I can but not on the free chat sites. I try to alternate but I have to take a break from the free chat idiots after awhile. I'm trying to raise my tolerance.

I don't work a strict schedule due to family responsibilities and dealing with a few health problems but I do try to do at least 8 hours 5 to 6 days a week, but thats only counting time logged in to AW and a couple more sites like that.
If I had to work streamate those long hours in free chat I'd go nuts. I'm trying to up my time on there too though because it brings in a lot of $ for the time I put in. I just wish my tolerance were higher!

I'm working on getting up to 8 hours a day. I am now up to 5 hours on the days that I work.. which are 4-5 days a week. My goal is to be up to 8 hours a day by next month, 5 days a week. I have a lack of motivation for staying on long hours, so I just ignore and get on cam anyway... Not easy though :/

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
i can't. i'm trying. i've noticed the times i pulled successful eight hour days i was able to break it up - like 3 hours, 3 hours, 2 hours. i want to do 4 hours, break, 4 hours but i haven't managed that yet.

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
yes you can:) girl, you have an awesome work ethic- you KNOW it's more a matter of motivation than inability. Break up the day into 3 three-hour shifts, or 2 four-hour shifts. Go for a run, get some exercise inbetween, catch up with friends, step AWAY from the computer. Seriously, you know you can do this. As incentive, set yourself an 8 hour monetary goal, something really high, and grant yourself permission to log off before 8 hours if you reach it early. I really appreciate you making this thread cuz you're kinda known here for being a kick-ass cammer...I bet lots of people experience what you're feeling yet don't feel comfortable posting it.
You could also introduce a new site if you currently work one or two, just to mix things up a little, or cam at different times if you're tired of encountering the same people all the time.
Also, be honest with yourself about what you really want...quality of life is just as important as $$$$, provided that you are consistently banking, which I know you are:) Is the extra $$$ worth the extra hours when you'd rather be doing something else? How valuable are those couple extra hours each day-everything is a trade-off, right? If it's just a matter of getting on cam though, just log in...it's way easier after a few mins online than it feels when you're offline, I think that's true for most of us:) Do that for at least a month, and if you're miserable, step back and re-assess :)
peace and $$$$$$

Chatzy!..... talk shit ....play a game...don't give freechat,undivided attention......works for me

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
Maybe try starting out small.. like make it a goal to do one 8 hour day a week and then the next week up it to two.. etc etc

haaa! Me too Fridays!
but I think MzStar's advice is golden.
I'm gonna give that a shot today and see how much free chat time I can take.

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
im thinking of writing down my goals and taping it up behind my laptop or like create stickeys with mantras and stick em everywhere

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
By the end of an 8 hour day at a vanilla job, I feel pretty "bla" too :p. If I had it my way, my "work day" work be 5-6 hours a day. Hah. 8 hours is so long!!!

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
whenever i plan to do a lot of hours it doesn't work!! then i keep checking how many hours i did...like omg that was only 3 hours and i gotta do 5 more :O
if i just work and keep on telling myself a little more i do way better. like say i check the time and its 8:20. i will say ok i'll just work till 9 and then sometimes i realize its 9:15 and i'm like ok i can go till 9:30 and then at 9:30 i'm like ok i can go to 10..etc

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
Totally agreed! And I always look at you as an example of a hard worker, so don't stomp on my illusion LOL. Go get it girl :D

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((

C'mon ladies pleaassseeeee :P

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
You soooo can do this hun! I try to do 10 hrs a day 5 days a week and a few hours at weekends. My schedule is: Mon-Fri 11am-5pm then back on 9pm-1am sat 12-3pm Sun 12-3pm. Someimes I log on late but stay late, during the week I always take a lunch hour. If I don't feel like I can be arsed I just say to myself, 'what would I be doing instead?' answers, watching tv, doing house work etc etc and not making money! And that is all the motivation I need lol. I mainly cam on AW and nearly always have free chat on, but yeah I get pissed of with that sometimes and turn it of or I will switch to SM. I use time away from camming to really chill out that's why I try not to work Saturday and Sunday evenings. Deffinately break the hours up into smaller slots, spread it more, damn 8 hours straight? thats a 'normal' job, didn't most of us get into camming to get away from the 9-5 min wage? Maybe give yourelf little rewards for staying on for say 2 hrs straight? So you have something to look forward to inbetween slots?
Now I don't wanna spoil that gorgous face with a punch so if you would just bend over...........

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
If I can stay on for four hours straight, what's four hours more? ;)
-
Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
I've been sooo bad recently working about half of the hours that I should be working. I know the money there but motivation is a killer :( My goal is going to add about 5 hours each week somewhere until I get up to the amount of hours I would like to be working.

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
I'm working up to it again after taking a few weeks vacation.
I get a headache though. I turned the brightness on my monitors down halfway, so we'll see how that goes tonight.

YOU my dear, have just made me Kick. Camming. ASS today! :D This post is serious inspiration to me, and being in a similar position to Fridays, I found it really hard to cam for so long. Splitting my hours up today has made things crazy-good. Yesterday I missed a whole day of camming due to some life shit. I was so deflated yesterday night because I still had my goal to reach and had NO idea how to do it. I logged on for two hours this morning. Made a nice amount - enough to spark up my enthusiasm. Logged off.. Went back on again after three hours and raked in more AND loaded up over $100 from just ONE guy in the process. If I hadn't have logged on just then, I may not have caught him. If I'd have stuck to my original hours, I may never have caught him. Planning my work like this has rekindled so much of my flame for this job: Sure you, you may still get more free-loaders than you feel you can stand sometimes, BUT you never know who you will get next and just how much they will spend on you. Awesome guys come on at all different times and we need to catch 'em! (Gotta catch 'em ALL!! ....Yeah! Look upon camming as Pokemon!... SEXY MONEY POKEMON!) I have SURPASSED my goal working like this and most importantly: I still don't feel the slightest bit burnt out because my hours have been spaced out! I'm still ready to rock in a few hours from now! THANK YOU LOVESHOOKS!

I regularly do 8 hours. Sometimes I even do 12. I just do it. No secrets to it, I just log on, do my hours and log off. Then again, I actually have fun on cam so most nites I'm excited to log on....that also helps lol

Re: I just can not work 8 hours/day!!! :(( Whyyyy! :((
This is my first time posting but I am in a similar situations at Fridays.. Being on mfc more than 3 hours at a time gets frustating.. They ask why do you look mad? Well if you was tipping maybe I'll have something to smile about! lol. This site is very inspirational though. I check it at least 3 times a day to see how us cam girls are coping with these problems.
