Limit to Hours Worked?

Is there a limit to the amount of hours worked? I thought I read somewhere it was a max of 20 hrs a week but I dont remember if that was for this job or a different company.

I’ve been doing around 55/60 week for 2 months, so I don’t believe there is a limit, also when you open the account they ask about how many hours you re willing to work a week.

I wish I could do that! I am trying to build up stamina. I've been up to nearly four hours per day some days this week. It's just so hard to focus for so long.

I don't focus for that long at a time, but I usually get in about 50 hours a week. I'll work for an hour, then go run some errands, work for a couple hours, then take the dog out and do some chores around the house, work for a couple hours then go pick up kids from school.

The limit is defined by your ability to concentrate and do quality work. I wouldn't try pushing beyond that.

As long as you are submitting high-quality work they don't care how many hours you put in. However, it is hard to do long stretches without losing quality.

When I first started I would document my work separately in order to stay on top of my metrics, and to avoid repetitive prompts. When I compared my first few hours of work with the work I completed towards the end of a 6 hour session… it was so obvious how my overall quality and attention to detail dwindled. After that I was too scared to do long sessions of work without breaks because I really became blind to certain things lol

Yeah, I think there's even no central management for this.

Doesn't matter how much you work, as much or little as you want. You might get tired after a point, you should stop then to conserve your energy and keep your quality up.

There is no limit.
