Grinding for 13 Hours

I guess I need to call it a night. I had worked for about 13 hours online these weekends. I am not a workaholic, but I am grabbing the chance to earn more. It was not easy to teach online nonstop, so I still have break times in between. Working with two companies is what I wished for during the pandemic. The wish came true, and I need to take the chances of being productive. What are your thoughts about working more than the regular working hours?

I always hated working past the time I was scheduled to go home but I didn't mind if the manager called me in early, as long as I still got to leave at the scheduled time...

I am jealous. I can picture what it would be like to reach that period.

@Shavkat I still want face to face tutoring

@averygirl72 I used to be teaching like that, but it does not pay much.

I have an account in Native Camp. But I do not work there now. I can come back if I want to. The load of students is not that high. At present, I am working for a Japanese company, too. It is far better than this company.

As we were self employed, we worked all our life more than the regular working hours. If you want a 9 to 5 job, you have to become and employee.

There is no regret for quitting my previous job offline prior to working online. I may be self-employed, at least I can earn more than the regular jobs offline in my city.

@LadyDuck It just two days overwork for me on weekends only. For weekdays, I just have the night classes. You are right that satisfaction is essential when doing a job.

@Shavkat You work a lot more when you are self employed, but there is more satisfaction doing your job.

I agree with you. I really need to do this to make things better in my current situation. The pandemic had so many bad outcomes. Now, it is time to catch up.

Hey, if you need the money, or want to shore up a nest egg, then I say a person should go for it! I just don’t want to see anyone’s health go downhill. I’m sure you are too smart to let that happen.

If I have the time and it doesn't stop me from having a life, I don't care.

I also think this way. I do not mind what others say. As long as I am happy with what I am doing, I do not need to explain myself to them.

I wish it were years ago, when I could work freely. I do not like how it is now.

Honestly, I am aiming for an early retirement. But then. Things had changed because of this pandemic. I am sure I can cope with this current situation to achieve this aspiration.

This is great that you are working extra hours making extra money. And not missing this opportunity.

Since I quit my previous job online, I need to compensate for the usual working hours with my current job online. I personally think that there is nothing wrong with working extra hours because I do not have anything to do.

I did work like that a few years ago and the result was not good. I suffered from hallucination for depriving myself of sleep.

Oh, my. I hope it will not happen to me. To refrain from having this, I usually take a nap every afternoon.

You need breaks. I worked like that when I could and I was very anxious. But I wasn't able to work nonstop.

I do need some breaks. But I do in between my classes online. That is the problem of me sometimes. I work so hard and forget to slow down a bit.

Obviously we feel tired mentally and physically if we work more than the regular working hours But giving education is a great work As much as you can give time for tutoring, you will keep in blessings of god
