Hi there! Well, I do not feel like I am actually losing interest when I am close to payout or when I already have reached payout. It's more like trying to do other things since I already have done my mission here. But that rarely happens. Considering the time I actually spend here on myLot which is only around 1 to 2 hours daily, I would rather spend that time here than in any other site. Though at times, it can be very tempting to work on other sites too.

Hello! Yes, I have felt like that already. It seems like you lost your objective in here: you are going to reach your payout anyway, so why hurry? Why try to hard to post if you are already sure you will earn your desired amount? Just set a new goal. Try to make five dollars more than your minimum payout. You will surely have trouble on making it, but at least it will give you a new objective at posting, and you will feel better. You will not feel bored in here, because this objective is going to take your further. And if you manage it, you will have five dollars more in your pocket! Respectfully, Munhozmib.

i too feel this way i think it,s because we have worked so hard to get to pay out once there we want to rest because this is some hard work too get to payout.once there also you have a feeling of relief because you have done what you set out to do.

Hi there fellow mylot-er. I actually loose the interest if i earn the payout but only after the end of the month, when i know that what i do won't matter for the payout that is bound to come, and i have to start all over again from 0.

I feel that way a little, I spend so much of my free time here on MyLot trying to reach payout, and I don't do my chores like I suppose to. I am near payout and I would like to use the extra time to catch up on things. I work week days so whenever I get a moment of time I am here trying to reach payout. I did get a change today to go outside and do some yard work. It takes a lot to reach this payout when you have other things to do.

Hi bhushandodkhe! Yes, I know what you mean... It has happened to me and it's difficult to get rid of that feeling, but keep going, keep posting and keep starting discussions, the month have still a few days left and you can do it. Don't stop. You and reach the cent that you need without note it..

I actually want to work harder when it's close to the end of the month and I'm so very close to payout. It makes me want to go that extra mile so to speak so I can get the maximum payment that I can before it's the last day and time to determine whether or not I get payout. However, sometimes I do lose interest here but it's usually after a few months of straight posting. I want to take a break for awhile before I come back here again.

Yes, sometimes I do feel the same. I think some people do feel this way when they are close to payout considering that we may tend to relax as we are assured that we will be reaching our goal.

i have a different story to tell you. it's a total contrast, coz i would be trying to reach payout the soonest possible time so i could relax and do something else or concentrate on other things. my laziness always pop up when i reach payout already and i did already so i'll try to observe if i do became lazy for the remaining days. in the past 2 months that's what happened to me, specially the month just passed. all that you have said is what i felt but that was after i reach payout.

Well I have been a member of this site for about 4 months now, and I haven't yet made a payout. In the first couple of days, and the last couple of days of the month, I will post and post in the hope that I will reach payout, but then I get lazy in the middle of the month and never really seem to make it! But I know that I can do it this month, as I have more than enough time to do it, even if I only post a couple of posts an hour, as I am off college and don't have anything better to do.

Hi bhushanbodkne. I know what you mean about loosing interest. I still have $5 to go but I'm having a hard time getting it. I was off for about a week and now I'm having trouble getting back into the groove. I probably won't make my payout this month but I'm sure I will next month.

Well Im the opposite I usally loose intrest sometimes when im to far away from the pay out which is why I dont post for a several days when I reach the payout since I get discouraged and look at how far I have to get and wounder how on earth am I going to get to $10 sometimes lol.

I'm usually just the opposite! If I'm close to a payout, I'm way more motivated to post. I want to reach the payout right away... then earn as much more as I can so that I have as big of a payout as possible! Also, the beginning of the month after I've earned a payout I post a lot. I'm really motivated to earn as much as possible him hopes that I'll get another payout this month too! It's usually when I'm no where near getting a payout that I get bored and don't post a lot.
