Directory Owners and the Weekend

    Directory owners, do you take it easier on the weekend or is it business as usual?

    For me, saturday and sunday is no different from any other day, doing the same work and promotion.

    I realise that some people have full time jobs aside from their directory projects, so maybe relax more at the weekend.
    Its usually quieter here on the weekend so i can see a few at least that go off and do other things.

    Maybe your geeky like me and spend your weekends still here, lol :)

    heheh well you have to watch you dont over do it..

    Ive been getting up at 5am and go for my jog (ok fast walk :eek:)
    as sitting behind this chair doesnt help and is even worse if you
    are putting in 15-18 hours daily sitting and staring at screen :p

    Taking a weekend away every now and again isnt a bad thing..
    providing it doesnt become habit forming.. :eek:

    thx

    weekends, are a bit busier for me because i do my other part - time job at a grocery store.

    So i dont promote on weekends. Mostly on those days I update idk.in add new features to it. Live test new features and such. I take the weekends easy.

    actually i disagree. A guy's gotta rest & recharge in order to continue running a good race. No point keep running and burning out and affecting your work right? I get a good balance of hanging out with friends on the weekends, while touching base with all my websites to make sure everything's ok. Only when I have spare time (no appointment with friends or wife) then i devote to my websites and directories on the weekend.

    Rest is important to me, i believe it should be important to rest of you guys if you want to continue giving your best to your directories :)

    As long as i get about 7 hours sleep in fine and am more than happy to dedicate the rest of my time to my directories.

    Good to see that virtually all of you are no nonsense, all out hard working directory owners.

    Promoting, testing, answering, fixing, rinse and repeat.;)
