Do you ever get so caught up in reading...

...in reading the discussions that you forget to reply to any of them? And then by the time you realize it your time is up? That happened to me yesterday. Well has that happened to you lately??

No not generally. When I am on here I normally have a goal set as far as how many discussions I want to respond to. So I am always watching my number to see how far I am. But I can see how this could happen. Best of luck!

Wow...I wish that I were as disciplined as you. I tell myself that I'm going to answer so many posts and I always get distracted by one or more good discussions.

I've done that a few times. Sometimes it gets so interesting that you're like staring into space. Time flies it seems when you're reading.

Yes, I know what you mean. Especially when there are links and the links have links you may never get back to the original post. :-)

I have gotten caught up in reading the discussions that are started by all of the people on my friends list and I have to stop and take inventory of what things that I am really interested in. On any given day I deleted from 75 to 90% of the emails I receive concerning the start of a new discussion. The reason why is not because I don't respect the people on my friends list or have an interest in their lives. The reason why is time management and that the email notices that I delete are just things that I don't have enough of an interest in to take the time to reply. If I replied to every discussion I would have no time left at all for other activities.

I struggle with time management all the time. Like today for instance, I knew that I had to run a few errands before work. I had to force myself to refocus every time something interesting caught my attention.

I’ve never been so enthralled by a discussion that I forgot to respond, but I have decided not to reply to some after reading a few posts.....but as far as reading them and forgetting to answer, no.

haha Yeah this has happened to me very frequently lately here on myLot which is why I don't have as many posts as others do on here :-P I get really caught up in reading the responses everyone makes and often read about three pages before realizing how much time I wasted! Hopefully this won't happen as much anymore though :-D Rated +.
