Do you tend to hibernate after the end of every month here in mylot?

Usually when it's the last week of the month we are so busy trying to reach the minimum payout, or earning as much as we can so we could cash out a bigger amount. But at the first week of the month, I notice that there is a lot less activity here in mylot compared to the past week. Well, even I myself, I've noticed that I am less active here at the beginning of every month. Maybe it's because I'm tired of all the activity from the previous week, and just taking a break or something, to energize myself once more.
So, do you tend to hibernate after the end of the month? What are your reasons?

I like to be active at the start of the month, so that by the time I am paid for the previous month I'm half way to reaching payout again.
This is the first month since I joined that I have only reached payout in the final week, because I have had less time for posting throughout the month.

Oh, so you're the opposite? I guess that makes sense. Instead of what we're doing, scrambling to the end of the finish line when the time is almost up, I think it just makes more sense starting early so it won't be too difficult to reach the minimum before the month ends. hehe 
I bet you're the kind of student who has never crammed on an exam, right?

I think my activity is pretty much the same all throughout the month. I've never tried to hurry and make payout at the end of the month. Probably because I just never think of it. So I haven't noticed the slower pace, but now that you mention it I'll probably start to see that too. I understand if people feel like they need a break, although I do enjoy every discussion I get in my notifications from my friends.

I don't respond to as many discussions as I used to, nor do I post as often as I used to. Mainly I just go through the discussions from the people on my friend list. Since I never try to rush to meet payout it is all kind of an even mylotting experience for me. I've been on here for two years, so I've racked up a lot of posts, but compared to other mylotters who have been here that long, my post count isn't that big at all.

It is fun. But sometimes I don't have anything to say anymore, or I have an eye strain, so I give myself a much needed break. So that when I come back, I feel refreshed and recharged again, and I could chat the whole night away. hehe.
Doesn't this happen to you? You know, running out of things to say, or eye strain? hehehe. I think you're a very active member of mylot.

In my case... i am more active during the first few days of the months... since i want to reach payout early... so that i can just relax during the last few remaining days... aside for that... i have no control of when i will be busy with my job... so i need to think ahead here in mylot... i really do not like cramming...

I have been trying to achieve payout more seriously this month. I have been a member for 5 months. Some months inactive. These past few days, I have slogging to meet the last few cents towards payout. Tonight will be the night for me to check whether I manage to accummulate another 8 cents to reach minimum. Then I'm going to take a break until the new month arrives, which is just 2 days away sadly. I need a break to do other stuff, like writing reviews and articles.

I lessen my activity during the first week of each month..Just trying to catch some decent sleep at night and wake up early in the morning refreshed...Or I sleep early, when my husband is here for the night. So, he won't think that Im not paying attention to his needs anymore ...Usually, Im busier when it's on the third and fourth week, so he knows that he can't disturb me when Im online
