I think I have developed a habit!

Yesterday was the first time I really had no time to do much here as I was busy in the real world. I came here in the early morning and normally pop in and out during the day but I was too busy and then at night I was just too tired. On the plus side I had lots of notifications this morning so plenty to occupy me.
For some reason it preyed on my mind so I can only conclude that I have developed a habit which I feel I have to carry out several times every day. Is this the definition of an addiction?
Do you feel you must come here each day or do you just visit as and when you feel like it?

@LadyDuck Does that mean you won't be here much tomorrow?

@sprite1950 I feel very tired today, I have not done a lot, tomorrow I have to go out very early to go to Italy. This makes me stressed.

@sprite1950 myLot is far more interesting as far as I am concerned. I am neglecting postloop. I have just got back now after a lapse of two months. I have an invite to write for superiorthan where I get more than a dollar for an article but I am just lazy.

@allknowing I left postloop some time ago and now when I post I don't get credited. Beverly said it's nothing to do with SuperiorThan but Postloop, probably because I've been inactive for a while. I can't be bothered with it now.

I use to be very active, on this site. Little by little, I'm weaning myself off being online.

Why is that? Are you trying to be more active in the real world?

@sprite1950 Yes, being online is a waste of time, when it's in excess.

@kobesbuddy It is. I've been quite busy in the real world for the past few days. My granddaughter is back to school today so I should get some peace and quiet!

I can totally relate. But since my work is home-based, I can juggle from my business to mylot.

That was my habit too before. In fact, I also challenged myself to post my own discussion here in Mylot for 30 days and I did it. But when I started my blog, I devoted much time in there. My articles in my blog are quite long compared to my discussions here in Mylot. I am happy that once in a while I still find time to visit Mylot and do some interactions.

I like to get on here early in the morning when everything is quiet and then if I'm not too busy I will pop in and out during the day.

@id_peace If I leave it too long I have too many notifications to deal with so I prefer to keep on top of them.

I pop in throughout the days so that I can reply to as much threads as possible.

I definitely had a feeling of missing the site. it was almost guilt like I would get if I didn't turn up for work with a job in the real world!

@sprite1950 People do start to look for your posts and if you're missing for too long someone will start asking if anyone knows what's going on. 
I notice if some of my favourite writers are missing for too long.

Snowdrop66, for quite some time I would come here as much as I could and worked very hard to make money. Noiw, I come when I can.

What having to come in here and post back on all the notifications? I would never call that an addiction. Just something that is always worth while doing.

Yes, I guess it somewhere between a hait and an addiction. I generally do come here first thing in the morning and last thing at night as well.

I come and go when I can. Sometimes I'm on here several times a day and sometimes I am away for a week or more.

I don't feel like I have to yet. But I have pretty much been here every day since I became active. I am sure for me it will be something that from time to time I will be more or less active depending on what's going on. In the summer, for example, there will be lots more to do, and so the time I spend here may wane a bit.

I think that's the same for most people. If the weather is good we want to get out and do other things. I come here early in the morning and I'm on and off during the day but the daytime activity will probably stop once the sun comes out.

Although I haven't been here long, I do feel as though I have addiction with the site. But how can you not with all the wonderful people here. I don't think you need an intervention yet!!
