They don't go together well.

In my second summer as a poker affiliate I am feeling what probably a lot of the more experienced poker affiliates feel during the summer - Less work, more play.

Last summer was my first summer as a poker affiliate and I actually did a pretty solid job of working. At the time I was only making around $1000 a month through affiliate income, so I had to do a lot of side jobs writing. Making anywhere from $1500-$2000 a month last year I guess I had to make sure I was working hard and getting up early everyday just to get by.

This summer I am making enough to get by without having to do much work, and find it a lot harder to work during the summer. There is always something to do - go to the beach, drink beers outside, play sports. I really need to get more disciplined and get more work done this summer so I can achieve my goals for the year. I started off getting back into the right track last week when I invested in a very nice design from Eyenod here at the forums for my new Poker Rakeback site. I also have my hotel booked for the Niagara Falls affiliate meet up which should help me with motivation, hanging out with some of the ballers from PAL.

My plan is to work really hard for the rest of this summer, hit my income goals for the year, and then maybe next year I will be able to take some time off and do some traveling and fun stuff.

What is your guys work ethic like in the summertime?

    Mine is awful man. There's too much other stuff going for me to sit inside and work.

    I decided to splurge on a laptop a month or so ago cuz i was going absolutely crazy staying inside while it was so nice outside. Needless to say I hate the damn thing and have maybe used it half a dozen times. Im spending less time on the pc in the evenings but still make a go of it during the day. Weekends are hit or miss right now

    I have definitely worked less this summer then I have in awhile. It's hard when the weather is so nice and the beach is so close.

    My work hours always go down a bit in the summertime. Living in the Midwest, the winter is so bad that during summertime you really just want to take advantage of it.

    With that said though, the unfortunate thing is that emails don't stop coming in and business still has to get done. I also find it much easier to get behind or overwhelmed with "to do's" during the summer.

    I try to work in the morning/daytime during the week and take the entire weekend off. So far it is working pretty good.
