How do you get down to business on MyLot?

It seems like every time I think I am going to sit down and be a little posting fool something happens. They baby starts crying, my son is whining that he wants to use the computer, a dog wants out, a dog wants in, someone calls, a knock at the door, and I get distracted from my goal. Then there is the housework, shopping, cooking and all the other stuff that makes it hard to sit down for more than a few minutes at a time some days. Half to time when I shut down the computer and go to bed at night I remember something that I was going to post and think to myself that I will post it tomorrow and the next day I usually forget.

I tend to come up with discussions throughout the day. If I'm at home, I post them immediately(i just leave mylot up all day and check it periodically). If I'm not at home, I write it in a little notebook that I keep with me, its intended use is for grocery shopping lists and such, but has turned into discussion questions, quotes, and a little bit of shopping lists. Whenever I think of a discussion throughout the day, I'll post it. If i have other things going on, I will just write them down and post them all later when I get home.

i dont usually start discussion, it will take me ages befor ei can think of an interesting topic (at least for me). So the moment i open mylot i already am starting with finding what i can answer.

I don't generally start discussions on mylot. I just go through my friends' discussions and see what I can find that is interesting, while I'm already doing something else anyway. I don't view mylot as a job. It's something that I just do for fun while I'm rating music or something like that. There are other discussion board type sites that I participate in that pay me better. That's why I quit mylot for a while, but recently I decided to come back, because I missed certain people and certain discussions here.

I don't post a whole lot of discussions to mylot. I try to answer as many as I can though. I posted one discussion tonight and that will probably be it for the month. I do find myself getting distracted here on mylot though. I will sit and read posts and and comments and wander around the site. I get the email that someone has responded to one of my comments on my cell phone. It is just where I have that particular email address going. So I will sit here and go look for that discussion that I commented on and notice that I have responded to like 4 discussions in all the time I had been here! I get lost in the entertainment of the site sometimes but that is ok. I might not be getting paid the big bucks, but I am having fun for the most part!

Hi, i understand your problem, you got so many other interests that keeps you busy and distracts you. For me, i also have many bussiness but i find a way that works for me. One, maybe you can try to create to do list or idea you want to post, dont make it too hard just a simple list will do. Two, i recently read the "Secret" book and it helps me a lot, it teach me to think positive and be happy all the time, so in the morning i start by saying thank you and gratitude for all that i have and i visualize the goals i want to achieve and last i try to make all happy mind inside my life whatever bad things happen, so when i am facing all the bussiness i can stay calm and do all the things together, i dont stress up even if i dont achieve my goals because i already tried my best and i can continue that tommorow. The point is i can live and do things happily and not ruin all my days. Hope that helps. Have a nice day

I don't normally start a topic. Most of the time I make replies to interesting topics. Maybe the only tip that I can give is to create a topic that never or rarely been discussed here and it has to be interesting. Many readers won't bother spending reading at boring or repetitively discussed topics.

I get down to business on all of my sites, the same way. I take my computer to The Second Cup, plug it in, log onto their wireless, and away I go!!! I'm there where no one can find me, I have my cup of coffee, I have my music on my headphones, and I am able to get a lot of work done that way. I usually show up around 10 AM and stay till 10 PM. I don't just get work done on MyLot that way, I get work done on all kinds of various websites!!!

LOL I had every intention of posting like crazy today too but ended up goin outside which is actually where I'm off to now since the sun is finally out and its warm enough to sit and enjoy the rest of the afternoon... I find that the best way to get at it for me is to NOT plan it LOL

Most of the time I comment to as many discussions that i can during the course of a day. I don't start that many discussions. Today i have only started 2 that might not even get and answer from anyone; but i comment more than anything.

i get distracted too sometimes. i have started a few discussions today and answered a few but i have so many other things to do that my mind is really not on doing this so i really should get my tail up off this chair and go do what needs to be done!

This is a good question,beauty queen. I am also wanted to know few tricks cause i found it hard to just concentrate and typing the post and new topics in myLot right away. So many things to do and so luutle time to do iy. So now I am only able to post about 10-20 post perday. Times like flew away when I post here and do some reply.
