Stop checking you emails... you said it, it’s weekend

This is number one reason I keep two phones. I have no idea if anyone is emailing me. I gave my personal cell # to all team members if they need to reach me (for personal emergencies/destressing).

You can also just turn off email notifications on the weekend

The days are starting to blend together, and on the weekends, doing a couple hours of easy work to take the weight off the week honestly doesn’t sound so bad. A lot of people don’t have concrete plans over the weekend, and taking some load off the upcoming week helps to keep boredom at bay.

If they’re assigning work to you, it might just be them checking items off of their to do Lists. If this is your case, I would just get to it on Monday like normal.
