Learn English – Is this sentence correct? “I’m working in a way that is unrelated to weekend and holidays.”

expressions

Mainly I'm working in my home with my laptop, so I take day-off when I need it. When I want to explain this, I say

I'm working in a way that is unrelated to weekend and holidays.

But I feel there is a more easy-to-understand expression.

How would you say if you were me?

Best Answer

I'm not a native speaker but I googled and found the word flextime.

Judging by the Wikipedia article, you can say

I work flexible hours.

or

I have a flexible working schedule.

If you want to somehow use the words "weekends" and "holidays" in the sentence, you might say

I have no fixed weekends and holidays, and my working schedule is flexible. It is me who decides when to have a weekend or a holiday.

If you just say

I have no fixed weekends and holidays.

... the listener might misinterpret that as "I have a very demanding job, and cannot be sure that I'll be off-work on a particular weekend or holiday".

If you have no boss, that is, if you are self-employed, you might say just that to explain why you have no rigid work schedule:

I am self-employed, thus my working schedule is free and has no fixed weekends or holidays.

I'm a freelancer, thus the terms "weekends" and "holidays" do not apply to my work routine. I work when I need to, and I take rest when I feel like it.
