Welcome to the 13 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies for 14 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: thriving in the new world of work, where location and 15 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's tip 16 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: is about how to handle weekend work without well completely 17 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: losing your weekend. One of the hazards of working from 18 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: home is losing the boundaries between work and the rest 19 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: of life. A lot of people have discovered this over 20 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: the past few months. One survey from JDP found that 21 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: of people newly working from home, a majority reported working 22 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: on nights and weekends more frequently. Sometimes this is because 23 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: people's managers don't observe boundaries, but other times it's because, well, hey, 24 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: you're already at your workplace. It seems easy enough to 25 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: get caught up on email. You have downtime when you'd 26 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: otherwise be watching TV, and so, well, that's fine. I 27 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: tracked my time, and I know that I often work 28 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: on weekends, my weekdays can be interrupted, and if my 29 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: kids are busy on weekends, well, time is time. However, 30 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: you might want to be a little judicious about it. 31 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: So here's how to work from home on weekends without 32 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: spending your entire weekend working at home. First, make yourself 33 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: a very clear priority list. Don't work just to work. 34 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: What do you hope to get done before Monday morning. 35 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: Weekends can be a good time for longer term or 36 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 1: speculative projects, or if you're behind because of a midweek emergency. 37 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: They can also help you stay on track, but you 38 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: won't get through a one thou email backlog over a weekend, 39 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 1: so don't set that as a goal. Maybe just return 40 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: anything you intend to return from the last week and 41 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: let anything before that go. On a recent weekend, after 42 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: returning from a few weeks at the beach, my weekend 43 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: goal was to record ten short podcast episodes. When I 44 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: was done, I was done. Second, give yourself a window 45 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: for doing these tasks. This serves a few purposes. First, 46 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: work expands to fill the available space. Were more efficient 47 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: when space is more limited. Second, it keeps work from 48 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: always being an option. That way, you don't feel guilty 49 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: when you relax or hang out with your family. There's 50 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: a time for work, namely Sunday evening from four to 51 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: seven p m. And now is not that time. Then 52 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: do what you need to in order to make your 53 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: working be okay with the people around you. If you've 54 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: got young kids, your spouse is not automatically obligated to cover, 55 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: especially if he or she covers more of the work week. Two, 56 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: what would make it worth while to him or her? 57 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you cover an equivalent number of four hours for 58 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: your partner, or give this person a few free hours 59 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: to do personal projects. Your kids might be more amenable 60 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: to your work session if they know you're planning to 61 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: take them to the park right afterwards. A significant other 62 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: might be okay with you working Saturday if Sunday is open. 63 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: Make sure you figure this out. Finally realize you may 64 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: not have to work on weekends. I've sometimes fallen into 65 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: the habit of assuming I can get caught up over 66 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: the weekend, so I don't press his hard on Thursday 67 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: and Friday. If you view weekend work as more of 68 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 1: a last resort or only for big projects, not day 69 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 1: to day stuff, this can light a fire under you 70 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: to use real work hours. You spend a bit less 71 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: time surfing the web and a bit more time getting 72 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: stuff done. That's a smart idea, whether you work on 73 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 1: weekends or not.
