Are you ever surprised at how much time you have spent on mylot?

I have been sitting here responding to discussions and starting them since 8:00 this morning when I got up. I just noticed the time and it's after 10:00! I got up a few times to refill my coffee cup but basically I've been sitting here all that time. I've been meaning to go to my unresolved discussions but keep finding discussions I want to respond to or thinking of something new to write about. I'll never get to those unresolved discussions the way I'm going. Have you found yourself sitting there for a long time and not realizing it? Do you know what the longest time you have spent on mylot was?

It's true, ctry, time does seem to get away from you once you sign into myLot, lol. I have been trying to break myself from the habit of staying on for very long periods of time lately. I will usually sign in for an hour or so, then go to something else for awhile. I have managed to put in about 3 hours in one sitting in the past. MyLot can be quite habit-forming!

For me any site where I can make money is habit forming. I too have been doing better but trying to make it to that payout.

I think with winter coming for most of us we are going to see a lot more going on around here don't you?

I have the firm belief that the internet is the thief of time and there are days when I have sat here typing for what seems like moments but was really hours. I think the longest I have been on MyLot in one time was a while ago when I spent the best part of nine hours before realising that it was dark outside and both my partner and the cat were complaining they had no dinner. LOL

That's a great way to put it! It does seem like a short time when in reality it's been hours. Time flies when you're having fun right?

initially when i joined mylot, i used to spend 2-3 hrs daily on mylot, at that time i agree i wasnt much aware of the time i used to spend on mylot, but since my spendings were more compared to the amount i earned, i decided to reduce down the time, so now always care to make a note of the time i spend daily on mylot.

Yes, as soon as my earnings are in my paypal account I seem to spend it. But I'm happy the money is there for me because I usually have some need for it.

It sometimes surprises me how much time I spend on the internet in general. I do other things while I am on mylot, so it is not all just here. I do manage to stay on the internet for hours at a time though.

I never did figure out how to do other things while I'm here. I guess I'm not as multi-tasking as I thought I was.

Oh my gosh, there have been times when I've been on mylot for hours and I don't realise. I sit here and respond to one discussion that I think I should stick my nose into, and then before I know it, there's 20 more I like the look of! I think someones doing it on purpose! Trying to lure me to stare at my screen blankly for hours at a time. I really enjoy it though, I enjoy reading about what other people are thinking, it makes me think about stuff that wouldn't normally concern me. It's informative! I think the most I've spent on here is 4 hours on and off - between sorting out washing and having some food etc. I just love reading other people remarks. It's official, I don't have a life ha ha!

yes, it is so easy to get addicted! My goal was to reach my payout, which I did last night, and here I am again this morning! I think the longest time I have ever been on is probably about five or six hours. I try to limit my time and do things that pay better, but they're not as much fun!

I try to do the same thing too. I am a cha cha guide and generally make more money there. When I start thinking about what I can make there I usually quit there and go there. I have to figure out how to do both.

No not really...I guess because I do so many other things while I'm on here and i do have a habit of watching the clock anyway so I'm always aware in the back of my mind how long each of my sessions on here is etc ya knwo.

Constantly, I find this occuring to me. It's my fault I guess. Not that I really care how much time I spend on My Lot, but my husband does. He calls it the gossip column. I just sucked into responding to people, & have made good friends. Some discussions are very interesting.

Yes I totally am. But I am also surprised when I actually am not on it for a while too. I haven't really been on in a couple days and it felt very strange not to be here with all of you. I think the longest I have gone being on here all at once was about three or four hours. HEHE Glad to be bad but only have an hour or so today if I am lucky. :)

I feel the same way when I stay a few days at my daughters house. I can't help but think that I'm missing getting to my payout amount. Talk about addiction!

The first time I joined mylot, I somewhat surprised that I spent long time sitting in front of my computer posting discussion in mylot. But now, I do it less than before since I have something else to do. But I never count how long I spend my time here exactly.

You have no idea how many times I've caught myself doing that! I have all the laundry to do, housecleaning, shopping, etc. and what do I do?.....play on mylot for hours on end. LOL I've actually spent over 10 hours here, and then wondered why I had the killer headache when I went to bed. LOL
