Weekend Work

I'm a big fan of weekends. Even now that I'm my own boss, I still count down to those two days each week when I can stay up later and sleep longer and do things like golf and garden and relax more—even though there's usually a bit of work thrown in.

This weekend, I'm actually running off to Vegas for a friend's bachelorette party. And, for what may be the first time in the past two years, I'm not taking my laptop with me so I can get work done on the plane. It's exhilarating. It's a bit nerve-wracking. Can I really cut the cord? (Of course, I will have an environmental law textbook to keep me company ...)

Here's a question for all you freelancers out there: Do you work on the weekend? Or do you try to take Saturday and Sunday off like "regular" working stiffs? If you do work on the weekend, do you try to limit your work time at all? Or is your schedule more fluid–if you work all day Sunday, do you try to take Monday off too? Or do you just snag random hours each day for personal time and boot the whole idea of a set schedule to the curb?
