    Default Short shifts or one long haul...

    I usually break up the amount of hours I do in a day by doing 2 hour shifts and then taking a break for an hour or two. I've been doing that because it seems by the two hour mark, I start getting annoyed by people or get spaced out from looking at the computer screen or get disheartened by slow traffic.

    Problem is that once I go on a break, my motivation for going back on starts to dwindle and sometimes I just don't do it.

    I see some women that seem to do 8 hour shifts straight and always seem to be energetic. Granted, they always have people in their room, so there's always conversation going on. Whereas my room can have no one in it for awhile and I slowly slip in to a catatonic stupor

    At times I think I'd like to do my hours in a row so when they're done and over with, I don't have to be bothered with it again for the rest of the day.

    Just curious if you ladies break up your shift or do the long haul and why you choose to do it that way

    I do both...depending on my mood. I go through periods where I prefer one or the other. Right now I'm on all at once because I hate getting back on later. If I'm feeling good about the day, or just bored I might get on for a bit later in the evening after my full shift. I think it's just one of those things you have to feel out and see what you do best with

    Normally what I do is work in the morning after i am awake for maybe 2-3 hours depending on how long it takes to drink my coffee or whatever is going on, then I log off for shower and makeup etc which takes me an hour, then I log back on til like lunch time.. but if it's super slow?? I will take short breaks and go clean something around the house.. then I'll log off for lunch and that time varies depending on what I am eating and how long it takes to cook it... then I log on for awhile longer usually til 5 pm or later if it's good and If i drink i can sit for HOURS AND HOURS and not even realize what time it is.. that's the one good thing about alcohol.. I can actually sit on cam for 10-12 hours straight and if i need alot of money it works out.. I can't really do that sober cuz it's so BORING!...lol

    Personally, it's easier for me to psych up if I only schedule a short time, and then extend if things really get rolling.

    I have done both, but I just play it minute by minute, if things are good I tend to stay on line even if I feel like I need a break and am burning out. Sometimes though, regardless of how busy it is, I just have to sign off.

    I prefer 2-3 hours shifts too. If it is a good day, sometimes I find myself staying on longer lol but never more than 5 hours at a time.
    Kudos to those who can stay on for 8 hours+ per shift.

    Depends on traffic and $'s. I would prefer to do one shift, work one site till it gets slow or I make my happy goal and log out, but it doesn't always work like that. Lately I've been having to work 4 sites or more to make my goal or near it. Sometimes its log out of one straight into another, and sometimes its watch netflix, after so many episodes of whatever show I will go back to work.
