It sounds like you are fighting major burnout. If you can't afford to take a week or two completely off from turking to recharge just try to create mini goals in your mind for perspective. Tell yourself that you just need to make $2.50, take a little break for a while, come back and do that again. Suddenly you discover that if you do this four or five times in the morning you are already over $10. Then it builds from there.

It's easy to lose your confidence and get frustrated at this shit. It's extremely important to give yourself realistic, simple objectives and try to put out of your mind all the money you really need to make - otherwise you will de-motivate yourself again.

If you think "whoopty shit. I made $3 and I need to make $300 to pay a bill" it will completely overwhelm you.

If you think "I made $10 today. If I make $10 every day of the month that is $300."

Baby steps add up to big things. You can do this. Just climb back on when you fall down.

Turking honestly isn't the burnout i'm having right now. Life is the burnout. And my 9-5. But that's all for the sad pandas thread. lol. I show up. I try. I've been taking weekends off, and I won't have internet Fri-Sun when I travel to Asheville, so that'll be nice. Was trying to make some chump change for the trip tho.

from the req:
Yes. I understand this. The researcher is contacting the MTurk. Before the platform solves this problem, we can only pay you in this way. We will contact you if we make any progress. Thanks for your patience.

Good morning. It's not easy to stay on theme.

Also, I originally typed good morning as good moroning.
And Good Moroning to you, too....If the shoe fits, we'll all wear it....Hell, if it's really kick-ass, some of us will wear that shoe even if it doesn't fit....I might have gotten alittle off focus here. But I'm busy moroning with my coffee.
