I believe sometimes working too hard will give stress to ourselves, affecting our health. If you have rest and work time separately, you can work efficiently after that, for me I work on months after that and sometimes I work twice a week, it depends on me, I take break in between. What are your working time, are you working everyday, Monday to Friday, irregularly and how much you earn?

Hiya
I use to work about 4 - 5 times a week but my hours have been cut at work so I'm only working like 2 days a week which to me isn't really goo enough as I'm not earning enough money to support myself. I do like to work its pretty boring not working and just sat there doing nothing all day getting fat and old lol
I'm on shift patterns which range from times such as 12 - 4 which is my shift today and also 1:30 to 8:00 which will be tomorrow

Hi,
Shifts jobs are good f we earn good amount in less time. But it will be more good if we have a regular job. No tension for earning and to support ourselves.

School. It's not good but it will be worse later. We got breaks every hour. But we need that if we want to survive the day, the things we learn are so useless.

breaks make us relieve our stress for a while and continue to absorb information after that. Good.

Yes, it is true that working too hard will cause stress and will affect the health. Last year around this period, I was working like crazy and my BP shot through the air. Then I got back to working normal hours and brought it back in control. I think more than anything it is the lack of rest that causes the most problems.
Cheers!

I work 4 days a week and I work long hours just to get them in. I work from 2pm till 11"30 pm.. I don't complain. Thee days we are all lucky to even have a job. I think that NOT working would add more stress to our lives. I have to support myself and so really, I won't miss any time and I'll take on extra time if offered. I guess you are lucky that you hve the option to choose and be able to take time off.

That is why my parents especially mom always nag me, for doing flexible job, she don't like me to ask money from dad everytime I don't have, I know that you are also a depression one, and its hard to even stay at home nowadays, how I hope I can work like normal dudes in the office.

Hi,
My work is regular. I don't have that option to work for sometime and then take a break. Sch works are not available here as far as i know.
I agree if we take rest then we can work effectively. Good to know that you have such opportunity. yes i work from Monday to Saturday. The earning part is less i should agree. But if i gains some experience then my pay increases with experience.

You can join some call center jobs, they are flexible in terms of working time, or you can start your own business online like selling things at ebay, that is cool, friend.

Much as I want to take a break and rest, I can't for I need to earn money. It is not that I am a slave of money. there are other factors why i have work other than the regular work. 1. I don't like to turn down the principal who requested that I teach their students because i don't like to embarrass them. I have now 4 schools to teach. 2. extra income too. 3. well, since I am not going somewhere because there is no somewhere to go here, i can just work to kill idle time. Everyday, I work regularly. After working, I will have tutorials. after tutorials I have mylot. During weekend same thing. I have regular tutorials in the morning and afternoon. While resting, I mylot.
you so fortunate that you can work that way. good for you. wish i can but I have no choice.

mavic,
Actually I have some depression problems, it affects me to go to work regularly, even though I want so much to work everyday from Monday to Friday, I always pull back from doing so. It so hard having mental illness. I hope to work like normal dudes from 9 to 5 but I can't.

This is so true. There are a lot of people, even here on myLot that are working a lot of hours and days so in the end it makes you wonder when they ever get time to sleep. I know over the yrs I have tried many things and sometimes have overdone it. Right now I work full time 40 hrs a week plus my hyperbaric oxygen therapy and then finding free time to post back in here as well. Makes for a busy time, but I do have time I can rest.

Hi!
We have approximately 9 hours working from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm and we work for 5 days. For us Saturdays and Sundays are off days.
You are lucky that you could afford to work twice a week and take a break as and when you want.

All of the work that I am doing right now is online work, so I am free to choose when I am working any time of the day or night. That said, I choose to do the majority of my work during the day while my children are at school because that way I don't have as many distractions as I have when they are at home. However, there are some times that I will also do some of my work during the afternoon and evening when they are home from school. I do things this way because I set goals for myself and I always want to be able to reach my goals.

Hi,
I have a regular work week, daily from Monday to Friday and paid every 15th day of the month. I get paid whether I have some work or not, I am a computer technician and when computers work fine all week, I seldom get something to do except wait for units to be brought in for repairs.

That is your luck to work flexibly,to me not have that chance ,have to work from M to F a week,most people enjoy resting in the weekend ,you may meet so many people in a crowded street either in shop or in metro. i`d rather stay at home with family togher than go out for shopping or walk. i took a leave for a trip on the middle of May,less travelers in that place where i arrived, less people in that hotel,and we family together go to the local market for some sea stuffs..really had a fun time there..

hello wonchoiyee, that's true, working too hard for our life causes to much stress in ourselves, and having stress causes also bad health. working the whole week in the office with a very crazy customers in almost twelve (12) hours, with only one (1) day to rest, that is not enough to re-gain body strength for another stressful day after. I've been working most of my life time, 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, only Sunday is my rest day, and most oftentimes, I have to report also, due to some pendings and urgent issues to customers. Verrrrrry stresssiiiiing!

I worked 6 times a week having one day as my rest day! well i bet you are true on saying that we need sometime off to work and not overworking ourselves but as a parent we need to have a good earning to be able to have our child needs and for our everyday life.If we do not do that then how can we live without anything at all?But i guess i am not overworking myself even i worked 6 times a day, i still have time for my self during the day and take my rest.

I have a food cart business and I do online jobs as well so I balance everything by writing a schedule for tomorrow before I sleep. In that case, I don't have to forget something and even if I am only at home working, I still have the time to watch tv. I even write the time for my lunch and snacks. For us online workers, time is very important. I don't want to risk the things that I really enjoy so setting a schedule for the day is really helpful for me.
