What's a weekend?


The 2 days you allocate to every week to keep yourself from burning out in 3 years and then spending 7 months doing nothing but following links on Reddit.


At this point I plan for burnout. It's just part of my productivity cycle. Small burnouts happen 1-2 times a year and involve about a week of doing nothing; large burnouts happen every 2-4 years and require a couple months. This happens with or without weekends.


Aren't those supposed to be called "vacations"?


What's a vacation?

Seriously, can we cut out the tech-babble so everyone can follow.


doing nothing but following links on Reddit

ah, the good old corporate job.


Which means you shouldn't be at work on those two days of the week.


reddit's still around? I though all the users moved to HN?
