When do you do the most work online?

The only difference in summer is I sweat more when I mow the lawns. Other than that, it's business as usual

Really MrYum? No vacations? No Baseball games? No Camping, fishing or any other outside activity.

You guys need to start setting some time for yourselves offline. Burnout is not a pleasant time, believe me. I spent a year where I couldn't even turn on my PC. Of course, that was just after being burned out of a couple million dollars.

I spend most of the year about the same - and when I want a vacation I take it whether it be summer fall or winter - doesnt really matter. Jim, I think that most of the reason you would think more towards summer being the time for those things because of where you live - a lot of us live in places where its 80 deg and sunny in November
The other thing that might affect the summer some is the old theory that there was a summer slowdown (the old college kids out of school stuff) - in my opinion that doesnt have any effect any more as the college kids have grown up with computers/internet all their lives and getting that access and a CC at college doesnt play into the equation much - 5 years ago there was a very noticable effect - but just doesnt seem to play anymore - my July sales outdid January by a long shot wheras in the old days it would be the other way around

You're probably right Linkster. We are locked in our homes here sometimes from November until March or April. So, when summer finally gets here...woohoo. Everyone is out and about doing something.

That was the reason my first thought of a career was being a High School Teacher like my Mother. I remember her asking me the first year I had to work during the Summer, what it was like. During her entire life, she never had to work from the end of June until the beginning of September. She went from High School to College to Teaching. It was like being a kid all life long.

I have never experienced a summer slowdown either, but maybe if we had reached some kind of growth plateau we'd notice it. Either way, seems like all the more reason to work MORE in the summer to make up for it rather than less, but I'd probably feel differently if I had kids.

As it is I'd rather vacation in the spring and fall. We basically work and take time off regardless of season, just whenever it needs to be done.

Yea...sad, but true Jim. Hell, my bass boat hasn't been in the water in 2 years. I've had my bike for 6 years...it's got just over 6k miles on it. Haven't taken a real vacation in...longer than I care to think about

However, the time WILL come...and soon I hope! Just too many things to get done to get this business where I need it to be. In the mean time, I'm payin my dues so to speak

All seasons the same here. If I had anything meaningful in my life there might be seasonal variations, but no.

Anyway, I don't see the logic in slacking off during summer/holidays. Traffic/conversions tend to dip a little, but if I work less that would reduce my income even more.

Summer.

I'm still in college. My family wonders if I'll ever graduate.

[Kinky]

I like to take it easy in the summer


but you really should add "I never get anything done no matter the season" to the poll for me n UW

All Seasons About the Same

You’re a fucking hippy for sake your not supposed to be done with college until your 35.
You then travel Europe for 5 years on a government sponsored grant basically fucking off only to return to teach college, wear sweaters with patches on the elbows and bang naive coeds while T.A.’s teach your classes.
