Can You Work Seven Days A Week?

BEfore I can say yes, I can work seven days a week. But now that I have y own family, Sunday is always our bonding time. Sundays is our family days. But when needed at my work, I could still work on sundays every now and then.

working within one week? no, i won't do that. my life is precious to me that is why i need to take care of my health. if i will get sick, who will enjoy the fruits of my labor. my hardships would not worth it all. trying hard to balance my daily activities where i can enjoy also. work, rest, enjoy...

Yes, I can work a week straight. In fact, I've worked 12 days straight without any days off before. And even though I was completely bushed by the time my day off came around, had my boss asked me to work I would have said yes and gone in. Thank goodness she didn't though! I don't think I would have ever survived! LOL Happy mylotting!

I've been doing it for about 20 years... I've always had a full time job... I do work as a translator part time so whenever I'm off from my full time job, I'm working as a translator... I just came back from vacation... I get 3 weeks of vacations from my full time job & whenever I go on vacation, I work as a translator... I went to Ocean City, MD & while I'm n my hotel room, few hours a day, I got on my laptop & work on few documents & call few clients...

I had once asked the same question to one of my friends.He said he was unable to work in the office for a whole week without having a weekend to get relaxed.But he said he can easily work continuously for seven days if he has to do his own works at home.He was right.I too can't do my office works continuously for seven days.It is extremely tiring.

don't be too workaholic, your body needs to rest. what is money when your having a restless works. how to enjoy the fruit of your labor, if you are already prohibited by the doctor not eat or do this and that. balance things because we are all just passers in this world. live and enjoy

I can do so,I have done,but to do that for a Year?! Include Me out... If We're busy at work,and short staffed for some reason,I will help out,but as we don't get overtime,I expect a bit of "I scratch their back,they scratch mine.." If I need some time off for whatever reason.. I'm working with a Guy who worked on a Cruise Ship,and He's telling me for the duration of the cruise they (the staff) don't have a day off-they get to relax once back in Port.I'm sure the Money's good,but just work and thinking about work,being stuck in that environment 24/7...it sounds like a good way to burn out to Me. Having worked in the hotel business myself,some places provide staff accommodation on site so you don't have to travel "home"..on the plus side,being late shouldn't be a problem (Or an excuse?!)but it can also mean you can be easily reached if the need arises,but at least you're entitled to your time off.. On the other hand,even with this workload,you must get to have a break sometime..consider what it must be like for the crew of a Nuclear powered submarine..they can stay out as long as the food lasts...

I am working 7 days a week at the moment, but it is only a temperary thing. I have two jobs at the moment because many of my co-workers have gone on the vacation in July. I do their work while that are away and in the August when some of my other co-workers are going on vacation I will do their work, too. I am happy to earn some extra money for my trip and I don't mind working 7 days a week in July and August. I have never tried to work 7 days a week for a whole year. The longest period that I have worked seven days a week was from March to November, so that was nine months. It was hard and I didn't have time for much else, but I could really use the extra money and I don't regret working so hard.

I am a Supervisor in a BPO company without having an Assistant because she is studying. Which means that if our client tells us to extend in order to finish a particular task, then I will be obliged to report even on Sundays in order to output a particular file...I really can't always do it because I still have to wash my clothes during Sundays...if I will be reporting to work every Sundays, then I will have to go home early during weekdays just to wash my clothes....

I have worked 7 days a week before and do not like it, I love the money it brings in but then failed to find the time to spend it. I do not mind doing it every now and again to help the business out but to do it every single week is not good no point working all the hours 7 days a week if you too tired to go out and spend it. If I was just going to work mornings or afternoons like 4-5hrs per day and not 10hrs then I would not have any problems doing this everyday because I would still have the time to enjoy the money I have made and get to spend the day with my family.

When I am single and broken heart yes I can work seven days a week and even for the whole year without day off because I want to be always occupied in many thing but i found out its not healthy, physically and emotionally. Now that I am married I preferred to work only during weekdays so that I can have enough time for my husband during weekends. Also having weekends off helps me to regain strength and relax after a stressful week.

If you enjoy what you're doing then why not. Depending on the type of work that you're doing of course. If you're going to be super busy and super stressed out. It will be hard and not advisable. If it's a laidback and relax job then yes you and even me can do it. But if you put it 1 whole year without break then no. Even if i can, i will not do it. There are other things that i wanted to do apart from working. They are not related at all so it is not good to work 365 days without stop.

Phoenix wow You are really a workhorse.You don't get bored?If I do the same thing continuously for a couple of hours,then I am sure to get bored.This mentality is not helping me,I guess it depends on the Individual. I can't do the same work everyday of the week.5 days a week is all that I can handle.I will go crazy,if I had to work on weekends.I can't even imagine such a situation.But part time job can be good,if its not that torturous to my eyes and also gives me a reasonable income.

Nope i can never work without off days. whenever im at wok what i look forward to are the off says to sit back, relax and enjoy. Without that time will pass so much slower and work will be dreadful.

My body might be able to accomodate this, but i think i will not be able to sustain it long. i am used to having two day offs and of course, it is really not healthy for people to be working 7 days with no rest... :D I think even if the pay is good, if you won't even be able to have a rest or a day to use the money you earned then its probably useless. :P

I don't think that I can work a whole year without having a break or I will be crazy. In the school where I work, I work for more than ten days, usually twelve or thirteen or fifteen. The longest days we work are eighteen days. Then we have a holidays for four days. This is mainly because our students come from different areas or cities. With the four days' rest, they can go back home after having so many days of classes. Sometimes I cannot suffer it and long for a holiday and so it is with the students who have to study for so many days on campus. It is simple a kind of pleasure when our holidays come. Take care, phoenix.

When I was in my early twenties, I can work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. I was working in an electronics company that time that manufacture electronic brake system for known car companies. I earn big that time but have limited social life. I can only sleep 4.5 hours a day. I was able to manage that schedule that time but I don't think I can still do it at present. I felt weaker when I reached 30.

A whole year? Are you insane? I don't even want the feeling of going to work. Lazy me! But I have been there and done that one. I did worked for twenty two straight days without day off. To top that one of, I worked more than twelve hours per day in that situation. But I did that and I don't want to do that ever again! I felt like I am about to get sick. Sick of work! Good thing I really didn't got sick during those times. That is why I already looked for another job before that situation fall on me again!

I believe i can work seven days a week. I did work at one of the local health product chain store and I need to work everyday including sunday for half a day. Of course I would prefer to have rest for a day or two to relax and maybe spend some time with my family and friends. Not to forget my girlfriend as I don't think I accompany her enough which will definitely proved to be a bad thing. Don't work seven days if you have the choice.
