A very interesting view point! When I was employed by a company (I’m now self-employed) I used to get that Sunday evening “back to school” feeling that reminded of the good old days of preparing for the week ahead at school. For a long time, I thought it was just me – but it turned out that almost everyone I knew had the same dread of Sunday evenings. I remember I even stopped listening to a certain radio program as it evoked the dread, just by association!

Interestingly, I’m working harder now that I have my own business… but I LOVE it! I think it’s because I am in control of my life and choices, and while I do work at weekends, quite often, I also have the time during the week, should I choose to, to do other things that would take too long on a Saturday when half of London is busy doing them too.

It is very important to find an effective work-life balance (subject of my blog, in part), but quite often people aren’t even aware that they have that choice, or that there is so much information and help available to improve your life quality, be it online or from people around you.

I like the idea of extra days – but practically, and economically, I can’t see it working too well as it would mean a change to holiday allowances most likely – if you’re like me, you cram as much into a holiday as possible, and leave the email-catching-up to when you’re back.

Keep up the good articles
