weather permits. Active games like badminton, swimming, etc. It's necessary to recharge for the new workweek!
Definitely depends on my mood and plans but I like getting a few hours in here and there. Productivity can totally be energising in the right quantities!
