Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Hi! I'm just starting out (again), and since my epilepsy has gotten worse... so have my ADHD symptoms. I'm doing everything correct on my end in that I'm physically doing well but... my focus is pretty shoddy at the best of times. I don't want to look bored or distracted, because I'm not. But when the room is kind of dead and I'm on my own, it's excrutiating to not be doing something for my brain, and just talking to myself and fiddling around with my stuff isn't enough. I don't like to open too many websites because if I get too into the internet, I will end up talking about whatever I get into, whether it's politics or Neopets (which, by the way, is a lot of fun if you're bored and better at focusing than my brain allows me to be).
So... what do you actually DO when it's dead? Activity-wise?
Language learning study on cam? Arts and crafts? Tarot and witchcraft? Can I start folding laundry, but sexy? Ritual sacrifice for non-nude, long privates? Instructional gardening videos or true crime stories? I used to just be able to chill and hum and sing and dream or whatever. Now I stare into the middle distance, and I look like I'm contemplating the universe with X-ray vision, scared.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
^^^I really like crossword puzzles; they're good because they don't require a lot of focus and work fine with being interrupted constantly.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Oh, I love those! Or the word puzzles where you get the list and you have to figure out where they all fit together. That's a great idea, thank you!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I switched up my hours today, only by default because I got up early for once in my life, lol.
I was in shows and getting tips for the entire time.
Love when that happens!
It gave me the energy to stay on for 3 hours.
I would have stayed on longer, but I was starving.
Once I eat, good luck getting back on.
No worries, because I exceeded my goal.
Woohoo!

I have ADHD too, haven't been able to find an effective medication I can tolerate as of yet.
I put in a little bluetooth (mine is so tiny you can't even notice it, fits almost all the way in my ear and then my hair covers it) and I listen to all kinds of stuff, podcasts, audio books, youtube. I run my computer audio through it too so cam2cam doesn't give feedback.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I've been working on my mental fortitude when it comes to hours and today... I streamed 7 hours!!! I took 3 hours of breaks(10 hrs total), but it's still such a big improvement. Going to keep trying to get tougher like y'all~ ❤️❤️

Hey! I have ADHD too, seems a lot of us ladies do, and your brain sounds familiar ha. I am mainly on Streamate which is overall a private only site, therefore I am only switched 'on' when someone comes into my room and then in the show itself. I read or watch films in another tab in between people coming into my room, with Streamate mic muted whilst I do that, I go on here, sometimes do admin tasks that need doing. With what you describe I did really struggle on token sites and just keep them as a back up.

Well done hun! Super inspiring!

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Also in the ADHD gang lol. I've downloaded Kindle for PC, so what I do during shifts that are slow is just read books. I choose books that aren't super detailed, just cos it's a lot to pay attention to on cam, and then rotate them so that I don't get bored. I've read way more than normal, and it really helps the hours pass. Some days it even helps me get online because I'm excited to return to my book, and it's the same with staying on. Hell, some days I stay past my hours goal because I'm so engrossed in the book LOL.
-
Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I do exactly the same with the Kindle app! I just open it in another tab.
A thought ladies, do you think it's worth starting an ADHD support thread or does this exist already?
Starting my hopefully minimum 4 hours today. Let's gooooo

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I'm not as full of energy today and SM is dead. Please Cam Goddess, have mercy on me. A bitch is tired and needs this money. Ugh. I hope I can get through 5 hours this afternoon.

Amazing! This is the motivation I need! Committing to at least 3 hours but hoping for 5 if the vibe is right
1.5 hours, $83. paying customers few and far between. 3 hours is my only goal right now
2.5 hours, $83. still down to stick around. I think I can hang for at least another hour. I'm watching the second season of project runway discretely :). Might even eat pizza live on cam

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
3-4 hour goal today. 1.5 hours in. Determined to hit a total of 20 this week.
-
Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
I stayed on until I made $100.
It took me 3 hours, but I'm proud of myself for staying on.
It was completely dead for the first 2 hours, yikes.
Note to self: Quit trying to make money during the day.
The freaks come out at night.:jester::smiley_ma:joke:

omg...i stream 5-6 hours between 8am-5pm no matter which country i live in and i've lived in the US time zones a few times (not actually in the US though). for me, day time is stressful to me because i notice is kind of like ITC when there are fewer people and you gotta get bank from a handful of custies. easier when the club is bumpin with loads of custies

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
What is going on with Thursdays? Every week, it's like a freaking ghost town on Streamate. 2 hours left. Here's hoping I can survive this slowness. 4 shifts left for me this week and $1100 to make.
-
Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Wtf it's slow as fuck lately. I can't pull more than 7 hours even tho I should, because I was making money last minute all the time. But I swear I got tired making money last minute. How about universe sending me money while I am fucking available for 7 hours at least?!?!
Ugh, it's screwing my goals big time.
Rant over, even tho I STFO :)))

I did hit 4 hours yesterday. Aiming for the same today but may have to split it up because it's really hard doing 4 hours in one stretch.
ETA did 3.5 and left because after it being busy the entire time, when I came out of my last show traffic was so completely dead that I felt like something was wrong. I'm at 10 hours and 43 min for the week so I have to do 9 hours and 17 more min to hit 20 hours by Saturday. Aiming to do 6 tomorrow, probably going to have to do 3 two-hour stretches to get it done.

Yes, yes to all of this!
When the covid lockdown happened, I got used to being very busy during the day on cam.
Lots of guys were home/working from home/or collecting that govt money.
Those days are gone. My customers are either back to work, or out of work.
I'm getting them coming into my chat room in the day, asking if I'll be on later because they're at work. Or they will simply pop in to chat quickly, not say anything, then come back and spend at night.
I smell a new lockdown incoming with the monkeypox arrival.
I just hope they get stipends the way they did with covid.

Re: The "Just stay the fuck on" thread.
Did 2 hrs from 12am-2am and made $9. Then did 2 hrs from 9am-11am ummm, totally dead and zero love from a couple level 2s who didn't even tip or do shows. That kinda shit just makes me wanna not even side hustle SM. $102 for 4 hrs is not anything to brag about. I do want $300 for this weekend so I'll get on when I feel like it, but these fuckers bein real cheap and rude AF. Had to block a few guys and I NEVER do that. FUCK!!!
