This is what I need to do also! Come on Fridays we can do this!! Let's promise that tomorrow we'll do 8 hours. Doesn't have to be all at once. Do it in lots of a few hours. Then we'll take each day as it comes :)
I'm gonna participate in this as well haha and I am gonna do my regular hours on non free cam (which is way more than 8 hrs a day) but then I am going to do 8 hours on free cam sites tomorrow! Damn I love this forum it's so motivating!

You know something else about that Calico? I know that you and I did cam, then modeled then came back to cam. The money in cam for me has dropped by like, half, since I started doing it. Some of my old best earner sites closed and then MFC got popular and the economy went down. I used to make 200 in an hour when I first started. Now I consider it a good hour if I've done over 100.
You think it's changed that much? When did you start cam? I started cam only a year ago, in January or February. Took off some time to have real world sexytimes and now back on cam again.
I feel like I'm making the same.
I had to start a new account too, so I am still re-finding the old regulars and I lost all my old referral money. LET THIS BE A LESSON: LET NOT THY ACCOUNT LAPSE.
But yeah, still making the same $50-$75 an hour. Sometimes at night I make $100/hr or more but I don't usually work nights.

This is my attitude as well...I try to focus more on keeping my hourly average high. (i.e. work less, make more) It's basically a straight commission job so I try to focus on the $$ instead of hours/day. Works for me!
Who says you have to work an 8-hour day? If staying put for that long overwhelms and demotivates you, try thinking of it a different way. What I do is set a daily goal for myself. I log on and stay on until I reach it. Then I don't feel like, "Oh, I have to be here 5 more hours!" If I make my goal before then, I can log off; however, I am usually so pumped after I make my goal that I stay on longer.
Also, definitely take frequent breaks: eat, nap, watch tv, read, listen to music, go for a walk, etc. You don't have to stay put for 8 hours. Break it up through out the day when you can just as the girls have suggested. Good luck! :)

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have the damnedest time doing things I dislike on a regular basis.
Passion is the best productivity booster. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: "Stop following goals you are reluctant to pursue, and start following those that keep you up at night with excitement." This may not be the answer you're looking for, but it's real. I had to learn to stop basing all of my goals around camming. My camming goals are minimal, then I devote the remainder of my time to developing/marketing my digital design business; which is the thing I don't have to harass myself to work on since I actually enjoy it.
Another tip would be to move camming into your "sweet spot", so that you have more fun doing it. For example, my sweet spot entails: not having to do free chat (even on SM I don't use it, I ignore it and I mention in my profile and room topic that that's how I run my room), 3hrs then break, shows without penetration (only Femdom and only the fetishes I truly enjoy), and lastly, I wear latex as much as possible because it turns me on. Set your profile up to serve YOU. When you can be most genuine, you won't feel so drained.
In any event, you can do anything you set your mind to; it's just easier if you enjoy the things you set your mind to do :)

Chatzy!..... talk shit ....play a game...don't give freechat,undivided attention......works for me
im a slave to the sound effect!! lol originally i used to stand here and there depending on my mood..( my add i can't sit still) but of course there is always sum1 coming in talking that can i see ur body whatever.. so instead of standing every 2 sec i have a automated # i press that says u can tip for the following requests and that works(u can def tell the ones w $ vs the ones w out $) i try to multitask while camming but i find myself every time i hear the notification some1 is int he room i switch tabs, say hi ect.. only to eventually get pissed at those that sit there and dnt say nothing..lol ( i have a automated button that says its rude to not respond to me if i take the time to acknowledge you in my room) that gets them talking.. then when i ignore them and try to only respond when im in paid pvt or exclusive of course i see some1 tried asking me a question of do i have something in pvt... ugh.. then i go back to undivided attention to free chat.. the cycle continues til i get bored or tired of the bs and log off... :(

Thank God- I thought it was only me. Yeah, I guess breaking them up is the best bet. Also, alternating between free chat and paid chat because both are tiring in their own way. Also, getting out of the house for a couple of hours as others have said. I kind of like GlamourRouge's idea of 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening. That seems do-able.
