The problem for those working online full time is getting away from the computer every couple of hours. Set task time limits and take those breaks and you will be more effective.

Funny, the rest of the world has caught on many years ago. Go to Spain for instance, and try to get your banking done around 2 p.m. Good luck. Siesta is a way to give people a break so that they can come back refreshed. Maybe we should copy that?

Getting paid based on results is way better than paid vacations & overtime and all that stuff people call "benefits". Getting paid on results allows you to do whatever you want and whenever you want. Think about it.....Are you a results creator? Or a work processor? One makes way more money than the other and can pick any benefit they want. Make sense?
