You Know You've Spent Too Much Time Online When...?

Well when do you know you've spent too much time online? Today I feel like I have. News can really be stressful. Not only world issues, even local news can be stressful. Heck I don't even watch the news or read the papers anymore and yet I still get stressed by online news articles! I'd like to blame Facebook for it. Saw someone post a news article and bam! It all went downhill from there. I went on to Twitter and did some comments on some news articles. Oh my goodness. Now I think I'll just go to sleep so tomorrow I'll start afresh and the world will be rosy once more...

I ALWAYS spend too much time online. It's a habit I'm trying to break, but I'm not sure how I'm going to do it.

Me too. I like spending time online. I think sometimes too much time since my new job won't start until a week or so.

@owstalaga Well at least when you start that job you'll do something more constructive.

thats the main problem in our modern western world. everything is available 24 hours at day. You actually cannot hide from t but you could spread your time with other things like traveling and friends or some hobbies.

Yeah I should be able to not spend too much time in the coming weeks. But I'll still come by on myLot as much as I can.

@ShayFlax Oh it's easy, all you have to do is check the Help page beside your pic on the top left and read all the links and everything in it.

Me too! But there are times that I can live without it. Haha~ Especially when I am in a bad mood as simply want to disconnect from the online world.

@joygracia Oh wow... haha. That's hard indeed. Maybe set your alarm clock several times to remind you you need to sleep already.

@owstalaga as for me I tend to be addicted to it to the point that I don't have enough sleep.

Hi Owstalaga. Online postings can be overwhelming. I do not let it get to me. And if it is bothering me that much, I cut it off or block..its great to have that option. News is awful but I like to know what is going on in the world. Cant live without the news me.

I have too many social sites and accounts. But I think FB can be the most stressful of them all.

True, I don't need to watch TV anymore with all the online news available even when we don't look for it.

...when my eyes get tired and my head starts to ache. It can be overwhelming at times. And with MyLot, I think I'm spending more time online than I should. It's good to take a break from online activities and look for other activities that you can do offline.
