You do have a valid point. You’re observation of 11am rings true.

Since I quit my day job, my sleep patterns have changed quite a bit, with me waking up much later and going to bed equally late.

This was ofcourse forced, because the US is several hours behind me… but maybe it is time for a change…

When i was in full speed at The Blog Herald, I never really had a day off in terms of publishing, writing, editing, selling advertising, and so on….

At least until we got Tony, Aaron, Thord, Darnell, and others onboard..

Krugster, don’t you mean when you get up at 9:01 am? (Someone was bound to say it)

While I work on weekends, it tends to be 3-4 hours/day (while weekdays is 9-10).

Really it depends on how my workload / inbox is doing. Saturdays mornings will often be spent chewing through my inbox (trying to get it down to about 15 items). Sunday afternoons will often be spent prepping for the week.

Generally, though, my weekends belong to my family and I’m only working so I can have a sane week the next week (and actually concentrate on my family while I’m with them).

Andy I definetly have a slightly different style on the weekends. Mostly goof off the majority of the day and do some work at night and in the morning.

Today I did a few podcasts with various netizens. But yeah I agree you need personal and family time.

I think it depends on your life etc. I personally work damn hard during the week and (despite sitting here now doing ‘work’) generally take weekends out to be with family, friends, etc.

At least taking one day off per week is healthy. Unless you feel you absolutely have to break stories on a Saturday or a Sunday, you can always time some posts to go off on those days if you want your site to look 24/7.

The very fact you only live once for me means that there are other important things that would be obliterated if I worked 24/7.
