Welcome to the New Corner Office, 31 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: the podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the 32 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: new world of work, were location and hours are more 33 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: flexible than in the past. Today's tip is about how 34 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,040 Speaker 1: to handle weekend work without well completely losing your weekend. 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: One of the hazards of working from home is losing 36 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: the boundaries between work and the rest of life. A 37 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: lot of people have discovered this over the past few months. 38 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: One survey from JDP found that of people newly working 39 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: from home, a majority reported working on nights and weekends 40 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: more frequently. Sometimes this is because people's managers don't observe boundaries. 41 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: But other times it's because well, hey, you're already at 42 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: your workplace. It seems easy enough to get caught up 43 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 1: on email. You have downtime when you'd otherwise be watching TV, 44 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: and so, well, that's fine. I tracked my time, and 45 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,679 Speaker 1: I know that I often work on weekends, my weekdays 46 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: can be interrupted, and if my kids are busy on weekends, well, 47 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: time is time. However, you might want to be a 48 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: little judicious about it. So here's how to work from 49 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: home on weekends without spending your entire weekend working at home. First, 50 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: make yourself a very clear priority list. Don't work just 51 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: to work. What do you hope to get done before 52 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: Monday morning. Weekends can be a good time for longer 53 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: term or speculative projects, or if you're behind because of 54 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: a midweek emergency. They can also help you stay on track. 55 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: But you won't get through a one tho email backlog 56 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: over a weekend, so don't set that as a goal. 57 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: Maybe just return anything you intend to return from the 58 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: last week and let anything before that go. On a 59 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: recent weekend, after returning from a few weeks at the beach, 60 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: my weekend goal was to record ten short podcast episodes. 61 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: When I was done, I was done. Second, give yourself 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: a window for doing these tasks. This serves a few purposes. First, 63 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: work expands to fill the available space. Were more efficient 64 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: when space is more limited. Second, it keeps work from 65 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: always being an option. That way, you don't feel guilty 66 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: when you relax or hang out with your family. There's 67 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: a time for work, namely Sunday evening from four to 68 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: seven pm, and now is not that time. Then do 69 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: what you need to in order to make your working 70 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 1: be okay with the people around you. If you've got 71 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: young kids, your spouse is not automatically obligated to cover, 72 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: especially if he or she covers more of the work week. Two, 73 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: what would make it worthwhile to him or her? Maybe 74 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: you cover an equivalent number of four hours for your partner, 75 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: or give this person a few free hours to do 76 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: personal projects. Your kids might be more amenable to your 77 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 1: work session if they know you're planning to take them 78 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: to the park right afterwards. A significant other might be 79 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: okay with you working Saturday if Sunday is open. Make 80 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: sure you figure this out. Finally, realize you may not 81 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: have to work on weekends. I've sometimes fallen into the 82 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: habit of assuming I can get caught up over the kend, 83 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: so I don't press his hard on Thursday and Friday. 84 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: If you view weekend work as more of a last 85 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: resort or only for big projects, not day to day stuff, 86 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: this can light a fire under you to use real 87 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: work hours. You spend a bit less time surfing the 88 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: web and a bit more time getting stuff done. That's 89 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: a smart idea, whether you work on weekends or not. 90 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and 91 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: here's the succeeding in the New Corner Office.
