Yesterday and Today I not getting more time for doing work in mylot so I make a plan I work in mylot while eating. I take a small piece of chapati chew it and type one response but feel ohhh God Ghee is touching in keyboard.
Second time do the same suddenly my danger and sweet hubby is came and told me ohhh you have no sense why you are doing work while eating. All meals are touch in keyboard and keyboard will dirty dont say me to clean this. Go in kitchen and eat in proper manner. I realize really this is not good only few minutes should spend for eating. I close the mylot and eat the meals properly.

hello,
i am very amazed to see this discussion on mylot. i never thought that there are other people in this world who are like me in the fact that they also eat while doing computer. actually i have my dinner on my computer table while being on the internet or sometimes i watch a movie while eating. i like to eat while watching a movie on my pc. this is my habit and i cant change that. and i am happy to hear that there are also many people that do the same. we are all the same.

Ohhh but now I change my habit because I understand we are doing all work for earning money only for meals and we should spend few minutes for eating meals. I observed most of the person watching TV while eating but few persons work on Computer while eating. In my home most FIL and my dever both are eating meals while watching TV.

sureka, i never tried this kind of activity, as well as not interested to do it. As we know doing online activities while eating is not good. We don't have the ability to enjoy the food as well as don't concentrate in online activities, we are spoiling both the things. Good to know your hubby guide you in a good way and you take your food properly after that

i agree with vidhyaprakash. man can do only one activity at a time. drive the car or talk on cell phone. similarly eat or do mylotting.

Good to know that you are eating and doing mylot at the same time as well as good in multitasking. May be women's are good in multitasking. But i am not interested in taking snacks while doing online activities and dirtying my system with the food crumbs. Always i keep my system in a clean and clear manner without any dust and dirt

Surekha, i seldom want to eat in front of computer. I ever tried a few times eating while typing and feel not comfort. i feel my stomach not comfort eating that way. Nowadays, i prefer to eat first before start go online. Before, i ever happened that my keyboard are full with oily liquid due to my eating while typing on keyboard. It is quite hard to wipe those oily away. So now, i prefer not to eat while typing anymore.

Ohhh yes not feel comfort while eating use Computer because no proper typing or not proper eating so I think we should leave this habit and enjoy eating and then open computer and enjoy in mylot.

If they can have it their ways, I think that is exactly what my teenage sons would do. But we insist to have at least dinner together on the dining table, so they know when it is time to get off their laptops and eat meals on the table. They get away with eating meals on the computer once in a while when they are alone and have to fix their own meals.

You could have used spoon to eat by. And your keyboard would not get dirted. Me too like eating while doing on computer. I would have a spoon full of food, throw it into my mouth and chew them gently. This would go on working beyond my attention.

I've done that several times before-eating full meal in front of my pc. Your husband is right,it is not a good idea to do that.Aside from making your keyboard dirty,you will not also enjoy your meal.

I do not like my computer anywhere near food or drink, so I do not work online while I am having my meals. Concentrate on enjoying your food, then concentrate on enjoying your time online. It is much better that way.

In the office at noon I usually have the lunch from my lunchbox when I am surfing the net online. As it will not be so troublesome and I can do two different things at the same time. But when I am at home, usually I will not eat in front of the computer. Occasionally I will eat some snacks when I use the computer and that's all.

Quite often I do my lot whilst eating a meal.Either I will take my food to my computer and eat it or if I eat at the table in the kitchen I will post using my smartphone. I don't eat when I am doing my university work as I want to put all my concentration on it and I wouldn't want to get food on any of my papers.People eating as they work on the computer is getting more common,a lot of office workers are to busy to take a break to eat lunch so have to keep working whilst they eat.Which isn't very good at least my lot is a relaxing thing to do whilst you eat.

Sometimes I do and no hassles with me because I use spoon and fork while eating.
So, I am not messing with my keyboard.

I used to have a glass of milk and something like snacks while doing mylot activities.But when it comes to proper meal I would consume them in the dining table as I think its not proper to have my meals in front of my computers. Sometimes we don't expect something will spill into our computer parts and its really hard to clean them up.
So,when it comes to mylot just have something to make my mind concentrate over mylot and that is just enough..
Happy mylotting!

yes i agree, eating while working is not appreciable ,but not all can do that, few people have this capability , they do two things at a time. For example playing online games while eating, or reading paper while eating, and many more, some are used to it. cant help
everyone is gifted .

I always eat my snack in front of the computer but i only read some topics or discussion while eating without touching the keyboard or anything in my working place so that i can spill anything.

Ohhh without touching keyboard if you are reading thats good but we should try to spend few minutes only for eating and full concentrate on eating.

Drink coffee means no problem because our hand is not dirty while drinking but while eating hand is oily so keyboard keys may be dirty.

Hiya sure,
Sometimes I have done but have gone back to the kitchen again to keep warm all depends really. Now I don´t eat on the computer at all its something I have got out of the habit of doing although I have ever only eaten a little on there say things like biscuits and they are always on a deep plate say like a soup plate so the bits did´nt end up everywhere.
However I never made a mess of the keyboard I don´t like anyone of these messing it all up either.xxx

When I was still actively working online 2 years ago, I rarely get up from my chair. I had a lot of things to do with my work that I just eat my food while working. I think I lost some weight as well coz if I have lots of things to do, I do not feel hungry. I would just be drinking coffee or water.

surekha:
No No. eat for 10 mins. then do work. do not combine these two. you can eat and watch TV but you cannot eat and do mylotting. you will not give correct response to us. your husband is right.

Yes uncle I agree with you eating while watching TV is no problem but eating and doing work in mylot is not good. Yes my sweet husband is always right and his main right decision is they choose me for marriage hehehe....just joking.

The same thing has happened to me once. Since then I would only watch the show or movie and pack up the keyboard temporarily while I'm eating. However, when I'm dealing with my job things or studying, eating food is forbidden, which could distract my attention absolutely. Sometimes even while watching the thrilling movies that make me nervous, I have to stop eating immediately. So eating meals is really not good for both reasons.

Yes friend you are right eating meals while watching TV or working on Computer is not good because we all are doing work only for meals and shelters and if we cant spend some time for eating meals then this is not good. Now I learn a lesson and I never do this mistake again. Thanks to share your view.

You should focus on what you are eating. they say that we must chew our food well, for proper digestion. I think, we can practice to do two things at one point in time. Dont you worry, I'm for one doing this also, but I'm starting to eat my snacks while doing myLot. Good luck. Thanks
