I must not work on weekends. Working on weekends is the mind-killer. Working on weekends is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the JIRA tasks that arrive on weekends. I will permit them to pass over me and through me. And when they have gone past I will turn the inner eye to see their path. Where the work-need has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
@whitequark@lisamelton I had a job right after a death march startup where I refused to work weekends or work late. It took three years before my boss and my cow-orkers realized I was right and stopped penalizing me for it. The product got dramatically better after that.
