Should you work on weekends?
The hustle culture says yes. The wellness culture says no.
Here's the real answer: it depends on what kind of work.
Deep, creative work on weekends can be valuable. The office is quiet. The Slack is silent. You can think.
Reactive, administrative work on weekends is a trap. You're not resting, but you're not making progress either.
If you're going to work this weekend, make it count.
Work on the thing you can't focus on during the week. The strategic thinking. The big picture planning. The creative problem that needs space.
Don't work on email. Don't work on small tasks. Don't fill time with busy work.
Either rest fully or work meaningfully.
The in-between is where burnout lives.
This weekend, choose intentionally. Rest or create. Don't just react.
