I sorta do both. I mean, I am up for about 5-10 minutes of every hour because I can't sit too long at a time. I have to get 1100 lines during my 8-hour shift, never a problem to get 1300 in that time, even with all my breaks, which are many.
If you are new to having a pool, there is a certain learning curve. You have to be able to hear lots of different voices and not get rattled, and moreover not slow down excessively. It comes with time, but it is frustrating at first. You set a pace that works for you. I work a split shift because I have to see the end of my shift and 8 hours too long to see to the end. My first is 3.5 hours. I usually do about 600 in that time and come back in the afternoon for another4.5 and do 700 in that time span. I am fresher in the morning and I type faster, but I am I stiff and get up more. I have better concentration and fewer breaks in the afternoon, but I am slower with typing. You will have something similar no matter how you do it, even in an straight 8-hour shift. You have to know yourself and work with that, whatever it is.
You can set goals for lines against the number of hours, ending with the minimum at the end of your shift. Hourly goals will make you feel defeated if you have a difficult ESL or a particularly tiring report where you had to look everything up. Set it for 2 or 3 or even 4. Don't beat yourself up if you can't do it right off the bat. Adjust your goals a bit and build on them. My company wants 1100 a day, but my goal is consistently do 1300 and I am working on that. You can do that too as time runs on.
Best of luck. |
