    Sad I went back to university and my schedule sucks. Help?

    So I'm finding it *impossible* to figure out the most efficient way to use my time, and my wallet is taking a hit. Could I appeal to your collective wisdom?

    tl;dr: I have 4-5 hrs of cam time to somehow schedule around blocks of college time in split shifts. Where in the day would you schedule these shifts?


    In a day that has 24 hrs:
    - I need to sleep 8 hrs a night, otherwise I malfunction (this leaves 16 hrs);
    - 6 hours physically at college, including travel - quite flexible, can be any time between 8am and 8pm (this leaves 10 hrs);
    - 4-5 hrs normal life upkeep like chores, cooking, looking after family, taking breaks, being stuck in traffic etc (this leaves 5-6 hrs);
    - 1 hour grooming and getting ready for cam.

    After all of this I should have 4-5 hours per day left to get my camming on, which is plenty of time weekly to hit my extremely modest goals.

    Problem:
    - I tried doing all these cam hours in one go before uni, catching the AW morning crowd with their morning wood. This is *exhausting*. Plus the morning wood rush only last at most 2 hours, so the rest of the time is effectively wasted.
    - I tried doing the camming in the evening after I get home, but again, a shift that long doesn't work so well, especially on top of having just studied, commuted and probably done some chores as well.

    After trying both of the above, I was then so tired I couldn't go back online for several days, nor study very well, either. I've been making £70 per week since the start of term.

    Clearly I need to either split my shifts (which adds a second stretch of getting ready, taking away from streaming time, but OK) or... do something else, I guess?

    Any advice, bbs? I'm absolutely awful at making plans that can actually survive contact with reality, so even if something is completely obvious to you, I may well not have thought of it.

    Love,
    Slothie xx

    Do you go to school every day of the week? Do you have any days where you don't have to be on campus?

    What I do (I have a very demanding and busy PT vanilla job) is try to work 8 hours one day a week (split into two 4 hour shifts)and then do a few 2-3 hour shifts spread throughout the week in the evenings/late afternoons.

    Find the gaps in your schedule and maybe split those 4 hours into 2 shifts? Once in the morning and evening? If you can, try cutting back on your cam-prep time. I used to spend an hour plus getting ready and now I have a routine down to 30mins with hair & makeup.

    Also, as soon as I get home from work, without delay I eat a snack and get ready and hop on cam. I don't even bother with other life stuff until I have put my cam shift in. If I dawdle I get exhausted and then I don't even make it on.

    I know it's super hard to manage 2 different worlds like that, but just try to squeeze it all in whenever you can. It'll all add up, but we have to be super disciplined about it! xx

    I do have to be there every day until the Xmas break; after that it will lighten up, so I'll attempt the one 8-hr day thing.

    Hopping straight on as soon as I get home sounds like a pretty good plan, actually. Where I fall down is taking ages to tidy my cam space, and then I'm tired, and then there aren't 4 hrs left between getting on cam and bedtime, and and and... Maybe what I need is a strict routine of getting my space ready in the morning.

    When I started camming, I had a full-time dayjob and combined with not being able to cam late at night (thin walls and square neighbours), I was limited in my hours left for camming. The most helpful things for me were:
    - Having as much ready so when I got home, I spent minimum time getting prepared. This involved having my room set up (helps if you live alone), keeping my lingerie/outfits/makeup in one place and having my computer/camera/hardware all ready to go.
    - Having at least one block of time during the week when I would cam regularly. For me this was Saturdays and Sundays mid-day to late afternoons. As men are creatures of habit, you develop some regulars this way. I split AW with SM so I was focusing on UK evenings while counting on the volume in SM.

    Definitely the main revelation of the thread for me.

    When I used to have problems getting going on cam, I got into the habit of leaving my makeup *on* my keyboard at night. In the morning, as I couldn't do ANYTHING until i'd moved my makeup, so I tended to just apply it as I was moving it. Once my makeup was done, all I had to do was log in.

    Thumbs up Re: I went back to university and my schedule sucks. Help?

    "In a day that has 24 hrs:
    - I need to sleep 8 hrs a night, otherwise I malfunction (this leaves 16 hrs);
    - 6 hours physically at college, including travel - quite flexible, can be any time between 8am and 8pm (this leaves 10 hrs);
    - 4-5 hrs normal life upkeep like chores, cooking, looking after family, taking breaks, being stuck in traffic etc (this leaves 5-6 hrs);
    - 1 hour grooming and getting ready for cam".
    Personally saying you can save you 1 hour.
    Here are few tips:
    1- make a costume
    2- Use costume whenever you want to come in-front of cam.
    3- Turn your sleeping time to 6 hours.

    You can save more 2 hours and round about 30 min and i think its enough. isn't it? Rest of time which you scheduled is quite normal and feasible.

    I don't know how doable this is for you, but I stopped doing a full face of makeup a long time ago. I didn't notice any change in earnings and now it takes me 15 minutes to get ready instead of 45. I have a pretty tight schedule as well and I just don't have the time to do fake lashes and all that anymore

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who gave me advice. Going straight on as soon as I get in from uni has made everything go much more smoothly.

    Another thing that helped was to log onto AW before even putting my make-up on, while chatting to the guys and selling a show here and there. I literally did a show with eyeliner on one eye - the guy thought it was hilarious.

    (SM is a different matter - SM guys don't go for me at all unless I've got my eyeliner, lipstick, fancy jewellery - the works. But once AW guys warmed me up, I was able to go on SM too, for the first time in weeks.)

    If you're doing fetish, you may find that some men are fascinated and even titillated by makeup - especially sissies. I like putting on lipstick nice and slowly on AW and it's drawn attention on a few occasions.
