I cannot help but look at the bank which you know we can see on the top right hand corner of the page. I get tempted to achieve a round figure before the myLot clock strikes twelve and for that I spend more time here. I know this is wrong. I have a whole lot of chores to attend to in my real world. Any clues on how to ignore that bank or are you also sailing in the same boat as me?

I do not try to achieve any amount because I know that I do not have a lot of time for Mylot. I think I am just happy with the money earned so far.

That is a good approach. I too must stop turning my eyes in the direction of the bank and just myLot. I have 2 cents to get to the round figure and in an hour the day will close. It is really not necessary that I should run after those 2cents

Yup that rounding figure bugs me too. Not as much as the earnings. LOL Since I have been using my phone. They don't display earnings there. So, no temptations. I am doing good without that.

The phone view is the way to go, no $ sitting there taunting you...

I don't care for the amount I earn here. I don't set targets here. It's just a habit you need to change.

MyLot can be very addictive and I have always spent my time here refreshing the page to see the money on the bank changing.

I never monitored mine since day 1. What do I do? Keep myself busy by working on my remote jobs and post here on myLot from time to time. What else? Fall in love.

Fall in love is the right thing to do but not with the myLot Bank

I am not concerned about how much I have earned but that temptation to get to that round figure.

I certainly cannot help in this respect but I constantly monitor the bank figure as well.

@allknowing You should have slowed the clock down a little to give you more time.

@Asylum Actually it is so childish to be chasing like this but if it had happened then it would have been worth neglecting my real life priorities

I don't set my goal based on the earnings, so I don't always look at my total earnings to date. I am always working hard to clear my notifications here, so they won't go missing, and I wish I don't neglect anyone who replied me. So, my focus when I am on mylot is the notifications, the earning is always being ignored.

Notifications get top preference even with me but that bank which is sitting on our page cannot be neglected either

This is pretty much the same problem we were both having yesterday.. being addicted to mylot lol. My total hasn't increased much today. Usually by the time I go to sleep and wake up in the morning it has gone up more. I feel if I sit here watching the total it just is at a standstill.

Today when the myLot clock struck 12 I was .003 cents less than the round figure I was waiting for and you can imagine how shamelessly busy I was. I must stop this. (lol)

@allknowing I must stop this too, I do not want to set a daily goal and stay online too long if I cannot reach the amount.

My eyes were always drawn to that figure when it was on the left. However since they moved it to the right I find that I don't bother about it - I have to make a conscious effort to look at it.

I will have to do some calculations about the distance between your right eye and left eye and then justify your claims why you have to make a conscious effort to look in that direction

@jaboUK From what I know of the myLot community most take the trouble to look where results of the action lie

I check the bank regularly. It takes about 15 seconds. I waste more time filing my toenails than I do checking the bank.

Checking the bank is fine but to aim at rounding the figure before the myLot clock strikes `12 is another matter

Sometimes I just refuse to look at it! It flips over about 2pm our time so I might check it after that just to see what I've achieved for the day.
