How hard is the transition

Hello all of you working Fakku members, I have a question.
I know this is different for everyone depending on the job but just out of curiosity how hard is the transition from part-time to full-time employment. I just want to make sure I don't end up burning myself out with habits that I developed during part-time work.
I am asking this because I have always done part-time work with my father during the summer but this time I am going to be full-time.

Not that big of a deal I don't think. I've never been employed full-time, but I've done part-time work and part-time-full-time as well. Part-time-full-time is a joke though. You work full-time, but get none of the benefits of full-time employment (e.g. no vacation days, medical benefits, etc...)
You often only run into part-time-full-time through temp agencies though, which means overtime you're likely to get a full-time positon.
Where was I going with this? Anyway, not that big of a deal.

So what, you're going from random/short shifts to a 9-5? Its kinda hard to adjust at first. Mainly due to relearning how to manage your time. Its exhausting at first but it gets easy as it goes along.

However I get paid commission for jobs so the more the better I guess.

I experienced the opposite. I went from full time/40 hours to part-time/20. It kinda sucks 'cause I have more freetime that comfortable but it covers my rent. I guess that bit's ok.

Mostly worked part-time before, except for a two week period about half a year ago, and tomorrow I'm going on a interview for a new full-time job (that I most likely will get, seeing that they're just hiring anyone that can do the job), and I'm getting discouraged like hell -_- I kinda feel like an hikikomori, but a full-time workday is so god damn long, I've gotten too used to not working at all during this month that I've been unemployed.
Anyway, you will most likely not burn yourself out even working full-time. Me personally I'm just scared of the 8 hours of boredom I'm gonna have to face every day -_- Being bored is like poison to me.
