Do You Do Other Thing While You're On MyLot??

Today in between responses I did the dusting and then later did the vacuming. After each chore I would come back to answer a few discussions. So, I actually got some other chores done and out of they way in the time that I have been on here. Do you multitask while you MyLot or do you just sit and focus on the discussions?

As for chores? Not really, I live alone, and Most times I'm not even here, so my place stays pretty clean... I do however Listen to music, do research, and mainly talk on the phone...

I am at work so, I do my work first. Then, on the slow moments, I respond and post!

That sounds like a great place to work if you're able to be here once in awhile.

It is a small company and the bosses understand that it can get slow so, they don't mind me keeping myself entertained during the slow moments!

Holy Cow!! You must have 8 arms and a ton of energy, LOL! I thought I was doing good by getting the few things done that I talked about, but now I think I'll have to work a little more.

I actually mylot while I am at work. Whenever I need a little break, or just need to clear my mind I will jump online, and see what my mylot buddies have to say. It works great for me, and I think it helps to keep my stress level down. I have noticed on days where I dont have any time to relax with a few min of mylot I do have more tention.

Yes, I am a pro at multitasking. Each day, I have about 10 windows open, and doing other things inbetween responding to discussions. I also have to get up and move around, so I go walk outside or to the garage to smoke.

I do a lot of other things. I tend to my daughter throughout the day. Get a lot of housework done. Chat with friends, check my other websites, myspace, emails etc.

I think if I move around like that throughout the day it gives me a little time to be able to think of more good responses.

Actually I do that every day....My computer is in the living room/sewing room area and the kitchen and laundry room is right next door so I cook, clean, listen to the tv, do sewing etc etc while being logged into here each day :-D

I like the computer in the living room too because it's right in the middle of almost everything that I need to do.

Oh boy, now you have me wanting to get a laptop. I would love to have a computer that was versatile like that. I would probably end up never leaving this site, LOL!

Oh yeah. Multi-tasking while on Mylot is the name of the game. For me, anyways. I created a tread or 2, post a response, then go check out a few things at my own website, accept new applicants, sometimes make a banner, while I am doing the laundry and making breakfast for my hubby. I check my email periodically after that and comment or respond to anything that looks interesting. Then in the afternoon, I am off Mylot to record transcripts and take screencaps of my soap and then I check back in here to Mylot after I am done all that and respond to a few more discussions. Usually check my email and do the same after supper as well. That is a great thing about this site,. While you are off getting other things done, new topics seem to appear that need to be answered! I love multitasking at Mylot and all over the net!

Well yes I am very lucky. My hubby keeps by 'puter purrin' beautifully, lol. Which is a really big help! And yes, I love being on it, I am definately not bored as long I have it in front of me. I do get frustrated, sometimes if internet speeds are lower and pages don't turn as quickly as usual...The laundry and the cooking? Well, day to day survival things. They get done But basically thats how most of my days go!

Wow, do you have a hard time finding a second to take a breath? LOL! I wish my computer was faster so it would be easier for me to speed some things up, unfortunately I'm stuck in the dark ages here and have to use dial-up because we live out in the country and don't have access to cable or satellite.

I usually multitask while on the computer. I have several windows open, one of which is Mylot. I try to look around for discussions I could respond to while doing other computer work and jump in whenever I feel like it.

Yes, at this time, I am scanning some documents. While waiting for the processes, I am posting here at mylot. Just recently that I will nearly reach 500, in the evening though, I just open mylot to browse more discussions and get to bed. Whew! It's indeed fun!

Yes, I often multitask or nothing would get done around the house. I often wander away from the computer screen to do other things.

Ohmygoodness, yes. I'm never at this computer without at least a half-dozen (or more) tabs open. I'll be checking Yuwie, email, a forum board from another site, etsy.com (I just made my first listing there!), banking, and looking up goodness knows what else. Oh yea, sometimes will have online radio station playing too, and occasionally a mahjong game or something.

I've seen people talk about mahjong on here before and maybe I live under a rock or something because I for the life of me have no idea what game that is, haha!~D

It's a form of solitaire game played with tiles. You have to match two like tiles to remove them from the board. Some games are better than others, there are dozens of variations out there. Do a search - you might find one you like!

I like doing that too, but as for the t.v. I can't do that and Mylot at the same time because one always takes all my focus away from the other. I do have the stereo on though. Welcome to Mylot, hope you have fun with us!~D

yes i do go through other sites too when i am at my lot. I check up my mail and visit sites realted to stock market and company specific sites simultaneously so as to accomplish the most in the minimum time period. This is my daily routine. Rarely i am struck to only one site when on net.

I don't surf too much while I'm on here but I do other things around the house in that time.

Sure I do. But when I myLot and want to give it time, it is usually for quite a while. Like when I am back active now again, gosh, the workload is incredible. I wasn't able to spend much time yesterday and I had to practically rush. But on usual days, I will take a "break" on and off and do housework (HOW EXCITING).

I know what you mean about how exciting housework is. I remeber when I did a million other thing to occupy myself and how sad it is that now housework is about the extent of my excitement some times, LOL!~D

I always have laundry going when I am here, but it seems that there is always something in the laundry here. I am writing down what I sold on Ebay now and doing this too. Plus I am looking at some home school sites to get some ideas for weekly lessons. It is fun to multitask. I am also watching The Beverly Hillbillies now too.I love that show!!

I used to love the Beverly Hillbillies and haven't seen it in years. I noticed that you had mentioned Ebay and I see a lot of people talk about selling stuff on there. I have a lot of things that I would like to sell but have no Ebay experience and don't know how it works. I'd really like to learn though.

I would be in trouble if I sat here all day too. I have tons of stuff to get done when I'm home, but Mylot is my treat when I get my chores finished.
