Ask HN: How do you prefer to spend your weekends?
Actively swtiched off? Time with family? Working on side projects? Errands? A little bit of each?

Saturday - Chess club in the morning followed by a leisurely lunch/reading in a comfortable coffee shop.
Sunday I spend with the family.
It wasn't intentional but having Saturday to myself til the evening meal is awesome for unwinding from a busy work week, everyone needs (or at least should try) genuine unplugged alone time (particularly so for natural introverts like me).

I just like working, so on weekends, I either work on a side projet or I work for a startup.
Working let me build things, and be creative, I can't manage to stop working. If I don't work I feel like my time is lost

Every other Saturday I help out at a cat shelter, then have lunch at my "Saturday" cafe and work on my personal project while there. That evening I usually make cat food, watch dumb YouTube videos, and work on my project some more. When I'm not going to the shelter I sleep in a little and then go to the gym instead.
Sundays are usually chore days focused on animals and cleaning (well, we're trying to get better with the cleaning). This is when I do a water change for the fish, go shopping for meat for the cat food (and then prep the food), get any other cat supplies I might need, take the cat/s for a walk or supervise them on the porch, and tidy the house. Once all the pressing chores are done I work on my personal project and watch dumb YouTube videos.

Spending as much time not under a roof as possible. This typically means whitewater kayaking or climbing. This is the only way I can stay sane while having a desk job.
Ever actively switched off: videogames, gym ( if I didn't go enough in the other days), cleaning the house, going out, oversleeping and, in general, relaxing
I prefer not to distinguish weekends from weekdays. So every day is a mix of work, hobbies, and play.
With 3 & 5 yr old there is a lot to do and not much choice to do a tonne of leisure activities. If I get some spare minutes I'll do some hacking on some side projects, go for a walk, grab a coffee or something.
Playing games and reading HN/the internet. Going out for drinks. There should definitely be more gym in there in place of all of those things.
I think I get more work done on the weekends then I do the rest of the normal 5 day work week.
Do as little as possible... e.g. sleep, eat, drink with friends, read books and watch tv...
how would i prefer ? Couch surfing...
how do i usually spend ? Working by morning and running errands with mrs.
Playing golf.
