<v Speaker 1>Account School. Good morning, This is Laura. Welcome to the

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>New Corner Office, the podcast where we share strategies for

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>thriving in the new world of work, where location and

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>hours are more flexible than in the past. Today's tip

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>is about how to handle weekend work without well completely

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>losing your weekend. One of the hazards of working from

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>home is losing the boundaries between work and the rest

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>of life. A lot of people have discovered this over

0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the past few months. One survey from JDP found that

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>of people newly working from home, a majority reported working

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>on nights and weekends more frequently. Sometimes this is because

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>people's managers don't observe boundaries, but other times it's because, well, hey,

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>you're already at your workplace. It seems easy enough to

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>get caught up on email. You have downtime when you'd

0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 1>otherwise be watching TV, and so, well, that's fine. I

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>tracked my time, and I know that I often work

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>on weekends, my weekdays can be interrupted, and if my

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>kids are busy on weekends, well, time is time. However,

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>you might want to be a little judicious about it.

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>So here's how to work from home on weekends without

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>spending your entire weekend working at home. First, make yourself

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>a very clear priority list. Don't work just to work.

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>What do you hope to get done before Monday morning.

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Weekends can be a good time for longer term or

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>speculative projects, or if you're behind because of a midweek emergency.

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 1>They can also help you stay on track, but you

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>won't get through a one thou email backlog over a weekend,

0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>so don't set that as a goal. Maybe just return

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>anything you intend to return from the last week and

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>let anything before that go. On a recent weekend, after

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>returning from a few weeks at the beach, my weekend

0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>goal was to record ten short podcast episodes. When I

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>was done, I was done. Second, give yourself a window

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:10.239
<v Speaker 1>for doing these tasks. This serves a few purposes. First,

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 1>work expands to fill the available space. Were more efficient

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.480
<v Speaker 1>when space is more limited. Second, it keeps work from

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>always being an option. That way, you don't feel guilty

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 1>when you relax or hang out with your family. There's

0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a time for work, namely Sunday evening from four to

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>seven p m. And now is not that time. Then

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>do what you need to in order to make your

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>working be okay with the people around you. If you've

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>got young kids, your spouse is not automatically obligated to cover,

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 1>especially if he or she covers more of the work week. Two,

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>what would make it worth while to him or her?

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you cover an equivalent number of four hours for

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>your partner, or give this person a few free hours

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to do personal projects. Your kids might be more amenable

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>to your work session if they know you're planning to

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>take them to the park right afterwards. A significant other

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:06.360
<v Speaker 1>might be okay with you working Saturday if Sunday is open.

0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Make sure you figure this out. Finally realize you may

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>not have to work on weekends. I've sometimes fallen into

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the habit of assuming I can get caught up over

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the weekend, so I don't press his hard on Thursday

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.520
<v Speaker 1>and Friday. If you view weekend work as more of

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.480
<v Speaker 1>a last resort or only for big projects, not day

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.359
<v Speaker 1>to day stuff, this can light a fire under you

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to use real work hours. You spend a bit less

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:35.200
<v Speaker 1>time surfing the web and a bit more time getting

0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>stuff done. That's a smart idea, whether you work on

0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:45.719
<v Speaker 1>weekends or not. In the meantime, this is Laura, Thanks
