  "account": "Do you work on Sundays to get ahead for the week? Business Insider is asking readers to take a survey and share their thoughts on the matter. For some workers, Sunday has become another opportunity to make progress towards their goals for the upcoming week. However, this practice can also eat into valuable downtime and leave little time for rest and relaxation. Executive coach Shane Arthur warned against working on Sundays to get ahead. Instead, he advised carving out time during the week so work doesn't eat into time for rest and other priorities. Microsoft reported a notable increase in email activity on weekends in 2025, indicating that some workers have embraced this Sunday-to-Monday work routine. Arthur recommended blocking off an hour on Monday morning to plan for the upcoming week, even for non-managerial employees. Setting aside time on Friday afternoon to review the previous week and prepare for the next can also help workers stay organized and avoid burnout. Arthur's advice stands in contrast to the hustle culture emerging in Silicon Valley, as debates about the viability of the grindslop and the 996 work model continue. At Business Insider, readers are invited to express their opinion on working on Sunday to get ahead for the week. Is it an effective way to manage workloads, or could it lead to burnout? Take the survey and let us know your thoughts.",
