0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the New Corner Office,

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>new world of work, were location and hours are more

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>flexible than in the past. Today's tip is about how

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>to handle weekend work without well completely losing your weekend.

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>One of the hazards of working from home is losing

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the boundaries between work and the rest of life. A

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of people have discovered this over the past few months.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>One survey from JDP found that of people newly working

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>from home, a majority reported working on nights and weekends

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>more frequently. Sometimes this is because people's managers don't observe boundaries.

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 1>But other times it's because well, hey, you're already at

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>your workplace. It seems easy enough to get caught up

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:43.640
<v Speaker 1>on email. You have downtime when you'd otherwise be watching TV,

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and so, well, that's fine. I tracked my time, and

0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.679
<v Speaker 1>I know that I often work on weekends, my weekdays

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>can be interrupted, and if my kids are busy on weekends, well,

0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>time is time. However, you might want to be a

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>little judicious about it. So here's how to work from

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>home on weekends without spending your entire weekend working at home. First,

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 1>make yourself a very clear priority list. Don't work just

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>to work. What do you hope to get done before

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Monday morning. Weekends can be a good time for longer

0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>term or speculative projects, or if you're behind because of

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.320
<v Speaker 1>a midweek emergency. They can also help you stay on track.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.799
<v Speaker 1>But you won't get through a one tho email backlog

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>over a weekend, so don't set that as a goal.

0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe just return anything you intend to return from the

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>last week and let anything before that go. On a

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>recent weekend, after returning from a few weeks at the beach,

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>my weekend goal was to record ten short podcast episodes.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:47.960
<v Speaker 1>When I was done, I was done. Second, give yourself

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>a window for doing these tasks. This serves a few purposes. First,

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.560
<v Speaker 1>work expands to fill the available space. Were more efficient

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>when space is more limited. Second, it keeps work from

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>always being an option. That way, you don't feel guilty

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>when you relax or hang out with your family. There's

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a time for work, namely Sunday evening from four to

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>seven pm, and now is not that time. Then do

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>what you need to in order to make your working

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.800
<v Speaker 1>be okay with the people around you. If you've got

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>young kids, your spouse is not automatically obligated to cover,

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>especially if he or she covers more of the work week. Two,

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.719
<v Speaker 1>what would make it worthwhile to him or her? Maybe

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you cover an equivalent number of four hours for your partner,

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>or give this person a few free hours to do

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>personal projects. Your kids might be more amenable to your

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>work session if they know you're planning to take them

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to the park right afterwards. A significant other might be

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>okay with you working Saturday if Sunday is open. Make

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.919
<v Speaker 1>sure you figure this out. Finally, realize you may not

0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>have to work on weekends. I've sometimes fallen into the

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>habit of assuming I can get caught up over the kend,

0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>so I don't press his hard on Thursday and Friday.

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>If you view weekend work as more of a last

0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>resort or only for big projects, not day to day stuff,

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.280
<v Speaker 1>this can light a fire under you to use real

0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>work hours. You spend a bit less time surfing the

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>web and a bit more time getting stuff done. That's

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a smart idea, whether you work on weekends or not.

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, this is Laura. Thanks for listening, and

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:36.920
