That's good, you have the patience to be noticed on Upwork. I have never been successful on such sites. Perhaps I have no patience to keep bidding so I never get anything. Haha. But then again if you keep on bidding and not get any project, Upwork will suspend your profile or something. Way to go! Lol. I prefer to freelance on my own, at least I get some projects here and there.

Staying sane at home means taking a break from all the work for at least a day or two. Go out and do something else. Haha. There are plenty of other freelancing sites online. I'm sure you'll make it there as well. If you like to do simple tasks then I have the perfect site if you'd like to try it out.
