“How much time do you usually spend on the internet?”

I am so guilty being so addicted to the internet. It is not a secret that I am working as a Home-based ESL Teacher. Basically, I can manage my time to work 8 hours per day. I spend more than 8 hours in using my internet. It is up to me to manage my working schedule on a daily basis. “Do you spend more than 8 hours using the internet?” Image Credit: pixabay.com

No, I spend many hours at my computer because I also work using it, but I never spend more than 4 to 5 hours a day on the Internet.

If I am working on a stable writing site, I will do spend fewer hours in using an internet. I am still working on it and finding a writing site.

@Shavkat It seems harder every day to find a serious writing site.

If you use it for work then it's a bit hard not to use it for long hours unless like you said, you can manage your working schedule so you don't have to. I need the Internet to do my work, but I do take breaks in between.

My work online is flexible. I also see to it there are some breaks in between my classes online. Oh, boy! I am not a robotic man compared to other virtual teachers.

@cahaya1983 I teach the English language only. The online class session takes 25 minutes per student.

@Shavkat I've never tried virtual teaching before. Which subjects do you teach and how long is each session?

It is nice that you can balance the use of the internet. I also wanted to find other ways to use my time in other things.

As my work related to the data in the internet, I spend approximately 6 hours or maybe more. Once in a blue moon the internet has a problem. If this happens, I usually rely on my internet connection.

Well, it is nice to hear that. As for me, I cannot afford to have a poor internet connection. It's a big NO in teaching online. That's the reason why I needed to upgrade the speed of my internet.

When doing online projects it is easy for me to spend most of the day online. Otherwise, there is not much time to spend online.

I do agree with you. I also take time off using my desktop if not teaching. As an alternative, I use my mobile phone while mylotting.

I'm probably online about three hours per day. Between login times, I get other important things done. Then, I'm online for about one more hour.
