I'm trying to cut down! At first, I was checking every few minutes, just to see if I got A SINGLE CLICK. hahaha. My first ever $0.18 was the sweetest! Now, as the income gets a bit more regular, there's not so much need to check. Now I just make graphs in Excel to chart the increases, small though they are. I don't know why, but if I earn $100 in a day doing my regular job, it doesn't make any difference. But if I earn $10 in a day through Adsense, I feel great about it. It feels like money for nothing (which it isn't, as I work hard at it) and it feels like money that I can spend on what I like, instead of on my mortgage and food. Weird, huh? And the best bit is that I get paid for Saturdays and Sundays too.
