For me, I usually do mylot before cleaning the house or washing or anything else. then, when I can not find anything to reply I will just leave from my computer and start doing the household work. and after few hours I'll go back and do mylot again. There are times that I spend more time in here if there are topics that are interesting to me. How about you? how did you divide your time between online work and household work? just curious to hear from you.

[i]Hi Bebs, This is my routine everyday, it varies but most of the time during weekdays, I am following this! After hubby will left to work, I will proceed to chikka and talk with my Parents, Sister and friends and then open my yahoo for notifications, work for an hour and then will clean the house, wash dishes not a lot since hubby and I don't take breakfast, we will only have tea before he left and then take a shower and then I will be back in the PC, watch some video or news then try to exercise while watching! LOL! And then back to Mylot work until I will starve and then eat then work again! Sounds so committed..hahahha![/i]

myLot used to be the first thing I did but then it turned out to be the only thing I did. Now I just check the daily digest to see if I'm featured, then I respond to my friends discussions. That usually takes about an hour, I try not to spend all my time here, its not good to watch the sun rise and set while sitting at the computer.

You should check it out, it has the featured myLot discussions of the day. Maybe you've been featured and you didn't know.

I used to just get straight on myLot before doing anything else, I would always plan to do the housework later. Later never came though and so the housework would just pile up all week. Now though I have changed my ways and I now get all the housework done before I even switch the computer on!

well, there are also advantage when you live with your parents. You have no expenses to make so, all your earnings from mylot will be for you alone, that is why you need to help cleaning because that is the only contribution you can share while living with your parents.

On the weekends I'll do my housework before I do anything on the computer. I work outside the home during the week so I check email before I get my son off to school. Between his bus and when I have to leave for work, I'll check email, myLot, etc.

i prefer to work in a neat and clean enviorment and would love to complete my duties towards my home and see that all my family members have what they need before i sit here on my computer doing any kind of work. Mylot is just one small part of what i do on the net and the major part is planning my imvestments, doing research,blogging and surveys.

I usually do mylot before I do my housecleaning, if I don't watch I'll be on the computer for hours, and before I know it, it will be time for my hubby to get home and I haven't done anything all day...heehee. Alot of times, I'll take a break, if I don't have find anything interesting right then, I'll go start the laundry or sweep my floors or something, sometimes it can get neglected but it will get cleaned and done eventually.

MY friend what you are doing is wrong. Do the house work first and then when you are finish and have a bath then you attack MYLOT. Remember this is an hobby. Before I started working, I will wake up early in the morning and MYLOT and then at 9a.m. do the housework. After doing all this then I go back to MYLOT. I realized that I am able to do more without worrying about housework etc. On Saturday I do the laundry and then MYLOT afterwards. You see you will see your earnings even better when you go this route. All the best. Kerry

I start my day browsing mylot, lol. And like you, if nothing interesting can be found or it's time I go on with what needs to be done. I have three kids to take care off, too, although the older two are in school now. Still, there is only little time left for computer stuff. But I usually set up the kids with breakfast, get my coffee and browse until they are done, and on goes the day...until I can take a quick break or are badly in need of some 'adult' conversation

Actually, I'm kind of forced to do the chores around the house before I really can just spend my time mylotting or something else along those lines. I do most of the dishwashing after meals, vacuuming, cleaning the restrooms, and some other chores around the house you can think of, and I really don't care too much about it, disregarding the genders hehe... (I'm a guy and I really don't care too much about it). It's really easy to tell why the freshman college students HATES commuting like me, because they just want their complete, unlimited "freedom", and just stay away from their parents (not me). Well, I really can't complain too much about it, because my dad and my brother have to go to work almost everyday, my sister in law has to watch the newborn baby, and doing the most of the chores around the house has to be somebody, right? and that's me!! LOL happy mylotting :)

Oh really? sp, you are doing the work of a lady ha? anyway, there's nothing wrong with that. I;m sure they are glad to have you with them because you are a great help. Since I am the boss of my time.. I can just postpone my household work and do the online thing first. But today, I clean first before mylotting.

Well for me I would clean the house first because I would need to do my chores in real life and I mean all my chores before going to the internet and going with my usual business on it.Although I spent a lot of my time on the internet that in real life.Hope you liked my response and have a nice day.

yes I like your response. It is really good to start the day working in online thing if the house is clean and arrange but that is the thing that I have to consider because I am used to logging to my computer before anything else. My computer is just beside my bed so, it is the first thing I see when I wake up.

I don't think this questions apply to me but I like to answer it anyway. Well for starters I don't really do anything around the house. I just sit in front of the computer all day long. And will just stand to do some stretching. It's not like we have a maid or something. I am asked to do things but I am just too busy to do it. So I always ended up being yelled at and that I don't contribute to the maintenance of the house like cleaning etc.
@Bebs08 (10681)

so, it is your choice not to clean the house and to be in the PC whole day. No problem for you because there are other people in the house who will do the work if after they yell at you, you don't pay attention, they will do it anyway.

I do home daycare so cleaning the house is an all day thing for me. I usually start by doing some cleaning then I see what is going on at myLot. I can only sit at the computer for a few minutes at a time so I go back and forth all day long. At naptime I have a little more time to do mylot because I don't want to wake the children up with noisy cleaning jobs.

oh that's a good idea. That is what other said multi tasking. Well, that is good but I can not concentrate doing things if I'll do more than one at a time. I want to have focus in each job.

I start my day early at about 5am, prepare breakfast and have a nice hot cup of coffee. Then, log in at mylot for an hour, then prepare lunch, afterwards mylot . Take a shower, mylot again until it's time for me to get ready for work. At breaktime i am on mylot again. In the afternoon after i get home from work i am on mylot, until before dinner. After dinner, grab my hot cup of coffee and i am on mylot until maybe 1am or 2am cause i have to be up at 5am again. But during weekends, i have a different routine. I get up at 6am, breakfast, do my chores including lunch then mylot until the late afternoon and evening as well. Sometimes or often times, i am on mylot while doing my chores, i just can't get enough of mylot.

O wow!! it seems that you are very dedicated to mylot ha? anyway, yes, this place is addictive. You don;t want to stop once there are lots of interesting discussions to respond. But there are times also that you get bored in here specially if you can;t relate to the discussions. that's that time I log out and be back later in the day.

I normally do mylot in the morning for few hours and then my cleaning! And go back after lunch until its time for me to cook dinner. But in the evening and during weekend I can't do mylot so much! Because my husband use the internet also, we do have two laptops but only one cord for internet.

There are other members in the house to do the household work. I am mostly sitting on my PC and mylotting and visiting other forums. I do play the guitar occasionally. Nowadays there are so many forums that you can practically spend the whole day doing just that.
