Hello mylotters!
I sometimes take a break from myLot and PTC business when someone would use the computer to do some important tasks. We only have a single connection so it's hard for me to always log on to my account.
I am just curious if you take a break away from myLot? Not necessarily from myLot only but from other computer works too. We know that we earn here by spending quality time here in front of our computers but do you really ALWAYS log on to your account? Let us say for a week, when do you take your break? Is it on Sunday? Monday? Tuesday? Wednesday? Thursday? Friday or Saturday? What time do you usually use the computer? What time do you log out?
Hope to see some interesting and honest responses from you guys. Take Care!Ü

Hi Koal!
Yes, I take a break from computer, internet or say mylot on Sundays and it sometimes so happens that I do not get time to log in even on Saturdays. There is no other fixed day, my presence at mylot depends upon the availability of time with me. If I do not have time and I need to dispose of other important tasks, I do not log in to mylot. However, when I am here, I do not want to be disturbed and I fully concentrate on discussions.

Hi dear!
Oh! It is really bad that your sister does not allow you to work on your computer and you have limited time to work on your computer. Hopefully, you utilise your given time to the best extent possible. You may consider about buying a new computer.

Concentrating on discussions is a very deep thought. I think you really enjoy your stay here dpk. Nice work. As for me, sometimes i do not have a chance to log on to the computer every time my eldest sister is home. She has work from Mondays-Thursday so her only chance to visit her online stuff is on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. So i have to have a good timing. Like really waking up early in the morning about 8am. But i can not do this thing, so i always end up notlogging in to my account.

That's impossible for me to do dpk. I don't have enough money to buy a new computer. We actually have 3 desktops, a laptop and a notebook here so computers are not really a problem. Our main problem is to have an internet connection. As what Ms. Iriene have said *up there*, we should consider buying router so that we won't have any problems in the connection. Thanks for the response dpk.

wow, that's super archie. I bet you are a good at multitasking. Good thing your computer doesn't overheat. If i will mylot or use the computer the whole day, the internet will have a slow response to the network and it will be prone to overheating. So i cannot do it like you do.

I took a very long break(3 years to be exact). Now I am back and recharged. On normal occasion, I do break for a day or two unless I am as addicted like now. I use my computer like everyday so I wouldn't know whether I am using it for mylotting or anything. I have a lot of things that I can do online. I log out when I don't see a need to stay at mylot any longer. PC mini breaks nah...I am a computer addict.jajaja...Good luck in getting more comments. Have a nice day and don't forget to enjoy your experience at mylot

Yeah. Mylot is a nice site with so many people from all around the world. You could learn a lot here and help those people who are in their tight situation. See you around and congratulations to your hundredth post!

Hi Koala,
I do mylot only on leisure time in my office. If I have work then I can’t concentrate on mylot. Some days I don’t have work but I am lazy to do work in mylot especially on the topics started by me. I am taking a whole day break on Sunday which is a holiday for me. I have net connection at home but I don’t get time or I am busy with my kids. I don’t think I can do mylot without taking a break.

Hello sree.
I agree. Before when i was a newbie, i log on here everyday right after my breakfast and before i go to sleep. But after achieving milestones, i lose the vibe i used to have.
I also know a lot of members who does mylot during office hours. I just hope your bosses won't see you. Thanks for the response sree, Take care!

Yes, you are lucky. When i was having my training as a medical transcriptionist, there, my boss saw me and told us not to use the internet for other purposes. They have this tracking software to see what you have been doing in the internet. I can not help but to visit other sites since my co-trainees have been visiting other sites too. But after i was told not to use the internet for other issues, i totally followed them but still, i didn't made it to their standards.

if we are talking about simple break from posting here, with no consideration of power failure, going to bed at night. things we should take rest. well, i mylot everyday, as long as there is office where i can use the desktop. i mylot every night, as long as there is connection at home, where i can only use my mobile phone. if only i can do it 24/7 i will. but i have to rest, we all need to rest. i only take a break from mylot, when there is very important work do to in the computer, say when i need to do the reports and when there are other people who wants to mylot. because i have other officemates who are also mylotters.

Wow. A mylot community in person huh? Can you name some of your office mates? So i can greet them. I understand what you say about having a break when sleeping or having a power failure. What i mean is, intentionally forgetting that you have to access your account. Have you ever done that? By the way, all of you are lucky that your boss doesn't see you doing these things. Or is he/she one of us?

Hello acie.
Welcome back!Ü As for myself, i can't get mylot out of my system anymore since i could possibly earn at least $4 a day because of those tasks. Yeah it's pretty big right? So i am always using my account. Now i try to have a break away from those tasks and try making my posts higher. And later on, i might log onto another online earning site that i am working at. Hehe.. Thank you for dropping by. Hope to see more of you.

Hi acie bestfriends of ckye,,
Well when was the last time you had LASIX? That treatment is pretty expensive right? When it comes to english and grammar.. I am just like these.. I still use the synonym from MS Word at times since i am being redundant in most of my works.
Actually, i just spend almost a whole afternoon here everyday and that's the most i could do. If you are getting bored with responding here you can check out a alot of earning sites other than this. But i can also say that facebook is really fun! Even though i don't have my account there, I can say that it really is fun.

Actually from time to time there are times that I have had no real choice other than to take a Break from my online stuff. Like when I go on Vacation and time is limited, or recently as I just moved from a Condo to a home we just bought, and then my Computer decided to freeze on me as well. But for me, I usually find time to get on here even if for only a short time each day just to try and keep up and let people know that I am still around.

Having 12 thousand posts means that you already are the veteran here. Nice to have you in one of my discussions. It's a pleasure to attract a old-timer for a newbie like me.
I understand what you are saying because a lot of us have other issues beside mylot, right? So sometimes, we have no option but to take a break away from computers. Good thing is, we can always log on whatever time we want.
Really glad to have you here, take care!:)

I sometimes take a break from mylot if there are other things I need to do during the day. Sometimes I find other programs that I try to make money but it seems that I always come back to mylot because I can actually see everyday what I have earned from the following day. Its not alot of money but it is some. I wish I could find a program that would pay me good money each month.

We all have the same wish as you do mr. marriedman. I am quite idle for the past few months because i can't still find myself a job *it's very hard* Sometimes i believe job hunting is not that hard, the only problem is my sincerity of finding one. I can not think of myself not logging onto my account anymore here since it gives us good earnings *even if its just a few cents*. But do you make it a point to log on to your account everyday Mr.?

Yes I do, that is every Sunday. I only can log in here in Mylot during office work. I steal time from it, so because its Sunday and no work, then no Mylotting. When I am not feeling well too and busy at work, I can't do Mylot of course my regular job is my priority above all.

It's good to hear that grecy and welcome back. Good thing your boss have not caught you doing this during office hours. There are also members here that does the same as you. Like Neildc and janebeth. Whenever i realize that you take time to respond with the discussions in myLot and you are just stealing time from work, i somehow salute you for being loyal and active to the site.

thumbup[/em]Since I turn on my computer everyday, so I don't take a break for Mylot. If I am very busy, then I will at least try to post a few here. I like to be active everyday. I am addicted to Mylot. If one day I will have a travel and I don't bring my laptop, then probably I have to take a break.
I love China
@koalapenguin (2707)

I noticed that you always put the line "I love China" on your responses. I bet you really love it there and i think it's a beautiful country. I have a Chinese blood so i appreciate what you are saying. I understand that traveling can not be done simultaneously with mylotting. So i was planning to buy a cellphone with a wifii technology so i can access with the internet in some ways and i never get to bring a big device such as laptops. What do you think? Would that be effective? I also agree that we all are addicted to the site.

hi, koalayesterday, I take a break, yesterday, even if I do not like..my internet connection got cut down, and the access point signals in my area is not accessible..so, I only do few mylotting. I usually log off every 11 in the evening. My computer is use everyday not only by me but also by my sisters who are really got an addiction with chatting with her friends in her favorites networking sites, which takes most of my time spend in front of the computer. Although I like to spend most of my time here in Mylot, I could not do so. I've got many competitions from my sisters and niece

I can see that you are having a really hard time logging in to your account. 11 pm is a pretty late time to log in. But you also have a chance to interact with our US citizen friends because that's the time their time starts. It's morning there when it's night here. One of our internet is busted too so we kind of struggle with the single connection we have.

hi koalapenguin,
when i first started myLot last month, I could not bring myself away from the computer. I eat myLot, I dream myLot, I live myLot. But this month, I've slagged. I still manage to hit payout, but slagged. Because I have some other important issue to deal with. I still miss myLot. Hopefully when everything is settled, I'll bounce back from my so called 'break' and come back with a BANG!

koalapenguin,
I've hit payout. I always make sure I hit payout before slagging. lol. I have very active recruits and I really appreciate them as they help me in my earning alot! So usually, after I hit payout (usually in the middle of the month), I'll start slagging and concentrate on other more important issues..

I know what you mean sub. I guess we all are addicted to the site. Especially when your earnings are fast increasing. I have also done eating in front of the computer. I bet that's something very important, right? I hope you could reach your payout soon and join the fun here.

Hi koalapenguin,
Nice topic of discussion and good understanding of our commitment
in myLot :)
I normally have to stop myLotting awhile when I need to fetch my son
out to buy lunch and then to school. I will be back myLotting again.
Much later again, I have to stop to cook for dinner, and to fetch my
son back from school. Have dinner, watch my favourite tv programmes
and back to myLotting again till 2am...STOP to sleep & sweet dreams
All the best and happy myLotting!
Hope to hear your view on my latest topic!

Hi Iriene.
Thank you for the compliments again. You never fail to please me as always. Having a son is really a big responsibility, right? Good thing you can balance your lifestyle well with mylot. I salute you for that. 2am is a very late time, how can you manage to stay awake on that time? Then what time do you usually wake up in the morning? I bet you have a very long day with you. After commenting on my discussions, i will try to visit yours, don't worry.

Dear koalapenguin,
Thanks for your prompt comments. Really appreciate it :)
For today, I wake up a bit late (10 am) because my next appointment
for AGM meeting will be at 3.00pm and moreover this whole week is
school holiday for a week, yippee ..hooray..relax for one week!
Oh..oh left 3 more days only, my son is back to school again on next
Tuesday, I will be back on duty to fetch him to school again. This
coming Monday 31/8/09 is Malaysian Independence Day - Public Holiday!
As what dpk said, I hope God will bless you with an extra computer
for you to do myLot. Last time I have to share my PC with my housemate,
my hubby, my sister and my son too. Now my son won a Lenovo netbook, my
hubby got his company laptop..so we fix a 'Router' whereby it is wireless
and all of us can use simultaneously.
All the best and happy myLotting

Thanks for the information Iriene. So Malaysian Independence Day falls every August 31. It's the same date of m,y friend's birthday! Our independence day false every June 12.
As what i have told dpk, I think we are already blessed with a number of computers. Thanks to your prayers. I guess our problem lies on the connection. As what you have said, maybe we will consider ourselves buying a router in this house so it won't be a problem. Thanks for the concerns, happy mylotting. Ü

Why is that you have a problem with your paypal? I am close to payout too.. So i wish us luck then tundeemma, It is also good to here that you take a break for at least about two days. Some people here don't usually have one. It's kind of hard to believe but i think it really does happen to some of us. I think we will all agree to that statement of yours: "mylot is such an addictive website"

You must have been a very good son Letran. I too, accompanied my brother yesterday morning on his job interview. I can see that you are really active here so you don't even get a chance to have a break. Well, good for you that you can enjoy your stay here and still balance your personal life with your computer life.
