    Thumbs up Motivation & Productivity -- Great resources!

    Hey everyone, I know a lot of us camgirls frequently struggle with procrastination, a lack of motivation & discipline, and even depression. I think it takes a tremendous amount of initiative to keep ourselves focused and on the right track each and every day, logging in and working for hours even when it's slow & free chat is full of beggars, filming clips even when we lack inspiration.


    I thought I'd post this thread to share some resources I've found that have made an impact on me and helped me become more productive.


    Eat That Frog --
    Free self-help, time management guide... based around the idea that you should tackle your most dreadest task FIRST every day so you can get it out of the way. Of course it goes much more in depth than that.


    Action Unleashed --
    Free self-help guide, also primarily about time management. Really inspiring when you realize just how much TIME there is in a single day. There's enough time to get just about anything we want done, but most of us spend all those hours doing nothing instead, without even realizing it.


    The Now Habit --
    Probably the best self-help book I've ever read. Unfortunately this one isn't free, but I HIGHLY recommend it. It really delves into the psychological reasons why we procrastinate (no, "I'm lazy" is not one of them), and how to change your thought patterns to free yourself from all the fear, guilt, regret, etc. that keeps you stuck in a negative, destructive cycle. It's really eye-opening. Not so much "inspirational" as it is highly practical and therapeautic, and the methods are effective.


    The Power of Now (full audio) --
    I'm honestly not all that into meditation & spirituality, but I LOVE Eckert Tolle and this book is amazing. Learn how to empty your mind of all thoughts and just LIVE in the present moment, touching, feeling, smelling, experiencing, instead of living in the imaginary world inside your head. If your mind is overactive and racing with thoughts, and you're constantly dwelling on the past or projecting yourself into an imaginary future, rather than simply enjoying the present moment, you should definitely listen to Tolle... remember, there technically IS no past or future... there is only NOW, and that's all there has ever been!


    I find camming is a lot easier when you're mentally at peace with yourself, and just enjoying the moment for what it is rather than obsessing over how much money you're making, how slow it is, how are you gonna pay your bills next week, personal issues, random worries and fears, etc. After I listen to Eckert Tolle I become zen as fuck.


    Think And Grow Rich --
    Classic self-help book, and it's free! Written in the 1930's, but its principles are timeless. My husband LOVES this book and says it changed his life. Stresses the importance of positive thinking, and how achieving success comes from having a BURNING DESIRE that is backed by faith, definiteness of purpose, confidence, self-discipline, and persistence.


    Okay, that's all I've got so far. Hope these inspire you!!

    Oh right, I should also include this extension for Chrome: StayFocusd.

    It will block certain sites for you after a period of time (like these forums, lol). It's easy to go into settings and just turn it off BUT if you use the "Nuclear Option" to block EVERYTHING except for sites on your allowed list (Streamate, for example), then there is NO way to turn it off (that I know of) because it also blocks local files. You'll be forced to deal with *~*~REAL LIFE*~*~ for a few hours without your precious forums, blogs, Facebook, etc.

    I'm sure there are other similar extensions for other browsers as well.

    Thank you! It's great to have resources to help us when camming is rough. When my room gets slow, it's nice to take a break, and regroup with some meditation or motivational self-help stuff! Helps tremendously... that and a glass of wine!
