Oh no I’ve got mylot burnout, do you get this?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com 4 years ago

Do you get to a stage where you find you are answering lots of discussions about the same topic. They are all written by different people and all phrased differently but the question they are asking is the same as so many others have asked before them.

I keep seeing the same topics come up time and again. Do you ever find that you get tired of answering the same questions over and over again? Maybe I just need a break from mylot as I have been very active for the last 6 months.

Do you ever get mylot burnout?

Oh I have been there too.. I have been here for 5 months now but decreased my mylot activity last December for several reasons and one of that is the answering same topic almost everydayLOL


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Yes well I hit it this month and I have reduced my activity a lot in the last few weeks. Maybe a break will be good for me and I can come back fresh. My partner is thinking of giving it away already and he has only been on for 3 months.

Hello sharra1! I noticed it too. I mean, all the discussions are keep coming back because I think some of the new members doesn't know that someone made the discussion already. I also have the same experienced about it. I made a discussion and then I found out someone made a discussion about it already but how would I know? I am just a new member and I don't know how to know whether someone started about the discussion or not.

I am tired answering the same discussions sometimes but I can't blame them.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

You can do a search of discussions to see of the topic has been done before. Having said that I do not have to answer the topic but sometimes I see someone asking a question and I want to answer it so I do.

But after answering the same or similar questions a few times I get sick of it. I think it is just that I am tired and need a break for a while. Or maybe I am spending too much time here.

I have experienced this many times when I go on responding and answering to my responders I reach a stage where I run out of steam. My ideas have dwindled to dust and I can barely string two words together. So rather than inflict some esoteric nonsense here, I take off and refresh and rejuvenate. When I come back after a few days my ideas tend to accumulate and eager to start all over again.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Well I have been feeling like that for a while and now have decided to just keep an eye on this site and not spend so much time here. So I will check in of a morning and then leave it.

I will also probably take the odd day off but I will do other things and not spend so much time here that nothing else gets done.

Hello sharra,

Well not exactly burnout because some days I don't feel like coming on here at all and so I don't. For instance we had three days of over 40%C and there was no way I was about to sit in front of a computer.

If I have answered a question about a subject, when I see the same subject again I usually don't comment. I only comment on about three or four discussions per day because I don't want to feel it's becoming a chore. Some days I take a peek and don't see anything I want to comment on. It doesn't hurt to take a bit of a break and come back nice and fresh.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I know what you mean. I was very active for the last couple of months but I was starting that feel that I was obligating myself to post and getting frustrated when I couldn't so now I am thinking that I need to ease up a bit.

The heat certainly does not help. It has been hot and muggy here lately and I have not felt like being near a computer. I think I have just pushed myself to hard to find posts to answer. Lash opted out also in the last week. So I will be doing a lot less for a while.

best to just stay away awhile I guess. I goe days without starting topics.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I am not sure I can stay away for very long. I seem to pop in at least once a day even now but I am not staying here for hours any more. Just answering people's responses and keeping an eye on friends discussions.


myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  4 years ago

I know what you mean. I look for topics to respond to and seldom find one. Also there seems to be alot of bickering back and forth. I don't know if you have noticed that, maybe its just me.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Yes I have noticed that there is a lot of bickering between some people. That is often the case when people cannot accept others having a different point of view. There are people who think that you should either agree with them or be quiet but you should never disagree with them.

Yes currently I am. I have only been responding to friends discussions and I don't think that I have started any this year. I'm sure that it will go away soon lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I am still checking friends discussions and responding to the ones I started but I am not spending any where near as much time as I was and I am actually logging out for a change instead of just minimising the window.

I think I got obsessed with it for a while as it has been my only social outlet apart from shopping. It is a real problem being disabled and not being able to go out much or being able to afford to go out much.

7. myLot reputation of 88/100. oraclemv (2492)   4 years ago

LOL, yes! I think this happens to all of us. I took an 8 month break once, after I joined and received a couple payouts. I came back to find money on mylot and I was just a couple dollars away from minimum payout. I told myself that I was just going to get that measly $10 and be on my way, but I got hooked and I've gotten about 3-4 payments since then! lol! So I am about due for a total burnout! But I also just took a little time off when I had the baby so maybe that was all I needed. Plus the weather is so bad here. I really don't have any place to go because I can't take the baby out so I might be stuck here, burnt out or not, I am sticking to it!

Yes, I have noticed the same topic over and over but that makes posting easier. A little more boring but lately there seems to be more topics that peak my interest. I've also added a boatload of new friends so that might help with your topic dilemma.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Yes that is exactly what happened to me. I got that payout and then I got more the next month and so on so I ended up spending too much time here and not getting other stuff done.

I was having a good time for a few months and then I found myself getting frustrated with being on the computer when I had other things I wanted to do. So I have decided to let it go for a few weeks and take a break.

LOL,
it happens even i once got screwed wen someone started the same topic which i hv already started a week ago n he gets many responses...


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Ah yes that is annoying. I have seen that before when someone starts a similar or nearly identical topic and gets more responses. I have had that problem and wondered why they did not answer mine when it was posted.

Oh yes,that's always happened to me. I've been answering same discussions at a time and it makes me tired and bored so when i see same discussions i just ignore it and answer those other topics, just afraid that mylot will deleted those same discussions including my response ad that decrease my points here too.
Happy posting.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

Yes I have started doing that as well. Just ignoring discussions that are not interesting or too similar to ones I have already answered. Also I am just checking in once a day for an hour or so instead of spending all my time here like I used to.

i can understand your state,i have been there too.i take a break and then come back refreshed.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sharra1 (3429)   ranked 308 out of 27,455 in mylot.com  4 years ago

I thought about taking a break but I get an email and I log in to answer it so I still visit the site. What I have done is cut back my time to an hour instead of all day as I was doing. I hope that helps.
