What's your myLot discussion answering strategy?

One problem I found was that my inbox was being flooded with emails from myLot, so I turned most of them off, so I would have room for other emails as well. LOL Like you Sheri, I have not been on myLot much in the past couple of months due to a variety of reasons, so can only do so much. But today I have decided that I will devote as many hours to myLot as I can, responding to discussions from my friends. In some cases they will be old discussions and in others, newer ones. Generally I will respond to one discussion for each friend but I changed my routine a little bit and now am doing just a few friends each time, trying to get through at least 6 discussions for each of them. However I was talking to a friend, who is a member of another forum actually, and she told me how she manages her responses. When she received notification of a new discussion, she saves it. Then when she has time, she types her response up into notepad (word would also do), so when she can get online it is a simple matter of doing a cut and paste. She said that it means when she is actually online she can get 20 or 30 responses in this way, whereas when she was typing them out while she was online, she could only do less than half that many done. It might be something worth considering anyway Sheri, because I do know that you are fairly busy with everything that is happening in your life.

I keep selecting DISCUSSIONS MY FRIENDS STARTED and DISCUSSIONS WITH NO RESPONSE and whenever I find time, I keep responding to the topics in these two sections.

Hi I go through my emails one by one, answering or deleting if I cannot answer. Some I save so I can think about them for longer. Then I go through the replies to my discussions. After that I check my best responses incase I need to thank anyone and discussions I have replied to incase someone has left a message for me, I do not go through all of these tho. If I have any time left I scoult around to see if theres anything else I want to reply to.

That's pretty much how I do it too. I really enjoy giving my two cents worth to my friends. Better late than never...I suppose. I used to be on myLot every day for hours at a time, but as tax season presented itself and desert season, my computer time is nearly sacred anymore. So once I answer my friends questions and I find extra time I then venture out to answer new people's questions.

that's an awesome strategy. i think i'll borrow that off you (if you don't mind). i wasn't sure where to start, so i've just been going through the "discussions with no response" those can take a few hours to go through

I first respond to the discussion started by friends. But I slect the ones to be responded. Cant respond to all rubbish. Then I move on to tadays top ones. And then I post some new ones.

hi,its good practice,my friend.i never miss your responses to my discussions.I usually respond whenever i opened my computer where i got mails directly,as i have "notify on" facility with all my friends.
