But, truth be told, productivity increased once working over the weekends were nixed. Like you said, there will be times when the work overflows, and in those cases, I'd say that you should stick <em>only</em> to those tasks which are imperative. Over the weekend, even if I need to get some work done, I make it a point not to check e-mail, surf the net, or anything else that could distract me into doing more than is necessary. ~ Teli I agree that there needs to be some sort of balance when it comes to working on the weekends — and it comes after spending many of my weekends drenched in projects that needed completing.

For 9 to 5'ers I believe it's stupid to do weekend work. But if you are self-employed, it's something that is negotiable.
