What do you guys do on the weekends and how many hours are you working per week roughly.

I feel bad doing stuff on the weekend that doesn't feel productive and not sure if this is just gaslighting or if I actually have the wrong hobbies.

You’re unlikely to be paid enough to do work on weekends. In ideal world for your firm you would work 24/7 for zero pay but we outlawed slavery a long ago last I checked

It’s productive to take time off because then you come back more reenergized at work… that’s how I like to think about it.

I value my time off and, with the exception of checking email and calendar on Sunday evenings, try to do as little work for my company as possible on weekends.

Taking time for yourself to relax, unwind, and do non-productive stuff like hobbies isnt "gaslighting" its taking care of your personal mental health and well being.

Finally pls be an example to others and stop using the word "gaslighting" in situations where it doesn't apply. I doubt youre deliberately emotionally abusing yourself and/or causing yourself to deny your own reality.
