We're hoping to be able to move away from bidding sites altogether as we continue, but we still submit bids through Guru. Unsurprisingly, our proposals get accepted a lot less often now that we are asking for a more reasonable (still low) rate of pay! Allena,

I had a really low motivation day yesterday, so it's refreshing to hear that not only am I not alone, but there are ways to get through it and renew my motivation. Thanks again.

This past week and a half has found me low on motivation. It doesn't help that my major source of income is winding down for the year and won't resume full throttle until January. I am one of those types of people that just languishes when there's not much to do. I need to find more (paying) work! What a timely article. This past week and a half has found me low on motivation.
