Being that we are all in what turns out to be a 24/7 work environment, I post this question: Do you actually work MORE in what most people call "the weekend?"

My mobile notary service is available on the weekends, or for emergencies, but I charge an extra fee. I also teach Colorado Notary Training classes on Saturdays as well as other days. One bank asks me to teach notary training on Sunday afternoons for their employees. I enjoy teaching, doesn't feel like working.

I don't usually work More on what most people call the weekend. It seems like I work more during the workweek and a little less on the weekends - unless I have an open house. That may change in the next coming months!

First of all, I resist any attempt to have anyone categorize me as being available 24/7. As for weekends, I work as much as any other day of the week, especially if I'm out with relocating buyers.

I play a mental game with myself and still consider it the weekend. So work I am doing I feel is at my leisure with no time constraints or deadlines to meet. So no matter the hours, often many, I find it more relaxing. Because it is the 'weekend' Mark

I probably work equally between the two - but am trying to lead generate during the week so that I will have listings that other people hold open and I will have time to spend with my family - and a clear conscience that I was productive during the week!

I work about the same, 7 days a week. My wife is a partner in a real estate law firm and she will be the first to admit, I work more hours than she does. It is a choice, a choice I make.

when I was working for a living, I worked equally during the week and weekends....there were many weeks that I worked 24/7.....there was one year, when new construction was booming in my town and I had most of the subdivisions, when I worked every day for one year without taking a day off....I had no choice....there were too many subdivisions to cover and I could not leave....
