    Default Need to get out of the rut of being lazy :(

    So, I started dancing about a month ago. I still love it, however I have been being really lazy lately and letting life get in the way. I keep going in around 8 or 9 p.m. at night, and I normally would go in at 7 ish. I just am not really trying lately. And it's concerning me. I don't know how to get out of the rut. Any advice? Any
    and all would be nice. Or just yell at me and tell me to get my sheut together. And stop letting life get in the way of work. I think that school and working is just stressing me out, and honestly: stupid boys. I definitely need to stay away from them for awhile. I think I am just woried about getting there at 6 or 7 and being really tired by the time 2 comes around. I am thinking of getting there about 6 because you have to work a straight 5 hour shift, so if I get there at 6 I can leave at 12..... if I wanted. Or I can stay and make more money. Atleast give that a try or something. See how that goes. That's the only advice I can give myself. And maybe turn my brain off at work to outside things going on in my life? any and all help would be helpful

    Do you track your earnings? If so, how much do you normally earn between 6pm and 9pm? How much do you earn after that, especially after midnight? Even if you don't track your earnings, I'm sure you can come up with a ballpark figure. If how much you earn earlier on isn't that much, maybe it's for the best that you're going in later so you have more energy once the big money time rolls around. As an added bonus, that gives you more time to focus on schoolwork in the evenings before work.

    Oh yeah, i hear people go in at 4 pm and i get there at 8 or so. and they sometimes have only made like $20. and they are tired.
    i do make more money later on in the night because i have time to go take a nap and do homework before work so i am not as tired.
    plus, people don't really come in until 9 or 10 it seems like. During the weekends though, I go in about 7 and I still have enough energy I make a good amount of money because by the time the gets busy, I am in the zone and am already warmed up per se. But if I get there around 8 or 9 on the week end, I am out of the loop and not really in it.

    If going in that late on weekdays works for you, don't stress about not working as long as other girls do. It sounds like a great balance of maximizing your work time, getting schoolwork done, and taking care of yourself. If you don't push yourself to go in early during the week, that'll likely make it easier to go in that extra hour earlier on the weekend.

    Ok thank you I just haven't been making any money lately. really trying to figure out a schedule to go toSchool. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to change my mind set. Maybe just think positive myself. Instead of focusing on not making much money that night, I should just be having fun still and being happy. That's what makes me all pissy and not really wanting to try. But there are good and bad nights.

    If you've been stressing out about getting to work "late", then that would put a damper on your attitude and likely fuck with your hustle. The best thing I ever did as a student dancer was try and treat dancing as much like a job as possible in the sense of making a schedule and sticking to it. Is there a particular day that you are generally always able to work? If you're consistently in the club every Monday or Tuesday or whenever, that makes it easier to cultivate regulars, which makes it easier to make money without having to spend as much time hustling.

    That makes complete sense! Yeah, i go to school monday to thursday 830 to 230 .... so thats pretty tiring. I have to work 3 scheduled days for work. which is totally fine and easy and we can go in more if we want.
    So, I am simply thinking of doing Wednesday, thursday, friday nights. because I can always decide to go into work any other night i want. I have been changin my schedule every week. and I think it is getting my very tired all the time.

    Also a great reason to pick your days and stick to them. If you let your body get used to dancing on certain days and having other days off, it won't be so much of a shock every time.
