Well I am working from home and I like it, but sometimes I am like hmm haha. I know that i can make my own hours, but when there are things that need to be done or paid I have to jump on the ball and work more and more each day or try too. I try not to stress so much, but do you get stressed sometimes or is it free fall for you? I am use to just getting up going to work and everything, but since it is hard to get things online you never really know what will happen. I try not to take one site and rely on it forever you know, so I guess I stress myself because of that who knows. What about you?

Working at home in front of a PC for more than 5-6 hours can make anybody stressed, unless he is playing some online games. I myself feel very tired and irritated siting at home and surfing internet all the day. I think I should start doing some yoga and breathing exercises, which are proven to relieve stress and tension. This is also a very common problem with most of the IT engineers who have to type and code all the day. And regarding online earnings, it is very uncertain type of jobs. Sometimes I use to write an article with all the effort and get rejected. Such situations are really disheartening.

You write articles? Have you tried Odesk yet? I work there all the time and now I am doing an hourly long term forum posting job. See I have a long term job at the moment, but I do not make much, so I have to make sure that I am doing something else. I have two other sites that I use. I would recommend you go there, because there are a lot of people looking for someone that can help them with certain things like articles and so on. I know that you will find something that you like and love. You may even find a long term job there. Good Luck to you and thank you for helping me out.

i dont feel stressed while doing online jobs because it is not my main job. I come online and do works for just timepass. The money i make here online is just an add on. It will be like a pocket money for me. But doing things with stress will affect your results and outcomes which will result in further stress.

That is good that you have found something outside of your home. I am a mother so I have nothing outside of home at the moment and I am getting my degree, so working from home is all that i have right now. I am good with it as long as I can do something that I can rely on which I have one of those jobs. There are others that I have to do as well in order to help with everything else.

For some people, and probably not for others, working at home can be difficult. One problem is being able to focus on work when you are surrounded by home things. The other issue might be too many distractions. However, many people have loads of distractions at work as well. Sometimes it would just be nice to get alone.

I am not stressed. But sometime I felt guilty, because I can not pay much attention to my family. After working for 10 hours, I still spend more time to get extra money online, and my family sometime complain that.

I am working on online jobs but sometimes I get highly stressed when I am distracted by some unfavorable situations at home. Most often I am in a rush to complete my work and my boss would be online hurrying me up. When this happens, the more that I make mistakes on the job. I try to complete the work according to schedule in order to have some free time left but there are lots of orders now to finish. While the earnings are quite good, I have so many other responsibilities left undone.

Yes I see what you are saying. I use to do a lot of jobs like that and I decided to stop. I have one where I can be more laid back and nothing will go wrong. There are times when everything catches up with you and you are just out of it and you want to work more to make sure that the situation is taken care of. I hated employers rushing me, because when I needed to leave home I was not able to.

I work a fulltime job and that stresses me out frim time to time when its busy of course. I also try working online as much as possible but im trying to work as much as possible for more of an income right now too be suse it seems to me thst there ate alot of bills right now i have to pay for so working online will help me out if i can stick to it. Working online doesnt get me to stressed unless im not achieving my daily goal then i get upset at myself of not achieving my goal.

I do get a little stressed from working at home, but it's mainly because I feel I don't get all the things I wanted to do done in one day.

When I continuously work online at home, I get a feeling that my world is constrained. It cause a type of stress and make me to an exhausted mood.

Though it looks attractive for people who are thinking working from home is a better proposition because of, well so many perceived advantages over the full day employee job, it can be quite taxing and stressful. Money is hard to earn unless one can put in several hours of work and many a time non stop for many hours on. Of course, if one earns commensurate money, it all seems rewarded but earning well happens only after long years or strong experience & credentials. Until then, pressure is inevitable.

it depends on what job are you doing, i never had this kind of working at home experience, but for sure it is so much more comfortable and freedom than working outside at the office, you don't have to wake up early in the morning making breakfast and coffee then rush to work, it's exhausted we keep doing that everyday. Then you can work in peace at home and nobody will bother you and easy to concentrate, and one more thing is, you can do whatever posture without getting notice..haha...how good is that!
