    Default Do you feel guilty when you take a day off your cam schedule

    I ussually work Mon-Fri.But since i had a really great week and made my weekly goal early.I decided to take today off.I feel SUPER guilty.Right now all i can think about is the money im missing out on.But in reality the more i make the more taxes im about to pay to Uncle Sam.

    My question is do you guys feel guilty when you take a day off from your regular cam schedule? Since camming is my only job i make sure i stick to a schedule whether im making a lot of money or not .Unless i have a doctor appointment ,which i will make sure i just wake up earlier to make up for the hours .My schedule is Mon-Fri .6 hours a day and sometime no breaks, i just work straight through my shift.

    You need a day off every once in a while. It's the beauty of working cam. You can create your own schedule. I took four days off last week for mental health reasons. I needed that time off so I could process a nasty break up, and more importantly not have a meltdown on cam.

    Oh wow, Miss Judy! Kudos to you and the hours you put in! To answer your question, I sure don't feel guilty! Camming is my second job so I work as much as I can. I've learned that it's nice to make good morning, it affords you to live a comfortable life but it's sweeter when making money has meaning.

    Not really. Things change constantly so I've been forced to go with the flow. I used to be pretty rigid in my schedule. You have a good work ethic Judy. That's super important when you have to be your own boss.

    I have been thinking about this same thing. I take 1-2 days off a week and work around 30 hours. Sometimes I will do 6-7 hours straight or break it up into two chunks.

    Pretty much been doing this since I started camming full time beginning of March. This week I feel like I hit a wall, and I can't seem to stay on for more than 2 hours at a time. My hours are WAY down this week and I feel terrible about it.

    It's starting to make me wonder if I need a vacation but I just can't imagine stepping away from earning for a week. I could afford to do it but I don't want to. It might not be a choice though if I keep wanting to log off like 10 mins into it.

    I like camming, so I dunno what's up.

    The only time I'd feel "guilty" is if I'm skipping webcam on a night I know one of my spending regs will be there. Since I cam on MFC at night, one of my spending regs is only able to see me 3 nights/week (whatever 3 nights he happens to have off work that week). So if I know ahead of time that his nights off this week are, say, Mon/Tues/Wed, I'm definitely getting on MFC those nights (it's guaranteed money in my pocket if he's there). And then I can decide what my two nights off MFC will be (can be Thurs/Fri, or Fri/Sat, or Sat/Sun).

    And when I'm talking about days off, I'm only referring to MFC (the only 'free video chat' cam site I'm on). I don't ever feel the need to take off from AdultWork or ImLive, because I just do 'paid chat only' mode on those sites. Those sites don't demand as much attention/energy as MFC, and you don't have to deal with lots of awkward silences and back-and-forth getting up to flash/sitting back down.

    But when it comes to any non-spenders waiting for you to get on cam...if they never spend on you anyway and just hang out in your room all the time, they better not be giving you a hard time with "Aren't you getting on cam???" tweets...smh. That's when you should be like "I sure am! You saving up those tokens for me, bb?" LMAO.

    I don't really feel "guilty." Everyone needs a day off.
    However, whenever I take a day off,
    I don't want to go back on cam...therefore I rarely take days off anymore.

    I don't at all. If you have a goal and you reach it, it's ok to take the extra time off. Camming is a hard job and you deal with a lot of bullshit.

    Yes, Im so with u, this week i hit 20 hours ; / and im supposed to do 30. One day was a power outage and Monday i just wasn't feeling it. Totally kicking myself for taking off Monday because i just had to work harder the rest of the week. But YES i feel guilty because my pay check next week isn't going to be as much as i want!
    But i think staying healthy mentally is important for longevity with this job. I just don't this to happen anymore 30 hour weeks from here on out no excuses!
    Hope everyone has a great weekend.

    I agree with everyone on this thread.It is nice to take some days off.I also feel the same way .if i take to much days off i will end up not wanting to go back.

    @Brownfox lucky you i don't have faithful customers waiting to spend on only me on MFC.Maybe its cuz i work the morning shift.Plus these men be switching out as soon as i tell them i will not date them ,oh well.LOL.

    Thanks everyone for answering i feel less guilty now

    They don't spend on only me...I know that they spend on other models too. I just meant that there are 2 or 3 regs in particular who make a point to tip every time they're in public chat.

    When I take nights off from MFC, I make sure those nights off are two days back to back. That way, it gives guys a chance to miss me a little after not seeing me for a couple nights, and I can get a little break from free video chat. Plus when I worked in daycare centers (open Mon - Fri), we always had two days off (Sat/Sun).
