Do you work on Saturdays?

As a founder with a family, this has been a tough one for me.
I take Sundays off, but have mainly been working Saturdays.
What do you guys do to balance work and life?

Not exactly work, but I dedicate weekends for learning new skills, which help with work. So, it's sort of work related, but not work exactly.
As for your situation, I can understand that it's very difficult. You can try to time block certain days or hours just for the family. And unless something is really burning and crashing, that time is for your family.
And the time block doesn't always have to be weekends.

I do creative work on weekends but only if I don't have plans with family, friends, or my girlfriend.
I work on myself either hobby or investing time to get better at my day job on Saturday and work a bit on Sunday to help calm the storm on Monday :)
I also work on Saturdays, but I don't really recommend.
@kurachiweb Why don't you recommend?
@nathancovey Well, i drink coffee, or listen to my fav music. Sometimes i take a nap for like 30 mins to 1 hour.
Yes, iām work every day of the week, including Saturdays. Balancing work and life involves setting clear boundaries, managing time effectively, and prioritizing self-care. Many people find it helpful to establish specific work hours, take regular breaks, and make time for hobbies and relationships. Using tools like calendars and task managers can also help maintain a balance between professional and personal responsibilities.
I mostly enjoy on saturdays.āš

Saturday is the only day I actually try to take off fully.
Building my startup has been a ton of work, but it's really exciting and doesn't feel like "work" per se.
My job requires me to work on Saturdays :")
