New Week, New Me - So Grateful

 Attitude is everything. 


I find when I slide mentally and emotionally into despair, anxiety or being glum, my work life suffers greatly. It is hard for me on the best of days to feel well enough to ATTEMPT work, let alone do a good job. Some days are good and some are spectacular failures. 


However things have been on a quiet upswing this week. I have a VERY PT position. Just 10 hours or so per week most weeks (not all). This provides me the money to pay off medical costs. Per the news, there is a surge in wanting to add medical debt back onto credit reports. I am careful with mine. I make sure that by the end of the year, I am paid up and paid off fully. 


But work is about more than paying bills. As someone who has chronic health conditions, it is a part of feeling productive. Like a "real" adult that contributes to society. 


Work is about more than a paycheck. Never think of it as just a bank deposit.

2000 Plus Submissions

 Hey Hey Hey!     If there is one thing that I have learned over my year at Prolific...do not do every survey. This seems counterintuitive to making money but it wears out your welcome. I find that doing X number of surveys per day works out well for me. I rarely have a day without studies to do except on the weekends.      I set out to do the minimum. I cash out Mon through Friday at 6 dollars per day. I also do Cloud Connect and cash out there at 5 dollars per day. So I make $11 per day times 5 days which nets me $55 per week or $220 per month doing a few surveys while I work on other stuff.      Not a bad take home nest egg starter.

When Failure Hits - Part One

 Hey Hey Hey!     It is a horrible feeling to not succeed at something. Even worse when it is online. Health took a turn for the worse in the past couple of days. :(     I won't make the 1000 calls but I did work on it. I definitely feel that Humanatic is a work in progress. I am good at one category of calls.      But today's failure is about Preply. I simply cannot reconcile me giving free lessons in the HOPES of getting a paid student. I understand it allows the student to find a tutor but those lessons are often one hour long.      Gotta bow out of that one!
