are you a working professional? or are you working part-time? are you in college? or are you retired and sit at home full time..?? i am wondering! how can people take out 2-8 hours out of their day and work on mylot? do people with a full time job also post on mylot? or is it just the part-time workers and college people who are sitting at home!!

i am an at home mother, this does not mean that i have all the time in the world to post or even be on the interent, my internet time is the three hours a day that my daughter is at school and the few hours at night before i head to bed, this doesnt mean that i am online the whole time because that is alos the only time that i have to run my errands or do the laundry or do the grocery shopping. i only get online when i have finshed my dailyt chores. but i am on everynight at this same time and i devote at least one hour to mylot.

student - well im a college student and i hope that i can graduate.
well hello pix trix!. i am a college student and i have a lot of spare time which enables me to log in here in mylot almost all the time.. see i am an irregular student and i have a lot of spare time because my schedule only involves 1 subject per day and i have 5 school days.. so the rest of the day i spend here in mylot.. but still i have to wait for my turn to use the computer so i cannot really log in here all the time.

I work full time for the government 10 hours a day from monday to friday. As you see I dont really have enough time to do all posting. I usually login to mylot before bedtime, or breakfast. But in holiday, I tend to spend hours lol. Cheers!

I found that when I was first invited here I spent way too much time and for a couple of days didn't get much esle done. But I started to create questions and think about responses to my emails while I am working on other projects. Now that I have passed 500 posts and can copy and paste, I make a list of questions and periodically through out the day or even I will paste them into a myLot discussion. It saves me plenty of time and seems much more efficient for me now.

yes, i feel its mch easier for people having more than 500 posts, if you can cop and paste stuff, you can reply to more posts in a lesser amount of time! maybe that could wash away that guilt of mine.. lol. thanks for your response!

I am in a part-time work, and I have lot of free time after 4 hours work a day. But I can't spend 2-8 hours a day on mylot because I have many other things to do. I think who have spend 2- 8 hours on mylot maybe the college people or people whose work is very simple and they can afford so many hours on mylot.

I use mylot whenever i have time for the internet.Staying up at night is also a good idea.Besides it acts as a good relaxation.

I am a full time stay at home mom. I find the time between watching my son. He likes to explore his little area...so I don't bother him. :) I also log on to the internet at night when I have the time. :) I am just trying to make some extra money on here.

I am a working professional I am working for a Stud Farm in the capacity of a Stud Vet. I do need to attend the cases at any time out of 24 hours. I normally find the gaps I get in between the work to participate in the Mylot! I never use a computer of my Office, I always use my personal computer for this purpose. I normally post 5 to 10 discussions perday on an average and I try to be as descriptive as possible and try to provide as much information I can do to satisfy the asker! I don't think a full timer or part timer can afford to spend 2 to 8 hours of their time to participate in the Mylot discussion. Yes! College students can spend some time on the site. Again the professional college people really can't waste much of their time as they are already overburdened with a lot of work in the form of assignments, seminars etc, apart from their regular clases and examinations! Participation by the college students who are not i he professional College, I think is a very good thing as they are using their time in a constructive way by not only making few Dollars but also by gaining some good knowledge on the site which otherwise many of them would have wasted it on some meaning less purpose as normally done my most of the college students !

Well, taking care of my babies I think it is enough! That'sa double full time job. I used to spend a lot of time, but I had to reduce it because it was really deteriorationg the quality time I was spending with my family.

you always have to strike a balance between work and family, if that balance goes hay-wire, one of the two will surely suffer! thanks for your response

I'm a working professional, putting in at least 45 hours a week. I'm also a single parent of 2 daughters, and one is very involved in competitive cheerleading, which is very time consuming. When do I do my lot? Whenever I get a spare minute I log on and reply to posts when I can. I've only been here a little over a week, but I find it very liberating!! I love my lot!!

first of all, welcome to mylot, i hope you also get addicted to this wonderful site, just like each of its member is. keep your answers descriptive, never answer in one or two lines.. it attracts a negative rating! (dont worry, i ve voted you a +) :) thanks for your response. keep posting

Well, in my case there's another option. I'm of working age, but I'm working on becoming less shy. I've never had a job that wasn't doing something for money online, yet. This is the first year of my life that I've even been able to think about becoming less shy, and it's going to be a long, hard road. I still live at home with my family. I do work online to help me have extra cash to do a few things outside of the house that I really want to do. Other than that, I have no source of income. I really am painfully shy (except for online) to the point that I haven't even paid for something in a store in a long time. Anyway, that's how I have time to work on Mylot. Sad but true. But I really love it here! It's so much fun to get paid for writing ^_^

I work full time. When I get home from work I sit and relax at my computer. I get home at 2:00 and don't evan start supper until about 4:00. Then back on early evening. I don't have any small kids so don't have to worry about that.
