I am bored!

There is not one single topic that has not been done before and often more than once but that is the nature of these types of foums. Whilst it does not exactly help it does explain why, from time to time, we all get bored or as you say suffer from MBOS. Because of my work committments I am often in a position where I cannot get here to myLot for days and in the past that could have been weeks or months in fact. Those breaks alone stopped me from contracting that terrible MBOS "disease" so my thinking is that maybe you need a break of a day or three. Then you can see whether you are looking at myLot through fresh and different eyes or whether your sabbatical needs to be a little longer for it to be really effective. Another thing is that in recent times we have seen so many discussions, in one form or another, started on the subject on Christmas. The new ones of course are about New Year and what we would like to happen in 2009, i.e. our dreams and aspirations for the coming year. Once or twice it is okay but to respond to them but many members (including myself) simply lose interest in repeating the same thing over and over again. It is not the topic started though as everyone wants to get responses to their own discussions. The other thing is that a search will often not show that a topic has been started yet because the same type of discussion can be started by more than one member at the same time. Good luck to you and I suggest taking a break from myLot for a couple of days and after that you could possibly come back and look at things through new eyes.

Hi! I recently hear my sister say the same thing... I"M BORED! And she'is pregnant by the way. She's supposed to be excited. I don't know what to say to her. I just said find things that are not a regular routine work for you. Find something interesting to do which you haven't done in a lon time.

HI Positiveminded1977. If I were you I would just unplug my computer and go for a walk. I would not log on to mylot until I feel ready for it. Otherwise you would end up just wasting time here. It's not the first time that I had the MBOS and ended up staring at the screen.

Hi positiveminded, Well I get like that sometimes with some mylot discussions so I just go on to my other site or write a blog then come back to it, but I don't ofeten get bored with mylot though. Tamara

i feel that all the time.. most of the discussions are already done.. the rest have nothing much to discuss... the technical and in depth discussions never happen.. il take a break after a week. maybe if i come back after that i might be interested once again. enjoy your break too... bye happy new year

This is quite normal because we have contributed a lot and come to the stage that we need to recharge. It is good to rest for a while and the new ideas will emerge from our brain. We can read some books to absorb more.

If it's any consolation my friend we all go through this 'patch' one time or another and I am no exception, some days I think, I just can't be bothered and just don't have the energy or inclination to post or discuss, but those days pass, if you give Mylot a break then come back to it you will enjoy it more, it does become a chore if you feel you have to log in and respond every single day, like anything in life, familiarity breeds contempt as they say. A break is a good as the rest, forgive the cliches but I hear what you are saying and in the end you just shrug it off, have a laugh. Have a wonderful new year my friend, wishing you a healthy and happy one.

Well that is why I belong to others to because here is not the same any more not like it was when I joined 3 Years ago Now I just come here now and again and spend more time at the others to be honest Hugs to you and have a great New Year

[i]Hi positive, I have the same feeling and I am trying to divert my attention doing other stuff and watching my favorite series.... I am working here for 20 minutes each day, I can't be active as before like spending 4-5 hours here![/i]

Yeah, I'm pretty bored with it too. Over the course of the year I've been here I've seen people say that the only reason they come on anymore is just for their friends, and that is about where I have arrived with it myself. If it wasn't for you and a couple others I'd be outta here.

I am like that right now. The problem is that rarely do I read a genuinely new discussion. Most have been here before and I've relied to them or posted them myself! So I spend a while just dipping in and out whilst catching up with other stuff. Now the sea sounds alike a good place to go. Come on, we'll go together. Sandals or bare feet on the sand. I prefer bare feet. I love to feel the squishiness of the sand as it oozes up between my toes. No - you can't take your salwar trousers off here just because that wave caught you. Funny though. You weren't expecting it. Did you bring the picnic? No, I've got it. Oh you did. That's OK, then we'll pool our food and make a day of it. Now, let's make a sandcastle, stand on it and dare the waves to soak us!

Don't you just hate it when you see discussions that are of no brainer and of absolutely no interest to others, namely those that you have just mentioned! It's like what we like or what we prefer is like of no interest to anybody else isn't it? And the worst thing is that some starts these sort of discussions just to rack up their discussion counts and at the same time to jack up their earnings! I just hate it! These are the exact 'poll' like questions that are against Mylot's TOS and well bringing down the entertainment value of Mylotting such that Mylot is no longer such an enjoyable place to be in any longer. High 5 my friend! I too, just feel like taking a long vacation by the beach doing nothing but just enjoy the serenity of what nature has to offer me. But the same thing like you, I just can't do that as I have lots of responsibilities at present moment =( Sigh~ But I believe that we will be able to achieve that dream one of these days, so long as we believe wholeheartedly that we will be able to take that sort of vacation! Continue to believe in what you want to have my friend and you will achieve it one day! Take care and happy mylotting to you too~!!

Yes I feel that too. But not for a long period of time. I posted that problem of yours a couple of weeks ago. What they advised to me was just rest for a while a day or two without opening your computer. Look for another diversion to refresh your mind. I am sure you're not living on an isolated place. Go on window shopping, watch movies relax yourself by giving a break...cheers and happy new year

yes, sometime i got this feeling too...... but i'm new to mylot, so i'm not talking about mylot...... I've visited other discussion board and forum...... be honestly, my main purpose at mylot wasn't for making money......^^

Personally, I think every person who has been active here for any time, has felt like this a time or two. I have even had to almost force myself a time or two to be a little more active in here each month if I am going to reach payout. But it really is up to you. If you feel like you need a Break from here for a while, go do some other things, and enjoy yourself. You will know when the time is right to come back. Even though there will be many of us who will miss you, the choice should be yours, and hope whatever you decide it ends up being the Best for you as well.

yes we all go through periods where we just need a break from mylot, I am looking I have varies online sites that I go to so when I am bored with one I can go with another one.

There are days when I suffer MBOS. I think it is about now. I'm going to go on Mylot Diet for awhile and try to complete my work as much as possible. Deadline is getting super near! It's scary...

Yea I guess everyone here go's through mylot burn out sometimes, Iv definitely had those days were I cant think of anything interesting to talk about or I dont feel like discussing anything, but I stay motivated by the fact that if I dont post I wont make payout and also I want to make sure I dont forget my friends here at mylot too I want to make sure I help them make payout too, so I think about a lot of factors to help me stay motivated but there are days were I may take a brake and go shopping or just relax and watch DVDs or do a few aron's just live sometimes it helps to take a few short brakes to help you think of fresh ideas and keep you from getting bored with mylotting. Well cheers and happy new year.

I've been bored with myLot recently too. I haven't been posting as much as I did in the past weeks. Today is actually the most I've posted this week and I only posted about 20 times. I didn't know what to write about and the topics seemed repetitive before. Now I'm trying to find discussions I can say a lot about and trying to just make more money.

Yeah, I hear you. I'm so new to mylot(only responded to, i guess 40 discussions) and already bored. I can't find that many interestingdiscussions and am forced to respond to discussions like " What will you wear today?" or "Do you think green is better then blue?". It's too BOOOOOOOOOORRRING!!
