Do you take breaks from mylot? Why? Do you burn out or get bored of it? I sometimes take breaks because I get kind of bored, but I'll always come back. I like to wait a while so I can come back to tons of new posts and discussions instead of seeing the repeats.

Hi there. When Im breaking from mylot, Im normally up and doing something else, for that time, most of all to stretch out my legs and minimise blood clots... I take breaks every 1-2 hours that Im online...

Well i do take breaks also here in Mylot, coz sometimes i am not in the mood to participate and sometimes i feel lazy to move even just typing. Actually, we're not just typing here in mylot whenever we participate with these discussions, coz we also have to use our minds and think what is the best response we could make. And reading discussions here really takes time here. Have a nice day ahead from Kiko.

Whether it is mylot or anyother site, one should not work continously. Atleast once an hour, a 5 minutes break is essential and that helps you get over the fatigue and relax the body by walking up and down.

I don't ever get burned out...I just get too busy with other things going on and don't have the time to visit mylot. In the beginning, I would come on mylot just to see what everyone was talking about, and would rarely respond to discussions. I was more nosey than anything else. Then I got brave and began posting my opinions. I would visit daily, especially after I lost my my job. :-( I would search for work, come home and get on mylot to participate in the discussions. It helped keep my sanity I am sure!

Sometimes I take breaks because I'm just too busy, sometimes I take breaks because I get bored with it, and sometimes I take breaks because I forget! I hadn't been too busy this past month, but I just forgot that I could be spending time here instead of doing other random internet things. It is nice, like you said, to come back and have a bunch of new discussions and posts.

well people get tired you know :) and we got schedules to follow in life. or perhaps each has his own priorities in life so to speak. but then, yes sometimes we get bored and don't feel responding to mylot discussions so we opt to just take a break. it is a good practice i think - do not force yourself to do things without the proper motivation. do it at your pace and live easy. good day!

Yes I do take breaks from mylot from time to time. Sometimes I prefer to focus my full energy on some ideas I have developed and I wish to focus on those projects and I would take breaks from mylot. Besides, I do think after some mini-breaks, I would find mylot more interesting, it seems that it would have more interesting topics (or just my imagination!).
