I needed a break on Sunday

I am only away from my computer a few hours at a time and I'm so far behind that it's not even funny. Now with Christmas vacation coming up with my kids and a new puppy, I don't even know if I ever will be able to catch up. I can't complain about the cold weather compared to where you live, but I can't wait for Spring to get here. Plus maybe with more sleep, I will be able to get more done including everything around my house. Only time I delete anything even if I could get paid, is when it doesn't relate to me and I don't know anything about that subject.

I am like you, I just keep trying to catch up. I would love to get caught up, but I just keep getting further and further behind. I have 1200 emails to catch up on. Good luck to you.

Sorry to hear that winterose. I know how it is to get behind. Right now i have 918 mail in my inbox and that is after I sorted it out and what is left is Mylot mail that I got behind on and I haven't deleted none yet because I am behind I just diligently shovel through what I can daily. Even though more keeps arriving daily. I answer the new discussions first because they are at the top. I know I need to work harder but I have only set times I can be online at this time. So I guess soon it will be my nose to the grind stone.

I have 991 e-mails undone. This is more than any other time of the year. Happy holidays

I do take a break on sundays otherwise it becomes difficult for me to carry on for the next week. I agree with you that it becomes hard to catch up on mondays , but then I've to delete some of the mails. If I stress too much I am unable to give proper response to my friends. Don't you think body needs one day rest to rejuvenate?

Yes I always experience that especially on Sundays. I need to go to church on Sundays to attend our worship service and to do a lot of paper works there. (I'm a church officer) As expected, my emails are over-flowing.... Luckily, I get to respond and finish all the discussions that I received.. Thank God!

i had to take a break of one week and my inbox was flooded with e-mails.it took me many weeks to catch up.i donot delete the e-mails as they are mostly of my friends who have started a new discussion.

oh if I just go out for a few hours I am ok its when I am away from home several days that I have trouble might take a week to catch up with even mylot lol

now that i am back to work part time, i have very little time on the computer and i dont spend a lot of time on mylot either. it will take more than a month to make payout on here! i find that if i am away from yahoo for more than a day, it gets crazy because i belong to a freecycle organization in my city.

[i]Hi winterose, I've been inactive for a lot of weeks already and with over 500 friends, I have tons of mails but I am deleting some of them since it talks about earning and politics which I don't like to join with! I am still coping this time day by day but unlike before, I can type for 4-5 hours without long break, I am tired this time and I get destructed easily![/i]

I also feel the same way. If it is going to make me money no way is it going to be deleted. However, it might be that you get a lot of junk mail like I do. I can tell by the sender if I need to read or discard right away.

Really sunday is the day to enjoy and for rest too...only day we can spend with our family member and share the views about the current week...sunday i hate outing wana spent time with my family and friends...some discussion and some relax coffee feels mind and body relax and cool to handle with...:)

I have enough time to response the discussions,but I can't express myself very well,English is my second language I has been learning for a few years.If I can speak English fluently someday I will not delete anying in my inbox.

I think that you should start taking more breaks. Computers and techonlogy are what are runing the true quality of life. The world was not made for you to sit on the computer all day, and I definitely think that it should be an everyday occasion to get out of the house and do something. The computer should be your relaxing time. There's so much more to life than the internet .. South Park will make you aware of that . Try and find the episode of when the boys of South Park become addicted to World of Warcraft, and just the things they say show you how ridiculous we are as people to be addicted to computers. It's really funny actually.

I only try to do what I can. There isn't a need to beat yourself over not being able to read and respond to every discussion. I do what I can. I know that it would pay me to respond to every discussion, but time doesn't allow me.

I do feel that I get far behind, not so much in emails but in reciprocating reads from people who read my stuff and comment on sites like this one and Gather. I also get kind of frustrated because I have not had the proper amount of time to write reviews, or post questions, and discussions. I also have a business where I sell things over the internet, and I don't like getting behind in processing orders. I don't have a lot of emails coming to me that earn me points or money, just a few, so it is not usually difficult to get to those, and get them done. But there is a lot of other online stuff to catch up with.

Hi Carol, I know just how you feel. I went out yesterday evening with my sis and ate dinner and went to Walgreens. I was also only gone for a couple of hours and you would have thought I was gone all day. I had emails piled up, MyLot responses that needed to be done, my blogs to update and I still hadn't fed the pups yet. I am still playing catch up today. I REALLY hate being gone all day for something. I feel so bad when I come home and work like the dickens to try to get caught up and I never seem to. I guess you could say I am "addicted" to my computer. Happy MyLotting! Char

It's Sunday!So you can do what you like!I have met some things which worry me very much,maybe I will just go out to buy something to eat with some friends,too.As for me,when I'm in trouble,eating can calm my heart,everything will be better.
