Update often or not? (feddit.de)

Do you update your Arch often (daily) or not?
Which would be better?

I figure, if I update every day, I'll likely not expect any issues, so I'd be less careful. And if something goes wrong (cause I didn't read the news or the PKGBUILDs), I probably won't have time to fix it right now.
Whereas if I update monthly, it's something I'm taking my time to do, read the news beforehand, pay more attention and will have scheduled some time for it.

What's your take?

I update every weekend because that's when I have time to fix the issues that (rarely) come up because of updates. I also update and restart if there's a problem I don't understand as a way to try to solve that.
