Is it okay to work on weekends? And what’s going on when you sit down to work during the week but just… can’t? 

In this Q&A episode, I’m answering two listener-submitted questions that get at the heart of time, focus, and burnout.

We’ll talk about when weekend work can actually serve you, and when it’s just masking deeper problems. I’ll also walk you through the most common reasons people lose weekday focus (hint: it’s not laziness), and how to restructure your systems to make your workday more manageable.

What You’ll Learn:

• How to tell whether weekend work is helping or hurting
• A system-first approach to solving weekday focus issues
• Signs that your productivity strategy (not you!) might be broken
• Why focus is not about willpower (and what to do instead)
