    I have a fulltime job during the week from 7:45 - 5:15. Then, when I get home I can work on side projects. So nights and weekends are crucial to me getting work done on side projects like my own business.

    I agree, it all depends on whether I have urgent work to do - or if I'm even in. If work comes through and I'm out of the house on a Sunday, it isn't exactly a crime to leave it until 9am on the Monday morning. However, if I'm in when work comes through - it can be great customer service to respond instantly; especially on a Sunday.

    I think most business owners everyday is some form or fashion unless they're able to get out of the office (or home). Something is always on my mind...and to me that's working.

    For me I used Sunday as a family day.. You don't need to work in your rest day, you also need to rest and give your extra time with your family.. Although sometimes, workaholic entrepreneur used their Sunday to work it is because they are workaholic person.. Well, as others said, it depends upon situations.. If it is really urgent, then finish it as soon as you can to give some time to your family..

    Most of the time, NO. I considered Sunday as a time for relaxation. Let us not forget our responsibility towards our family

    I'm single with no drama so yes, about half of them. I prefer to keep it light though, office cleaning, filing, organizing and planning for the week.

    After getting burned out from working 6-7 days a week for years. I now have a personal rule that I take Sundays off. I now know that I need to give my body and even more importantly my mind a day of rest. This is where it gets challenging because my mind wants to start thinking about business. So I am very aware of being present in the moment to enjoy my time off, because I know that I will have plenty of time come Monday morning to think about business.

    Unheard of "work on sundays". On Sunday I'm kicking back with a cold one it's the one day of rest I tend to get throughout the whole week. Some unwinding time is essential for me otherwise I think i'd turn crazy, what's the saying, "all work and no play" haha

    I definitely agree with the unwinding time, but I just don't always use Sundays. Sometimes it's nice to go on a wednesday afternoon or friday morning and take some relax time. Get something done for me like some shopping or haircut or things like that. More businesses are open and the change of pace works better for me than the monday-saturday routine. I work when I have to and relax when I can I guess.

    I think you have to make time for a social life, but I am not opposed to working on Sundays.
