I don't spend very much time on here to be perfectly honest. I sometimes can squeeze in a half hour here, and a half hour there. This place seems to take up so much of my time after clicking 'reply' and waiting for the next page to upload.
So how much time do you spend here a day, and is it worth it?
I'm not saying this is a bad site. I'm considerably impressed. After all, it is free money. But sometimes it feels like there are other things I could be doing that would be more productive, like my laundry...lol
What activities have you given up? And a better question might be, what are you backed up on, and how do you fit this site into your life?

Before i joined this website i used to spend more than 2 hours on Orkut. But after i joined here now i am trying to spend more time here. Because here these are paying for our discussion and views. Isn't it great ? i like to spend more time here.

I don't come onto MyLot every single day. Sometimes I will do MyLot several days in a row, and then sometimes I skip days. I don't really do it for the money. I do it because I like it. It's different, and it gives me a break from the other things I do on the internet. When I am on here, time can get away from me. I will be on here for an hour or more before I know it. There are definitely other things I should be doing (housework!). But I spend a lot of time on the internet doing various other things...so MyLot is a nice change of pace sometimes for me.

I spend over more one hour in here with the 0.04 return.It's very difficult to earn much money here,I have calculated myself,if I want to earn 37.5$ here one month,I should reply more than 50 times and it's takes 2 hours a day.It's really a bad thing if the only intention is to earn money here.

I usually allot a few minutes a day, usually 30 minutes, to reply and post comments on mylot. Sometimes, I get so engrossed in replying to several discussions that I don't notice I already spent more than 30 minutes on mylot. But of course, I only log on to mylot during my spare time. Work will always come first.

That is like me. I do log onto myLot during my spare time in between doing other chores around the house including caring for my family.
So I can't be on here for hours at a stretch.
It is true that time can go fast if you are especially engrossed with posting and responding to comments.
Thirty minutes does not seem like too long but then again you have other work to do and that takes up more of your time.
But it is a good thing for some outside of the home working people to be able to find the time to spend here just for some fun or a little extra spending cash.

I also don't spend too much time in myLot. I comes to myLot whenever I am free and I have time so that I can spend some time in myLot. I think it is great to spend some time and to earn some extra money in myLot. I spend around half an hour to two hours a day, but I don't log in everyday on myLot.

I try to spend at least an hour on here. Lately I've been lucky to manage that much. Used to be that I could spend two, but it's just been hard to find time lately...especially on the internet, with so much else to do, and with so many other people in the house who use this computer.
I don't give up anything, it's just time-management and the arrangement of priorities. Heh.

Have a nice day

I spend a little less time here then I used to when I first got introduced to this site. I do like to spend a couple of hours here and there when I have the time.
I am a stay at home mother and I do have some other obligations however.
There is of course the laundry, dishes and some other duties. But I like to find some time to correspond with others and also to earn a little extra income on the side.
It might take some time to accumulate money here but then again it also depends on your determination and dedication to myLot.
It can also be a lot of fun here and I have made some new friends from all over the world. myLot does have its merits and they are very dependable a site.
You are right about there being other things that we can be doing during the day that is why I don't spend a lot of time here on a daily basis.
I have a good friend that I hang out with now and I don't have a car so when I get the chance she usually helps me out to get me out of the house for a little while and I am not necessarily sitting in front of the computer half the day.

I am here almost every night spending three to four hours until i feel i need to go to sleep already. I have a regular daytime job and i log in to myLot as soon as i get home from work, see if there are any messages from my friends and take a look at the new discussions they have started. After a while i get busy in the kitchen then come back here after dinner.
Having no children nor pet to attend to, i can use up my three hours or more joining in the discussions here while my husband keeps himself entertained with the tv or dvd movies. MyLot is my form of relaxation, a way to communicate with new friends. Here i can interact with people of different races, cultures and opinions.
The activities i have given up? Well, i don't bring my work home everyday anymore because i have already bought a laptop and i do the office work in the office. You may not see me here during month end though because that's when i get to finish up all those paperwork that need to be submitted the first working day of the succeeding month.
I still get to watch my favorite tv shows the same time i do myLot that's why i could only respond to a few topics. Trying to catch up with the dialogues on the tv show and trying even harder to write a sensible and coherent post is sometimes next to impossible but, lol, this is what i call multi-tasking! I also do that on Saturdays, doing the laundry and while the tub spins i have my fingers on the keyboard typing my thoughts away! Hahaha!

I don't really have a lot of time. I have kids and a needy husband...lol. This is a little break for me I guess. I like the fact that there are so many different types of people on here. It's not often that I can converse with people from different parts of the world. I love it.

I will usually always have a tab open with mylot but I am not always there. I just like to have it open that way when I am done doing what I have to I will jump back on real quick to see the new posts. Throughout the day I usually spend about three or fours hours back and forth on here daily. I do most of my posting in the evening once the kids are in bed. I just feel i can concentrate a lot more and put a bit more time into it.

Posting to discussions on mylot is a great way to practice English.
It is apparent that MANY people on mylot are not native English speakers, and I have all the respect in the world for them. I sometimes feel at a disadvantage since English is the only language I speak fluently. I would like to learn a different language.

Thank you for the response .
yeah~ Practice English in Mylot is great,so that I had suggest my friend to join
us ... For the language, don't worry about it, Nowadays,English is the most
popular one and it's easy to learn the languages such as French and German for
pepple whom is native English speaker in my opinion.To tell the truth, my English
is sososo poor,Chinese is the only language I speak fluently~ Then learn
another one is useful and interesting ..From learn it,we come to understand the
culture,just like the feeling travel around the world . en~ if you want to learn
a foreigh language,I think Chinese is a good choice,you may find it looks like a
hieroglyph,I think that's the biggest different between CN and EN..
haha ? isn't interesting the ? just like a man who is opening his mouth and
seems so ...(I can't find a word to describe it)
PS.My English is poor ... THX

I only get about 1-2 hours and I don't think I do as much I can, but I'm still learning the ropes. Hopefully I get to the point the where I can come up with a discussion and reply quicker and on time. I tend to get distracted and that refrains me from reaching my minimum pay.

I haven't give up any activities just to mylot really...Because mylot isn't like a priority one on my list or something. It's just something i'll turn to when i really have the free time or just want to get my mind off things...But sometimes i find myself going into mylot amidst my assignments sometimes, haha and i couldn't help it..lol..
so i guess this lot is great for me, just to enjoy, have fun participating in discussions...=]

I do not have much time on My Lot but I am trying to find more time to spend on it. I haven't been on it much because I wasn't making much money and decided it was a waste of time being on it so much. But, after reading on some post today how I might be able to make more money I decided I will try to spend more time or it and see if I can make more money. Today, I have been on it alot longer than normal. Probably in the past no more than 10 minutes but so far today I have been on it for at least 30 minutes. So, I am going to see if I am making more money in a few days and find out if it is worst spending this much time on this site.

I spend a few house in here everyday. I have other sites I am doing so I divide my time up between them. I like it here the best though, and that is why I keep coming back in here day after day. Even if I don't make much from day to day, I will still come in here as this a good place to make friends, and get paid for it as well. I also like the fact we can give our own opinions on different topics. I really should do my laundry too, but it is just my laundry, so I am not in any hurry to do it, and besides, I don't get paid for doing it lol.
