I voted six, as that's the maximum I work. I make a habit of taking at least one day off per week, usually Sunday. But I don't translate six days every week. It depends on my workload and what other commitments I have.

I am available from Monday to Friday and on weekends on demand. Actual working days naturally depend on work charge

I work seven days per week when I have work, and rest when I don't.

7 days a week, usually 10 hours a day, several weeks in a row. Sometimes only 5 or 6 hours on Saturday and/or Sunday.
Then, I take "a long week-end" off (from Wednesday to Monday, for instance).
Contrarily to 41.6% of colleagues (see poll by Sylvie Mathis, the other day), I NEVER work while travelling.

In boom times I am fully employed basically five days a week and at least half a day on Saturday, occasionally on Sunday, but I try to avoid it.
During slow periods, there is still at least a bit of something every day, occasionally a zero day.
If not fully employed the 5-6 days in a given week, I might be more willing to work on a Sunday.

I've had periods of two or three consecutive weeks with no day off - including doing accounting on Sundays when there is no other day available -, but I do not believe that it is healthy to maintain such a pace for more than that.
