I have a job Monday to Friday.
Then working on IM on Saturday and Sunday stresses me out and makes me angry and depressed. There is also no guarantee this IM will work.

Also I have to do household chores since I can’t afford a cleaning lady.

I don’t wanna go insane depressed.
How do you cope with working on the weekend without it affecting you badly?
 
I've been working 7/24 for last 2 years. You don't cope or get used to it. Sometimes you get burned out so bad you wanna throw your computer out of the window. Think about the reason why you are working that hard and try to motivate yourself (only semi-working coping mechanism).

WTF dude, 99.99% of the world does not have a cleaning lady (except the Guru @Gogol ) it is really not a common thing to have that, welcome to some fckn reality, clean your own shit FFS, are you a brat or what? Getting depressed of doing your own dishes, vacuum the floors and washing your own dirty brown striped underwear, holy shit. The world is fckn coming to an end it seems.

What kind of Prince are you?
 
Well i am also in your situation as i have a 8 hour job for monday to friday and i work weekends also plus i work 1 hour or 2 after my job
The motivation for me its that i think that working will allow me to be free ,build my biggest dream and travel around the world
 
I can't stand a day without spending at least a couple of hours doing some stuff, my days off are meant to monitor, plan and make some research, I spend a fair percentage of the day outside and some time with friends tho, that keeps me refreshed

Hey, if you replace cleaning lady with a dishwasher, atleast the dishwasher won’t demand bonus and increment. :p
 
if you earn more than you expected then weekends also joyful too

Bro, u triggered by the idea of having a maid? ;) He's probably from 'tier 3' country, middle class in India, Sri Lanka have access to maids as a norm lol. It's not Europe. My sri lankan friends were absolutely terrified by the idea of me cutting my hair myself and begged me to go to their favourite hairdresser instead (not that people in Europe don't go to hair salons, lol, but you get the idea - they didn't want me to do things by myself *giggles*). On the other hand - no urban planning so everything looks like shit.

@elliot_ At least you have a job. Many people don't have that. Don't want to work on weekends? Work in the evenings after work or get up earlier before work and hustle then. Yep, IM is not guaranteed to work, especially with all the drama now. Everyone and their dog wants to work on the internet, beware - not all of these people will be able to succeed.
 
Maybe it teaches you how to manage your time and in the process making additional income.

Hi,

It’s really important to set boundaries. Scheduling specific breaks and giving yourself time to rest can help prevent burnout. As for the household chores, maybe breaking them into smaller, manageable tasks throughout the week could ease the weekend load.

Do you have any hobbies or activities that help you unwind after a long day? Sometimes, even a small distraction can make a big difference.
 
I work sunday 12-8 and it is pretty draining since sunday is day of rest usually haha :D
 
Mate, If chores and side hustles are turning you into a stress ball, maybe it’s time to drop one of ‘em!

Nothing says you can’t kick back once in a while without the sky falling.
 
You problem is daytime job and then you want to do im rest of the time which is hard to do already and then household work. Live in a service apartment or motel. This will freeup all your time tied to chores.
