$20 a day- or more importantly $100 for the week. I just don't have the time or set-up for more, plus I get agitated and obsessed if I can't make the goal so it has to be attainable :D What about yourself?
I feel that! I have multiple goals for that reason kinda.

$10 if I'm "sick" or anything, $20 if it's a bad Turking day and nothing is going on, $30 minimum in general. But also if I get within $5 of a round number ($35, for example) I push it to that higher number.

I need to up my goals and figure out what I'm doing that is ineffective. I have plenty o time. Mostly.

I wish I could be this motivated. I get to $10 and I'm done. I realized today that my nap probably hurts my daily earnings too lol

I usually have quite a bit of time at work, otherwise I'd make very little. Next summer I may have to go back working the line which means not only a big ol' happy pay drop on my paycheck, but probably over a 50% cut in turk money too. Pooh.

I should push for the next round number, too. I tend to be laser focused until I hit goal, and then it's playing Candy Crush or online shopping or plotting to take over the world...

I don't think I'm all that motivated really. I'm motivated by the desire to not share a wall with the psychopath neighbor of mine. I wanna grow up to be a real Turkin star.

I feel like I'm unfocused UNTIL I get closer to goal! I get close to my goal and I'm like "But if I made $30, I could make $40!" and so on to infinity. Which can get unhealthy when huge batches of things (like that one 3 day period where Sergey had no cap and let the Qual'd hits flow like mana) drop b/c I'll legit just sit here like a robot and click away.

This is basically me. I try for at least $100 a week. Min goal $10 second goal $20 per day on days I work at my day job. $20 and $40 on off days. But sometimes I work until like midnight so it's pretty difficult, and I end up making it up with higher days. But if I get to $100 per week (I withdrawal on Wednesdays) I'm pretty happy.

Turk is a strange sort of hobby. An addiction to me like the casino, except when I step away for a few days I really don't want to start up again. Hopefully we can get Masters someday and closed quals and Turk like a SupaStar!

When i was newish and i seen those Noah trace the objects batch the first time, i sat there working away for about 16 hours straight, besides bathroom breaks and food, which was totally unhealthy, but i did make $298 that day.

Hey MTC fam! I'm alive. I miss you guys! :purpleheart:

Liam is doing great! He'll be 4 months old this month which is hard to believe. He's over 11 pounds now and is growing like crazy. He started out at 4 lbs 12 oz, so he seems huge to me now. :LOL: It's so cool to watch him learn and grow into this little person. And seeing him do things on purpose is amazing! :ROFL:

Unfortunately, my relationship with his dad did not withstand the stress of a baby and all of the life changes that come along with that. So that's why I haven't been on here. It's been a struggle dealing with the fallout and taking care of a baby 24/7 with very little help. BUT, I'm coming out of the mourning phase and am done feeling sorry for myself. This single mama has to start making money, so I should be around a lot more often.

Hope everyone is doing well. :love:

I just never learn. With not much action available to me (located in Canada) I did a bunch of easy P9R hits. I usually only do the ones that are multiple choice or transcribing numbers only. I did one "easy" one for 5 cents and rejected. I did send them a message so I'm hopeful of a reversal.
