Working Weekends

As a freelancer working from home, I try to set my schedule for Monday through Friday but find myself often times grabbing my computer and getting some work done on the weekend. This has me wondering, why do I let it happen? It's the weekend, I should be taking the time to enjoy it and stepping away from work.

Last weekend I managed to not work until late Sunday when I caught up on some e-mails and accounting work. But this weekend came along and inspiration hit and before I knew it, I had worked 4 hours last night on a new concept for a client. It helps me get a jump start ahead for the week, but instead, why didn't I just grab a book and relax on the couch or watch a movie instead?
