Working for the Weekend

Do you want to take the first steps …in realigning your thoughts on your relationship with work and with time? If you were listening to your feelings while taking our quiz on Burnout you’ve probably already come to the conclusion that you’re working for the weekend! But why settle for that?

A lot of the time, when someone is leaning toward working for the weekend, they are fairly conscious of feeling some level of burnout. And more often than not it’s more than just a mild case of stress or being temporarily overworked.

So maybe it’s not about what you are bringing to the table, but actually what you’re not bringing to the table - what you’re leaving behind when you walk through those office doors. Maybe it’s the effort to conceal your real self that is adding to the stress and exhaustion.

Working for the Weekend: What It Really Means

We all go through periods of burnout, even those of us entrenched in our very own passion projects. But working for the weekend is something altogether different and should be a signal that all is not well.

Maybe you are just in a longer-than-usual rut. But maybe it’s deeper than that. Maybe you’ve also heard about the millions of Americans who, in the last couple of years, are starting to see those “stepping stone” positions for what they really are: poorly paid, dead end, exploitative gigs that only enrich a few guys at the top; jobs that don’t allow you to be and do what you truly want or contribute what you’re capable of contributing.

And maybe you’re wondering now whether you might be seeing it too. Are you up to taking action?
