Got up at 8:30. Family going to grandma's to pick plums, water things, etc. Without me. Plenty of time to get up and stretch, eat breakfast and go for a walk before it gets hot. Next thing I know it's after 10, so I go down and stretch and eat, knowing that the walk will have to wait until this evening. Now it's 1:21 and I need to get off my duff and go get some lunch. Maybe I'll even get the laundry started, do the grocery shopping and actually GET THAT WALK. Or maybe I'll still be sitting here at 9 PM wondering why I'm so dang hungry, my back hurts and it just doesn't seem like anything has gotten done.
Does myLotting mess with your good intentions? Or are you actually disciplined?

Yes, mylot do mess with my good intentions, seem like there are endless questions I want to answer and money not cause of it, more like it fun. I keep repeating that it will be enough, but it never will. I will keep on typing and typing but not at the expense of my daily work. I cannot stand hungry and thirsty, so from time to times I will get up and do some chores. I have a little discipline but always procrastinate. Not a good combination.

Sounds a lot like me. Actually, if the kids didn't want the computer so often, I'd be in trouble!

Actually, I have some forced discipline, called a job. It has had me all week, and the days I was supposed to be off as well. I am so lonely for MyLot. I miss it so much.

MyLot is a very,very good procrastinating website. So if I'm trying to do homework or something, and I'm sitting in front of my laptop, it most likely will mess with my good intentions. Also, there is an incentive to log on, money, so it's just another thing I have to say, "No, I can't log on now, I have to get this done." So yes, myLot does sometimes mess with my good intentions. But I still love it anyway!

Now is milk before sleep time but as you can see, I'm typing here Wondering why my back feel hurt and my butt seems flatten,,lol,,

some times it does. but i make to the point that i do my stuff before going to mylot. It can be very disgusting if am disturb in the middle of mylotting. my mom was active here once but after one discussion, she stopped and her account was gone..with the wind. i do other things first before mylot. then sleep...

You are right, it messes with all of my good intentions. I plan on doing stuff, even freelancing, and instead, here I am. I am so tired right now I should just go to bed. Here I am on MyLot with all the other Mylotaholics.

i guess i can't really blame mylot its my own fault but in the case of your discussion i guess i will. yes sometimes mylot messes up my judgement when i should be taking out my trash or go out walking or doing something else maybe even fun i always say i rather make money. i'm saving my mylot money for a guitar i'm buying all the stuff for it surely but slowly from the money i make babysitting rarely.
