2007-10-13 Saturday Links Folder
Posted October 13, 2007 in Uncategorized 8 Comments »
I first would like to ask you something: What do you do on week-ends? Do you usually take the week-end off, or you try to get some more stuff done? I’m just wondering, as I usually work a little on week-ends. But anyway, whether you have work to do or not doesn’t matter, it’s really ok to take a break, do something else, and then come back with new ideas, and a fresh perspective.
So with that said, here are 8 posts I thought you might find interesting (I know I really enjoyed reading them) ;)
Hope you enjoyed those posts as much as I did!
Take care
Jon

October 13th, 2007 at 8:48 amHey Jon,
I got excited about the link and forgot to answer your question in my comment. I almost always work a good bit on the weekends. It helps me to get prepared for the upcoming week.

October 13th, 2007 at 10:07 amWow, some great links in there! I especially like the Mind Petals blog.
I actually do most of my writing on weekends when I’m not doing blog consulting work for clients. I set the post dates to occur throughout the upcoming week..

October 13th, 2007 at 11:33 amFunny, I was working and took a break to check emails when I saw this post. I work a little on weekends — I don’t mind as I know it makes it possible for me to do more with my kids during the week. But this weekend, they went to Grandma and Grandpa’s with hubby so I could catch up as it’s been an eventful week beginning with one trip to the ER to get four stitches (no worries — I’m great).
The clients all decided to respond at once, too. It happens and I can’t complain! :)

October 17th, 2007 at 10:40 pmI think that a lot of freelancers in the early days have regular jobs and write around them, so that probably means a lot of evening and weekend work. Some writing gigs require it, too; for instance, when I was doing a lot of newspaper writing there were often weekend events to cover. Now that I have more control over my schedule, I try to work as little as possible on the weekends, but sometimes it’s hard not to write. Sometimes I don’t mind a bit when my daughter goes off to the park with her friends for an hour or two and I can bang out a couple of thousand words of my novel on a Saturday afternoon….

October 20th, 2007 at 5:36 pmHi folks, thanks a lot!
So we all work a little on week-ends I guess? :)
There’s one thing to remember though, and I’m trying to put that into practice “take Sundays off, work will still be there tomorrow”, working ok so far.
