Re: Camgirl Time Management?
Thank you for this thread!!! I need it. It's a coincidence you should make this plan as today I came up with my RNP - Revolutionary New Plan!
Currently this is my..er... thing..
I can see how this will work out for me: I will spend all of my time making To-Do lists, and procrastinate by doodling shit over it... Must... start....doing.... something!
I think I'll start doing by time frames as well.
Or I might start bribing myself: If I kick ass today, I get to treat myself to a present of some sort! Or playing on the Wii or PSP. Ohhhh gaming, how I miss thee!
Re: Camgirl Time Management?
There is an old post on here somewhere where the girls recommended using a kitchen timer to time yourself to do things. Ever since I started doing that I have gotten a lot done.

Re: Camgirl Time Management?
I try to keep my life scheduled. I know when I'm going on cam (8pm) and I know how long it takes to prep for cam (2.5hrs). And then once I'm on cam I pretty much work through to bedtime (7am). So that means any shit I need to get done has to be done while the shops are open. If I know I've got stuff to take care of I'll wake up around 1pm, otherwise I sleep in a bit. And sometimes I'll do my prep as soon as I wake up if I'm doing something I want to be hot for. But having that schedule makes it easy to take care of everything that needs to get done.
Re: Camgirl Time Management?
I'm so bad at time management.I LOVE sleeping so that eats most of my time up.
Re: Camgirl Time Management?
Here's my day.
-Wake up around 2pm
-Wasting time. Possibly lazily caking on make-up and watching cartoons.
-About 7pm... oh. I guess I'll load up the cam. I need to pay rent or something.
-7:30 pm... I QUIT I'M BORED LOL I could be cleaning or something.
-7am. I spent all night on paranormal forums. I wasted the whole night. Going to bed.
Rinse and repeat. I think I have you all beat. I'm the worst time manager. What is wrong with me? I'm sure a lazy, aloof slob.
Been forcing myself to put in 5 hours lately though. Made enough to pay my bills in 2 days. That was motivational.

here's an article I read about time management while working at home. ;-)

It definitely helped me!
Re: Camgirl Time Management?
I'm resurrecting this post because I've switched from nights to days, and I'm having to change around how I manage things. I'd love to hear from other girls who have switched from nights to days successfully, and how you manage your time.

I take two naps a day. Ive been on a weird sleep schedule since October and sometimes I do feel over tired. But then I just take a day off from the major stuff. I still do private shows and take calls but I also have a mainstream business. So I sleep from 10pm-3am then I start getting ready for my day. I mostly work on side projects, read and respond to emails, take phone calls. By the time all of thats done my regulars are waking up with morning wood and Im busy for about two hours straight. Then Im out the door at around 8am. Somtimes sooner if my morning was slow. I work to about 2pm then go home to take another nap.

Re: Camgirl Time Management?
Great topic to resurrect!
Single mom here and do a bit of community/volunteer actions.
I am a healthy eater and working on a garden (trying to up the % of food we consume as home grown) which means cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner and then having THAT many dishes to wash.
I can only go online when my kid is at school, which means after dropping off, coming home and leaving to go pick up from school, I get about 4-5 hours if I rush with make up and hair and cut my doggies walk short. So tmes like now when SM is total crap and I don't really have other baskets, it is soo dificult to figure out how to manage an extra 8 hours of online when I have used up all 24 hours!
Anyways,
since I don't really have time to sit and read, I do audiobooks. Been doing some time management and getting sh*t done books :-) I saw some comments on to do lists.
One thing I learned from the books is DO NOT DO TO DO LISTS!
Instead, put items in your calendar/planner/organizer.
Also setting habits is crucial. They take time, from 21 days to 80 days depending on the complexity of the habit. IF you have bad habits, they say look at the trigger, then the reward. Replace the new habit so it will have the trigger and same reward, just the habit will be different.
Those who exercise regularly have an easier time sticking to schedules and good habits. Also making your bed in the morning makes you more productive.
Some suggestions say to do 30 minute blocks or even 15 minute block schedules. Make sure to leave some blank, some free time. (I'm still working on that one, lol)
One good one is 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time Management. Short, simple but helpful if you aren't great at time management. A good starting point (y)

Its not as bad as it sounds. I get to see the sun rise every morning and by the time I'm walking out the door I've already gotten so much done. And I don't feel rushed vs. waking up at 7am and out the door at 8am. It puts me in a better mood, plus for me there's something very soothing about being awake when everyone else is sleeping. This sleep pattern also allows me to be around friends and family at "normal" hours too. I thought I would change up come January but I think I may keep this schedule for awhile.

Good point about not creating list. They make me feel like a failure if I don't complete the entire list also I feel rushed. But now I record myself or create memos that can be accessed from my phone or desktop. I then set notifications to remind me of the different ideas I've had. :) And I set them to go off at random times so it's like I'm constantly motivated. It helps me to use the sounds of birds chirping for the notifications, sometimes other silly sounds. People think I'm crazy.
Re: Camgirl Time Management?
I am queen of procrastination so, I make sure my To- Do list is short and has simple tasks (wash dishes, do your nails, workout, change bedsheets, etc).
Since I know myself how lazy I am, the possibility of doing all the things on the list (even, for a more organized person would be possible) is very low.
Example of my today "to do list"
- Workout
- Wash dishes (I recently bought a dishwasher and I can't wait to install it and not havign to do dishes anymore)
- Clean up bathroom.
That's it.
Tomorow I have to do laundry, do my nails and workout.
Then, the next day I have to workout, dust the furniture and clean up floors, put a face and hair mask and do my eyebrows.
When everything is checked on the list, I feel better, even is only 3 simple tasks. At least they are done, instead of having a huge list and do nothing.
Later edit: I forgot to add that, this is how my list looks in my working days. When I am not working, my To do list gets a bit bigger. Not with much, but I am adding 3-4 more tasks.
Re: Camgirl Time Management?
Since I have had to go online after putting kid to bed and doing my nightly shores, I wake up sooo tired. Now I hit the snooze which just sets me back, affecting my whole day and has become a bad habit. So when my alarm goes off I give myself 10 minutes, at the end of that ten minutes I have to have done 5 burpees. That's it!
But just that little accomplishment allows me to tackle everything so much better.
Can't get more time, but we can get more energy :-) so much more productive!

That's awesome!
Those are the good habits to establish. Once you have a rythm it is so much easier.

Re: Camgirl Time Management?
I do a schedule with 30 minute blocks! Also bullet journals are super popular right now and I've heard great things. I've kept a to-do list journal for years, would definitely recommend! I make sure to color code my schedule and to-do list to make it's something I want to look at and play with. ^_^ I think for me realizing that my schedule would change and SHOULD change according to what I'm doing is important since I'm on so many sites with so many different projects. Trying to stick with one thing for too long can actually hinder my progress, change is good for me! This is what my schedule will look like after I'm done healing from surgery:

And this is what my to-do list looks like (blacked out some things to keep customer's info safe):
