It’s the Weekend!
What are YOU doing for yourself and for your business?
If you work in retail, service, or in the hospitality industry, you expect to work on the weekends and instead maybe have a day or two off during the week. My husband is a performing musician and I know a lot of artists, actors, and other creative people who not only work on the weekends but look forward to weekend work.
However, I have always had trouble working on the weekends. In my first two careers as an educator and later in corporate and direct sales, I worked the standard Monday-Friday, 9–5 schedule, and decades later, I am still having trouble shaking that mindset. Previously, when I shut things down on Friday, I tried not to think about anything work-related until Sunday evening.
In the decade or so since I became a solopreneur, I have found myself working at least part of Saturday and Sunday most weekends. I often tell myself that putting in a couple of hours on those days is necessary. Those thoughts don’t always work, though.
So…how do creative and solo professionals who don’t usually work on the weekends plan their entire week so that working on the weekend (or not) is. their choice?
