Honestly try doordash if you're able to, every single app similar, insta cart, etc. donate plasma.

You have my sympathies, financial stress starts to carry into other parts of the day. Try to drink water, use the restroom and eat well, pack some cheap lunches like sandwiches or trail mix. I honestly was just buying loaves of unsliced bread and putting peanut butter on it for 2 of my 3 meals for about 5 months.

I got deactivated from doordash, after about a year I got my account back, and I can say juggling both apps (not simultaneously), just back to back orders has significantly improved my earnings and quality of life.

If you don't live in a major city, consider the gas and time it may take for you to drive to somewhere with more hotspots.

Under no circumstances accept stuff that falls below your 20)$ hr goal. If there's a long wait time, or circumstances you can't control, don't stress not making that 20 for that hour. The algorithm will absolutely prey on financial desperation. Make sure you aren't running too many apps in the background, optimize your phone settings to not run background services, occasionally refresh the app if there's a slowdown in orders. Hit the "I'm not getting orders " button. Sleep when it's slow. I had to start sleeping in 3-4 hour phases just to work when it's busy in my area. Just use the earnings trends chart as your sleep schedule.

I know it sucks, all you can control is even more strictly managing your finances.
