Not had much mojo to do much this month. Monday was busy.

Is anybody else finding this month very slow?
Seems since October hit work has took a nose dive

End of furlough, perhaps?

I was doing amazing last month I’ve been to Oxford and Southampton and did terrible in both. I’ve gone from doing 5 jobs a day to one if I’m lucky. I’ve noticed a massive downturn this month. It’s depressing as hell sitting in hotel rooms for nothing.

Thankfully, my diary is fully booked this month, although I did have to cancel one client. However, what I have noticed is the traffic to my website has more or less flatlined completely and this is a concern, not least because I'd usually have the next few months booked by now too.

I’m plodding along ok, but I am very PT and too lazy to do more if I’m honest. I’m happy to only see 10/12 per week.
I will say though new client enquiries have definitely increased in the last week which I am putting down to the profile verification process and many profiles dropping off AW because of this.

I've had more people cancelling this week due to being pinged by the NHS app than any other week!

I'm v. part time too, I don't see anywhere this number a week or even in a month! I am always curious to know what others mean by part-time, so it is interesting to see some idea of clients a week.

I'm really glad AW's new verification is working in your favour  :)

I'm very part time as well. Think the most I've ever seen is 4 in one day and 8 in the space of five days.
Pre covid, a busy month would be around 25-30 bookings. Now I'm happy with half that  :)

I do afternoon through to evening, and a morning twice a week. In the run up to Christmas I might do an extra day.

Well by the usual standards I would think the vast majority here are part time - I doubt many are doing forty hours of bookings every week, week in and week out?

I'd also raise an eyebrow at the idea that ten to twelve bookings a week is 'very' part time unless it's some kind of weird stealth boast - I work four days a week and twelve bookings would be average for me (as in not busy but not quiet either). Very part time to me would be somebody doing a handful of bookings (less than one a day) a week or even a month.

This thread often gets derailed with similar stuff when people rightly question how any of it can mean anything when everybody's idea of busy and quiet is different. The answer is it doesn't mean anything; it's a repository thread for posters to have a moan and was created way back when to stop the section being bunged up with dozens of threads all about the same thing when somebody's phone hadn't rung for an hour (ditto the Hello thread).

Then one of us separates these posts and adds it to one of the 'What do you call busy/quiet?' threads, this one gets back on topic and we all live happily ever after until it starts all over again :).

Amy's post more of less summed up many of my thoughts and are in line with my own. Her 'definition' of very part-time is exactly how I view it/work - I do this alongside a full time job so see a handful of clients a month (which usually works out to one per week).

I am always incredibly curious when people mention they're part time too as often, their volume is very different to my own. It's like when some talk about being 'low volume' then talk about how they see 3 clients a day, 5 days a week. To my mind, that's not low volume at all. However, when juxtaposed with someone who sees up to 10 clients a day, then yes, it's low volume.

It's all relative really and it's always interesting to see others' definition of what are actually nebulous terms.
