Funny but it seems that since I joined mylot, I often forget to take my break on time. I mean, the usual one hour break which I had always been itching to have before to get off from my seat here in the office is now reduced to just 30 minutes or so...lol mylot really is addicting huh..especially when you start enjoying the discussions. I used to label my workdays here in the office as BORING but when I got mylot account and started joining and posting discussions, my days seemed to be busy..lol now tell me about your mylot experience with regards to your usual schedule? does it affect much?

No mylot does not affect my timetable that much at all, I come on mylot normally very early in the morning, and then I have other things to do on the computer which take me around 1 hour to do after that I come back again, and then I go for my breakfast, and clean up or whatever else I have to do then I will come back on for another hour or so and then go off again for my lunch, and when that is over I come back again and finish for my dinner so it does not affect me but when I do have something urgent to do then I cannot do as much on my computer.

At first,it started to get into me,I got interested in the discussions and It affected my social life too but i started to tow down a little bit because it may affected my health. I think you have the mylotitis as what we call those addicted with mylot.It was quoted by one of my friends namely steve and gabs and a whole bunch of other people around here.

I went through serious addiction to myLot problems at first, and then about a month ago, I cut down quite a bit. I now find that I will probably cut back more. I am not so compelled to be on, and I will need to look for some more online money opportunities. I feel like it has added interest to my spare time, a real plus in the winter. Sometimes, however, it has stolen my time from other things. LOL. I will probably always love being on here.

Hey hi, well i am not addicted to mylot and i hardly spend one or two hours per day,as here you can make money just by answering discussions on mylot, and starting new discussions too, infact you can boost your earning by uploading photos, so keep posting quality responses, keep searching good discussions about which you know something and can answer, strictly avoid one liner posts,best luck and happy earning!!!...cheers!!

Oh I get it-- You're on mylot when you're supposed to be working? So it makes the day less boring and go faster?
LOL-- Me too... I'm at work right now- I can't help it- I sit down turn on the computer and go to mylot. Sure I turn it off (mylot during the day) but at least 3 to 4 times while I'm here at work you'll find me here- I used to go to lunch with my co-workers.. Now alot of times I'm right here eating soup at my desk and answering discussions! So mylot is very addicting and it has changed how I spend my day tons! I'm not complaining though! I love Mylot!

Since I have joined mylot my days are a lot different than before. Right now I am off of work due to surgery on my knee. I go back to work on 6 March and boy am I going to have with drawal simptons. I come here everyday and spend a lot of time here. I love the discussions and responses. It has broadened my way of looking at things. There are a lot of good people here and I have made friends. It is nice also to know that you can get paid here. I am not so overly concerned about that. I like the discussions better. Also since I have been here my typing speed has increased. So I will have to say that mylot has affected my timetable at home. Things don't get done like they used to in my house.

yep it does seem to affect my timetable
i get home from work, i usually dont answer here from work like im doing now LOL. Since i have been letting the discussions pile up for a couple days at a time before i answer i have alot to go through and there seem to be alot of good ones lately. Last night when i got home i started to go through them and before i knew it i had spent 2 hours looking for and answering discussions. But it seems now mylot is slow in updating, i use to be able to check it by 8am to see what i got for the day before and now it seems to be updating in the afternoon, so spend more time on here every day LOL

It doe s not effect at all coz, I use the mylot posting as fun i really enjoy posting here. Devot ur time efficently and try to keep ur schedule running smoothly else u will feed up soon and mylot will become boring rather than a place to enjoy and a place where we can learn or share

It's true that mylot does start to take over how the day is run. I find once I get on and involved in the discussions tht the time just flies. If I go on in the evening before I know it it is miles past the time I would usually go to bed. I'm turning into a complete addict and am amazed at how much I'm learning from reading the other posts. I love it here.

Not me. I have no real schedual anymore. If I wa syou though I'm sure my hour break would be cut down to 15 minutes (gotta have time for the bathroom). I know this site can be very addictive and I think it's great. I usally have it running in a window all the time and come here when I feel like it.

Quite addictive isn't it? in fact i miss a lot of chores at home too because of it. But at least we learn and earn something while surfing the net.

I can see about forgetting breaks with mylot for sure. There is something very addictive about mylot that I haven't found with other such services. I rarely write on regular message boards, for example, but I find myself checking in here regulary and making frequent postings. Maybe it is the way in which the threads are presented, with their sleek Web 2.0 look and pastel colors.

ok so yeah im addicted to mylot also, and i have stayed up way to late on many occasions, but it seems rational that many people feel this way. first off the money is a draw. second, we get to adress interesting topics, such as politics and world events. it really is one of the best sites i have seen

Well I am still new to MyLot so I cannot say that it is really affecting my schedule that much....yet. I can however say that I love posting at message boards and at communities which is what made this site appeal to me in the first place. Considering how much of my time forums suck up I would expect MyLot to do that to me too. Not that I'll mind of course! ^_^
