Does your job make you tired?

I started a new earning endeavor today. I was really excited, as it's basically an unlimited earning potential, and I wanted to see how much I could make. I began at around 7:30 am, and although I took a few breaks to do my chores and such... I'm just wiped. It's exhausting to sit at the computer for hours on end. Granted the work is stimulating for the mind, not exactly challenging, but your always learning something interesting. But here it is 4pm and I feel like I could go to bed for the night already. Does your job make you tired? Is it because it is physically demanding, or because it's boring?

Right now, my primary job is as a mom plus I do affiliate marketing online. It pays good, when I make sales. Like any sales job, what I earn is dependent on how much time daily I up into it. Some days are tiring. Others are not.

I can't do affiliate marketing, it just didn't work out for me. I never found an online endeavor that actually paid off until this one. I just started yesterday basically and am up to $20, and that was in just a few hours. Some people claim to earn $500 a week, and it's guaranteed when you invest time... it's not a wait and see if you sell type of game.

What is it that you're doing now? Yes, I'm nosy, lol. Right now I don't work, but I do try to earn money from doing things online. I do find that it makes me a bit tired when I'm working as hard as I can to get points or cents.

It's very tiring work. It is a strain on your back, hands, eyesight and overworking them contributes to your tiredness. If you can take a few breaks, (and not for other chores) you can do some deep breathing, yoga type things. Exercise your hands, touch the floor, stretch, etc. It will help your body recharge a bit and help you get through. Also, I suppose once you develop a routine, your body will adapt and you will get used to the new routine. Good luck with your new job!

The last two weeks or so, I have been writing articles on demand for someone and I have to say that it has been the most exhausting thing I have ever done. I have been doing about three a week and the brain power I have had to use has been intense. In fact I worked that hard on them that on wednesday I was shattered and ended up having to go to bed early.

I would have to say both. I am a stay at home mom of 2 which is at times physically demanding and it's definately emotionally demanding. I also do online work so that's boring, which drains me. I'm exhausted all day everyday. Good luck with the new site, I think you'll like it once you get used to it.

I thinks that is just a natural thing i mean when you are working with the same group or with the same company you get familiar with how it works or how its being done and because of that familiarity you get bored sometimes. That is why a person should always reinvent his or herself in order not to be bored. Always try a different approach in doing things. be spontaneous i would say.

I am just new to my current job as I just got to work here a mnoth ago. I am still not very experienced with the colleagues here and part of my job I have to learn to use the new ERP system, which is ver different from my old company and it's hard for me to adjust. As my predecessor quit in a hush and did't do the job take over with me, so it's really challenging and I am learning bit by bit all by myself. But I will keep trying and I believe that in another month I can do it better. I am tired these days and I have been drinking extra coffee to drag myself from drousing off. I hope I will not be addicted into coffee again but I have no other way to fresh up in the noon. Keep moving there and earn more and more money, lol.

Well, in my case it depends because I work in the Hospital at the OR/DR department. There are times that we have a lot of cases to handle and the man power is not enough and of course it's physically and mentally demanding. So at the end of duty, I'm so tired that I wanted to go home lying at the bed. LOLs!!! But there are times that we don't have patients as in. So we do other chores like making cotton balls, big and small OS, cleaning the OR1, 2, 3 & 4 and DR 1 & 2, Making complete pack, folding drapes and OR gowns and etc. While doing so, we got bored so we end up talking, gossips (LOL!!!), and bully one another. And at the end of the shift, we are sleepy because we are bored. LOLs!!! But my work is exciting and fun. The adventures never stops and of course scrubbing for surgeons who are way too demanding is a challenge. But I learned from them.

In fact, if the work that you are engaged in is entertaining you and benefical to improve your personal working experence, it will be worth what you devoted yourself to. With respect to myself, I am so interested in my present job related to international business since I am always a pretty excellent communciation person while communciating with the overseas cusomters. I enjoy this kind of working atmosphere and ways, and at that time, even though you work over time often, you can not feel so tired. It is a kind of entertainment and enjoyment leisurely .

Being idle for long periods of time as well as being bored can make you feel worn out, yes. That's why I try to find other things to do at work...mylot...take a smoke break...file something. When I go outside to take a smoke break I walk around instead of just standing or sitting because I figure that'll get my blood flowing again. Congrats on the new endeavor!

Well I work retail because I could never sit all day for one I would get fat and I have to stay busy some women can set at that desk all day but not me. That is why I am not on here much because I can not sit here for very long. I had a really great paying office job kept it for 2 months and thought I would lose my mind.I came home form work and I was crabby hated it. But I want to wish u good luck on your new job and I bet u will have great success at it.

Hi there. Yes, I usually find myself exhausted at the end of a workday, though whether it's because of my work or the distance I have to cover from our house to the office and vice versa is something I haven't really figured out yet. Though, by its nature, my work could really be stressful, especially when we're nearing deadlines. Also, though not physically demanding, it is quite a pain to sit in front of your laptop for a major part of the day. The remaining time I spend in meeting, also sitting and I think it isn't really that healthy to be sitting around as much as I do. There are boring times though and, since our I.T. department has blocked almost all non-work-related sites, I usually resort to chatting on our intra-office IM and playing casual games which I don't find tiring at all.

first of all congratulations for your new job. yeah workin' for hours before computer is quite exhaustin'. i myself feel fatigue after few hours but i usually do data entries from my home only so i can easily take a half an hour nap in between. Physical pressure is solely responsible for the energy loss as our spinal cord(i.e. our central nervous sytem) is unable to bear the weight of our body that indirectly affects the brain as well. Do wash your face in between .While sittin' do little bending and neck rotatin' excersices .
