				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just thought about this whilst checking work emails at the weekend. Are we too connected? Now I agree that being able to access everything, all the time is a wonderful thing, but by emailing on a Saturday, or weeknight, are we creating a 24hr culture for ourselves?</p>
<p>Do you have to make a consious effort to not check emails over the weekend or just finish off that markup before going to bed?</p>
<p>I am sure that a lot of the self-employed people are thinking &#8220;that&#8217;s nothing new&#8221; but is it something you feel obliged to do, or do you feel it adds value to your service to be contactable throughout the week.</p>
<p>This is probably the least constructed blog post to date, but I would like to hear your thoughts on the situation.</p>
