Today I have come here to myLot. As usually I started to read new discussions, best discussion and so one. Looking for any discussion which will catch my attention so I would be able to add something. But as I am looking harder and harder I am unable to find one which will really impressed me and I would have something to say to it. I am here for about an hour and add only 2 poor comments
Somebody could say I am burned out because a lot of posting here but this is not truth, I was not here often during last few days.
Do you have sometimes this kind of day? How do you fight against it? Is the only solution a longer break from myLot?

I actually have had this happen in here for me quite often. That is when I usually will end up giving up, and go check my Email, or do other things, and then come back later. Or sometimes I have to go to the area where my friends have started discussions, or the No responses area, etc. and check and see if their is something there I can post back too as well. But when in doubt, I find it best to leave for then, and come back in here at a better time as well.

maybe you were having personal problems, or you are focused in other things that you cant even focus here in mylot... it happens to me a lot...im burnt out, but not necessarily with mylot that's why i cant even think of any comments to post or i cant find topics that would interest me at that moment...

I feel the same way once in a while. I just cruise around MyLot until a discussion catches my eye. I also look for replies to comments that I make so I can comment on them. I always check out discussions that my friends start because many have similar interests.

i know what you mean. i have noticed lately that there are not that many discussions that i am intersted in replying to as well. the days that there are a lot of interesting discussions seem to be few and far between. i think the novelty of mylot has worn off for me (i have been here a year and a half).

Yes it feels sometimes like that, its better not to force, just leave and you'll find plenty to answer tomorrow. But to tell you the truth Im having troubles finding some interesting topics today aswell..so it might not even be you maybe there just isnt any good stuff today.

That's the way it goes somedays dieorfly. When I"m stuck I usually go into where I can find my catagory interests, look at each of them and usually that strikes an idea in my head on what I want to write about. Sometimes for myself I find that when I start feeling overwhelmed I will just go surf the web and do something else and the next day is back to normal
Have a great day and good luck

For those who are here to earn solely, I can see that it is hard to find a discussion to respond to. I used to be here for just the earnings, but then soon learned to enjoy discussions and have since found many that I like. Taking a break just to find discussions worth making would be better. I did that once and found atleast ten I could make that same day, I don't believe I made so many that day though.

yes i can understand how it happens when you dont find any discussions of your interest and it becomes very difficult to answer any of the discussions. it is the same i am feeling from about three days and today also i am finding it hard to respond to most of them and hence a day ago i started my own discussions and tried to respond to the responses i got, but daily i cant do that it as it is not so easy to think and get some new discussions and hence i have to respond also but due to lack of the discussions of my interest i am not able to do that.
but good luck to you and somehow try to manage and nothing else can be done and happy mylotting.

I have those days too and I have just not posted anything because I felt like what's the use. Then there are days where I am like wow, that's good, alright- I can add to that. So I think that is really where are interests come in. I check daily normally but I also work 12 hour shifts as a nurse so on those days- I have to watch my ruined attitude as it relates to society in general (I can be really hateful those days).
Good luck and happy mylotting.

I am having one of those types of days as well. And I can't claim burnout either, because I was not able to be here yesterday past noon. So I had an entire half a day break yesterday. And still I'm not feeling it. *LOL* I think that I am just not feeling all that creative right now. And I feel tired for some reason. I could easily take a nap right now. Oh, and I am probably PMS'ing too. I know, I know, you NEEDED to know that! So, it is probably just one of those things. I want to post enough today to push my total earnings over $15, but that is not going to happen unless I snap out of it! I am sure that is the evening hours approach, that myLot will get busier and the Discussions will pick up. I can't wait! :)

These past two days have been difficult for me to find things that I really want to respond too. also, my friends' discussions did not come up and so zI had nothing to check. I guess that there will be dys like this. My time is limited. I do mylotting before work, lunch time and sometimes a bit after work. I lilke getting to know my friend's better and meeting new friends too.

I really happens to me - sometimes I just get sick of posting, and what really helps is a 5-7 days break from MyLot and focusing on other opportunities. I think it is normal that your mind needs to get refreshed and you just needto collect more daily adventurs in order to come back to MyLot and start posting with passion again LOL.

I think that by sticking to a number of earning opportunities you always get hold of some news by browsing different sites every day, so it should help you with your post/discussion ideas for MyLot.

I haven't really been around on mylot that much but I have experienced that as well. I admit that I really don't have a lot of ideas to begin a discussion with and that's natural for me (lol) but for the past week that I have been here the good topics are becoming lesser and lesser. The only thing that kept me going was that I don't have anything else to do! Msybe you're right about a long break from mylot to get 'freshened up.'
