Would you consider your weekend as a time to refresh and rejuvenate yourself? Do you find it challenging to disengage from work on the weekend? Are you sneaking checking email in the bathroom or sending work texts at your child’s basketball or soccer game? This behavior is more rampant than you know! As many as 20 percent of Americans spend nearly six hours working over weekends and holidays. Why? A project is due; you need to get caught up; this behavior will get you promoted and is expected.
