What time do I like to work?

Theresa Schlott     If I can wake up at 8am, anyone can but I usually work from 8am to 3:15am every day and keep my volumes of books out to be 2-4 books novels or artwork every week. I want to be famous for all of the works and the only female to win 11 pulitzers. I am always screaming to attack an idea and I work for days. PLUS, I have a job. Is there money in it? and where is the money if you write something as good as  The Godfather?  Let me know. Maybe Al Pacino should pay me. I need feedback about where is this money. I get treated like a degenerate after living through pop culture and free love. and I want to sell to the masses. Who am I? Theresa Schlott. Please reply. 

What time do I like to work?

Well then, I work my day job as a PA to the Branch Manager for National Edging Nelspruit Branch in Sunny South Africa. My day job hours are as follows:  I work Monday to Friday: 07h30 to 16h30. So I can only work my ODesk Assignments from say 17h30 to 21h30 Mondays to Fridays and I can work on Saturdays and Sundays.

 I have to get some sleep in too. So I guess we all belong too a pretty diverse team. Many different strokes for many different folks.

 

Have a great day and Good luck with your book.

Warm Regards,

ADMINISTRATOR

programmer by day, designer by night

I work as a programmer/analyst for a power company in Iligan City, Philippines between 8:00AM to 5:30PM, with a 1 1/2 hour lunchbreak.

I squeeze in an hour's worth of freelance work during lunch, since i live across the street from my office, and then starting at 6:00pm, and usually until 1:00 to 2:00AM, i do my freelance work. then i sleep until 7:30 and get ready for another day's work.

on saturday, i work from 8:00 to 12:00 noon, and freelance after that. sunday is oDesk day. =)

Some create their works because they have something to say, some - because they have something to earn, win or whaterver...

i also to you

Early up and late to bed...

I get up at 4:30 am everyday it seems like. Get my husband of to work and my kid ready, then I am on the computer working on one project or the other from about 6:30 am on. I work until about 2 pm when my family comes back home and then off and on until about 8 pm at night depending on what is needed around the house.
I guess you could say I work constantly when needed.

 

I work whenever I feel like it!

I work whenever I feel like it; because buyers in Hong Kong, the U.K. & Italy have a different schedule than mine, & I also have some medical issues. Smiling

Work Schedule

I typically get up around 6:00am, check out the news and start work around 6:30am until the job is done.  I also enjoy working over the weekends if needed.  Very disciplined and self-motivated to work from home.

Work schedule

As I understand it, the whole concept of this sort of a web based job is that one can work at variable times from home. For one, time zones of both parties may differ as also the nature and ugency of the assignment. My personal mantra would be to take a disciplined and commited approach to a job,  making optimum use of variable time schedules and personal priorities. 

Workie Workie

I've worked  until 3AM on a project. That's the power of the flexibility of working online.

I like to use business hours for shopping etc

I do my communication whenever the buyer wants to talk and I am awake enough to think (usually after 9am). I like to use business hours to get my shopping, laundry, etc done. I like to work after I've been awake for at least a few hours and I'm fully alert and have had a lot of coffee. Sometimes I go overboard and work into the wee hours but mostly I shut it down before midnight.

Theresa Schlott If you're serious and writing, there is no way to stop.

I tend to work during the

I tend to work during the day, I like having a 30-35 hour week, so working while no one is at the house with me, helps me focus and get everything done.
