or are you the type to get backed up on something important to where you have to stop everything and spend your time on catching up on the one thing etc? i used to be good at balancing but of course im way behind on a few things so i will be not very active till i do some catching up.. or course me being the mylot addict i am i might not be able to stay away for long but i gotta focus on my school and working on my book 
my payout will suck but i need to get things done..
am i the only one bad at managing your time here or do you have to take breaks away from mylot or other things to fix something you neglected? my schedules so crazy i dont think its possible to be organize anymore lol!

You are still schooling?
I thought you are a full time house wife of something.
Nope. I try not to do the balancing act as much as possible. Mylot is leisure that I enjoy. But I cannot put my day job aside for this. Much as I like to. But I cannot.

I'm EXACTLY like you, moon! I know for a fact if it weren't for myLot, I'd be much better at getting things done.
Maybe it's the fibromyalgia we share, you think? My sleep absolutely sucks so I have to take naps during the day, so I can never tell when I'll be awake or asleep. I can't plan anything other than small things and even then, I can't plan exact times to get anything done. I just don't know when I'll be so tired I can't think at all or hurt so badly that even the tinest movement hurts.
This sounds weird, I know, but sometimes I'll be in the middle of responding to a discussion when something distracts me, something that needs to be done right away like my dogs are screaming at me to give them fresh water. I'll tear myself away from myLot, get up and give them fresh water, then notice something in the kitchen that needs to go into the bedroom, take it there, then notice something in the bedroom that needs to be done, do that, then remember that I forgot to feed the cat so it's back into the kitchen. Then, I realize I'm hungry and fix myself something to eat, then, I MIGHT remember that I was in the middle of a response here in myLot!
Sound familiar? LOL

yep i think mylot is the problem lol.. that and i went soooo long needing any kind of money possible no matter what the amount that i was here really trying to earn money.. then got addicted because it was fun but still had the drive due to money.. now that money wont be the number 1 stresser anymore for me maybe all i will have to deal with is the addiction part of it lol

Hahahaha! Good luck with that! I don't think there are any places around called 'myLot Anonymous' yet... might be a good thing to start, though. myLot IS addicting!!!

I have 4 chapters on my new book done, I am stopping for a few days, to see if I can make payout her, I need every penny I can get if you know what I mean. So most of the time I am good at balancing but I lost my internet connection for two days and that is why I am behind.

yeah i definitely understand! i have been gone i think 3 days or longer so im way behind and i dont think i will catch up but i had a lot of stuff to do.. i still didnt get much accomplished so im trying to catch up a little bit now then will prob be missing again and then play catch up again etc.. vicious cycle! i made payout already but not nearly the amount im used to so it will be painful when i get paid seeing the low amount but at least its something.. my internet keeps going out too!! its driving me nuts!

when my health was better it wasnt such a big deal because i had the energy and concentration to go with my drive.. but now i dont have either and im like just dragging to get a few things done and letting a lot of things slide

Well, I have taken a few brakes from my lot. somke longet then others.. but that is not because of my schedual.. really the only thing i do is on tuesdays and thurdays go to class. Im not working at the time so thats about all i have to do besides clean and be mommy...
But,in general I cannot do to many things at once.. or they will not get done. I do have to kinda focus on one thing at a time..

i used to be able to multitask and get a lot done but the last year or two i just have not been able to do that anymore.. i think stress and concentration issues is just making it impossible so i have to take breaks from this and that to catch up on various things
