    Default How many days in a row do you work before you need a day off?

    Hey girls! I must ask this because I wonder maybe I should push harder and still go online today. Am just not sure.
    A while ago decided I must truly commit and make lots of money and just worked 6 days straight or even 7 . Few hours each day not every day was successful but some were very and I gave each day my all. But now after a whole week last night I simply could not make it anymore. I logged off early and never returned despite telling members I will and today never went on cam am in bed. I look great and slept I think like 10 hr straight last night but I sort of don't have the energy and that desire to go on cam that I usually do.
    But a regular last night he wanted a private and told him will do it later then logged off and said will be back later and today I see he is online but I just can't go to see if he wants the pvt.
    not sure if am coming down with something either because I have a bit of a headache or is simply I need a day off so wonder after how many days u feel u simply need to take time off? Like really truly..
    and how many days a month di you take off? Or maybe am pushing too hard?
    is first time I did so many days straight and before crammed two days then day off or three days and then off but now it was like crazy.
    thanks for feedback and thoughts on this...

    About 30-60 days without a day off.. lmao.. it's hard for me to take a day off because I am not going anywhere..not going to do anything. So I try to save my days off for either sick days or if I am going to go do something fun.. Not going to get to my dream life taking days off... but it does get to you, I try to take all my minerals, cleanses and keep myself feeling good to do it.. I need to get back to exercising when I get better.

    I made the mistake of treating camming like my corporate job, and cammed 8 hours per day, 7 days a week.
    I didn't know about stripper web back then so for me it was a huge mistake.
    Keeping that schedule, for me, was a good way to experience burnout. I'm lucky that I've built up my clientele so much that I only need to jump on cam 1-2 hours a day 3 to 4 times a week I make more money now and less stressed and get to really enjoy my life.
    I have another career I'm working on, and when I cammed that much, I always found myself putting that career on the back burner. Now, everything is in balance. I go out of town when I want. I rest when I want. I work when I want, and all is well. So my point is, it's a balance. If your body is telling you stop should stop.

    This shirt that I just bought off ebay will sum it up for me:


    But really, I just find it so much easier mentally and physically for me to work everyday even for a few hours. I have created a routine that I would hate to fuck it up. It's so hard to get back on track once that's interrupted.

    It varies for me, I used to cam 5 days a week for 3 hours a day, taking a Wednesday and a Sunday off. Recently, I've cammed 14 days straight for around 4 to 6 hours a day. Then taking a day off, especially if it's a slow day. During my period, I'll take the days off, so around 4 or 5, to recharge and that happens every month, so I always have a week off when it happens. But if I don't feel like getting on cam, then I won't, and I feel guilty, but I do this job for the flexibility so I try not to be so hard on myself. If you need a break, take a break, it's fine to take a break. Everyone's different, and when you are your own boss it's good to be disciplined, but not to the point where you hate what you do. Everyone needs time to relax, and because you are the boss, you can give yourself that day or two to chill!

    It depends, really. I usually give myself 6 days before rest, or 3 on 1 off 3 on. Sometimes I need a break in the middle, though my off days are Saturday. Sometimes I work through the week without a break, then I'll take 2 days off side by side. I try and work 6 days a week, especially now that I'm hustling for vacation and have been working through Saturdays, anyway. Sometimes I'll do a half day, and sometimes I'll work 30+ days in a row if I want to challenge myself.

    It's pretty typical for me to work M-F and take weekends off. I adjust it if need be but I normally am on cam 5 days per week.

    I usually try to work about 6 days and a day off but sometimes i will work straight through for about 12-13 days in a row if i can and have energy to. It really depends on how much time i have to put into it and if its possible.

    Thanks girls! Well after only one day off of just watching movies , staying in bed , reading my favorite novel and thinking about nothing in between and also nibbling popcorn and dried apples I feel incredibly refreshed today and so ready to go. I think I really needed this and it was more for my emotional recharge than physical ( but maybe also physical because I had a two hour plus group chat on mfc and I dint even know how this happened all guys left but one decided to stay and I let it go on and on for ten tokens a minute plus random pop ins but these two hours was just extra long).
    However I get emotionally weird after camming too long due to constant questions about boobs pussy etc and after a while I just need something different to think about that these no brain assholes with on,y their dicks and I felt like screaming last time I was on.
    Still I feel even if I take one day off every six days is still a lot of days camming so will make lots of money still. Many of you inspired me thank you!

    I try to work Tuesday--Saturday 6-8 hours a day because those are the days my husband works. Sometimes I throw in a Sunday or a Monday for extra hours.

    I just went I don't even know how many days without a day off. Feels like 2 months. Makes for some nice burn out. Especially when a holiday and rent week combine with more models online for a contest. The problem is you can't rely on making $$ when you log in. You NEVER know when you're going to make it. I need to make a certain amount a month to pay bills and hopefully have left over. Fun? Ain't got no $ to have fun.
    I also was thinking about how the past 2 or 3 years I've gone without doing the Obama care. Now this year they're doubling the cost. And I'm pretty sure the fine isn't worth paying. @ 2 people and approx 185 pp that's almost 400 more I'll need to come up with a month. They act like you don't have any other bills and just mandate you have to pay for this shit you can't even use. If I had to go to the Dr. I'd have to pay the whole cost out of pocket. You know. All that extra money I'm hoarding. LOL Just no. If that's the case I'm a be a perma faux ho and give up my vanilla job.
    Really depressed that life has come to this. We're all just wage slaves.
    And before you give me the well meaning you are burned out and need to take some time off- please don't. I can't afford to. We're trying to buy a house so our mortgage will be reasonable because rent is horrendous. But with obamacare how are we going to be able to fix it up?
    Add really bad pms into the mix the week before my period and the week of and wtf. So hard to make money when you'd rather not be even thinking of dick.
    And no I'm not down on Obama. I voted him in. But what he's doing with race wars and health care is tearing up the country.

    I work whatever days I can. Between depression, vanilla work and now pregnancy too I just can't make it some days. Can work a few hours a day for weeks at a time, or a whole week of full hour days. But some weeks I manage no hours at all. To be fair, that is the beauty of camming for me. I can do other work, have mental health holidays, choose how much I face custies, work less than part time hours, and still make rent, bills, food and enough spare for all the baby gear my heart desires.
    I don't mind talking so much as being spoken to. And I don't mind being spoken to all that much, when the one speaking has a brain.

    4-5 days a week, sometimes less, sometimes more, 2-4 hour shifts. Rarely ever more than 6. 8 hours is a marathon for me. I keep most weekends free as there are so many more models online, I don't see the point putting up with less bandwidth and more competition on all the sites, plus I love just chilling on the weekends with all the normal people, keeps me grounded.

    obamcare DOES suck but I am paying almost $38 a month for 3 people.. and my youngest is a type 1 diabetic so it is saving us a lot of worry about how to afford his insulin and supplies.. his insulin is $500 a month alone for just one kind and he takes 2 kinds.. so that's $1000 a month plus cost of supplies and doctor's visits.. astronomical!

    I used to force myself to work 6 hours every day for a few months and I got some cash on pile so now I'm chilling and working every second or third day for few hours, but honestly I don't earn much at all in this period. Fact that I did my make up, hair, clothes, lightning and all and I'm just sitting there and talking to freeloaders is turning me off, so I choose to enjoy myself a bit and chill. This is positive aspect of this job: u can chill. After 10th of September I'll be back on my routine: 6hrs\day, 6days a week

    I'm terrible at schedules so I work when I can be bothered to get online and it really shows in my dismal bank balance at the moment, I need to kick myself up the arse before I become homeless.

    When I am motivated I work 3-4 days a week for about 4-6 hours and come out with a liveable amount I am happy with most weeks, however having just taken on a brand new car I really need to step it up and... I'm not. Took another whole week off the first week of this month and today was my first day back, I did okay but that is not good enough!!
