Do you stay long hours online?

United States
January 2, 2010 1:45pm CST
Would you consider yourself online addictive, or maybe you just stay online longer hours than anybody else. I won't consider myself online addictive, but I just enjoy the fun to be able to earn some money online. I also have a full time job and a part time job. I love to hangout with my friends too. But I also need to consider my future spendings, and my family too. So, I rather stay online earning money than go out spending money. Some people might say that is unhealthy, but I have my own reason. Do you also love to stay online long hours?

I spend many hours online. Addictive, perhaps that may describe me to a point. However, I prefer the term obsessively productive. Most of my time is spent trying to find new ways to earn some extra income online. And also working on school. I find that while the money might not seem like much on a day to day basis, its quite a fair bit over time. So its time well spent as far as I'm concerned.

I spent long hours online, because I want to make some extra money, and I found it pretty fun to do so. I would continue to do so on a daily basis. In hope to earn extra money in the upcoming future. Thanks for everyone's help and advise here.

megamatt, Obsessively Productive is a great term for it! I enjoy the time I spend on here, and your right, while it might not amount to much on a day to day basis, or week to basis, even month to month basis, it does add up eventually and is time well spent when you can save for wants and needs! I feel like mylot is a big coupon in a way! As we can make as much as we put in, and can spend it as we wish!... Money we earn, but have fun doing, so it's not like work!

I also have a full time job although it does have a decent level of flexibility as it allows me to drop or trade my shifts whenever I want (as long as someone is willing to take it, 60-70% of the time, they will). As for how much time I devote to being on the internet, well that depends on what I plan on doing while I'm online. See now I have a schedule set up where I will do most of my online stuff on my days off which includes 10 mylot activities, 10 helium ratings, 10 slice the pie ratings/reviews, all that can be done under an hour's time frame, maybe hour and a half. Then I write 1 textbroker article, 1 AC article, and 1 Demand Studios article and I tend to spread this work out and take lots of breaks in between.

I wouldn't call myself an online addict. Do I like to be online a lot? Do I go online more than I should? Yes, I probably do. But, at the same time, it doesn't control my life. I won't go into withdrawal if I am not online. I will keep going to my morning classes, and I am not going to neglect my other responsibilities.

I consider myself online addicted.. coz the first thing I do when I wake is go to the comp and go online and then after work in the afternoon when I get home.. go online again.. Quite sad, no internet connection in the office. But if there were... i would still be online. Then again, what's the use of having internet connection in the office when you can't use it because I have to prioritize the work first.

Yes, I am probably addictive. During most days I don't have a lot of time to be on but I am usually on for at least a couple of hours in the morning, of course I get up and do stuff but it is nearly a solid 2 hours. Yesterday on New Years Day I did not have to go out anywhere, and my husband went to his friends house for a football game and I spent almost all day on line it was wonderful.

I can't say that I spend lots of time online, I spend lots of time at my PC. I surf the net and when I get tired of it, play some PC games, then again chat with friends or just hang around the net. My activities at PC are mixed, you know.

I don't know how you could have a full time and part time job as well as earn online. I'd like to do that, but I think I'd get way too upset at never being home. I'm a homebody. So for now I am just a full time employee, and then I mylot at night and on the weekends. I do stay online long hours, I used to more often when I didn't have a job, but now I just try to get online during the weekends and nights to earn a little extra. My husband has a job, and we are not yet fully financially independent, but we're doing smooth with our own earnings now and gradually getting into bill paying.

Ha, I'm at work right now. And I have been since 9. I've pretty much been on myLot all day! Not consistently, as I've been taking breaks and doing work occasionally (lol), but I've posted about 100 times today so far. And I still have 3 hours at work here! . If I'm at home, I usually won't post quite as much. I don't know what's different about being at home, but I'm usually not as motivated if I'm at home. So I typically come on when I'm at work, I guess!

I spend about 4 hours online. Not that much time in front of the PC though I'd like to add up some more hours. I'd like to double my earnings from last year and that means doubling the effort.
