Hello Myloters, I just want to know what everyone do first thing in the morning when you wake up. I am an internet addict and in some way, some of this addiction of mine is not good. Its affecting some of important thing I have to do in my daily life. But the truth is, even with all important things I have to do everyday I cant stop myself to check the net soon as I get out of bed and check my online earning program. Am I the only one who do this? If not, do you think its become a destruction to you? Thanks Myloters and Happy Myloting

Lol, "some of this addiction isn't good" . what sites do u visit :) Well... I take a shower. By myself... As for ur internet addiction , just say NO. U have the power to stop it. And none of us can help u in anyway with that. We could say: read a book, go to a psychiatrist BUT the only one who can end it is YOU. Find strength within urself; no excuses !!!

First thing I take my dog out for her to do her biz. Then I read some passages in the Bible say my morning prayers. Then I start my day I do check my email in the morning to see what is going on. When I am not working I try not to jump right on the computer like you it is hard. I do pop on and off throughout the day. Sometimes answering mail, working on surveys, here at My Lot. Looking for stuff to do for extra money. I only work part-time so I am trying to find things to supplement my income. All the while with the tv on staying on top of all my daytime shows I watch or listen to.

Thanks Snoopyfan for sharing what you do in the morning. Will if I have a dog like you maybe that would be the first I would do take it for a walk but I dont and even if I wanted to so bad I cannot because this means getting somebody too to look after the dog when I am away. Happy Myloting

Well, the first thing I do in the morning is find something to eat, watch tv, and have some coffee. My mom doesn't allow me to use the computer first thing in the morning. I have to do some chores first. So I can only mylot in the afternoons, when I'm all done with the things I have to do.

When I was working fulltime, the first thing in the morning would be rushing to get myself ready for work. Now that I'm semi-retired, the very first thing in the morning for me, is to switch on the PC. After cleaning up and getting my coffee, I would sit down and log on to check my mail, news and other websites such as myLot, stock market and so on.

I would say lucky for you your retired now. I cant wait to get to that stage where I dont have to worry about getting ready to go to the office.

I first go to the bathroom and then have my morning meal. After I've readied myself up for a school day, I spend the rest of the spare time at my PC, reading news on the Internet and checking my mailbox for new letters.

I tend to get up in the morning then i sort the children out with the thing they want aswell as need then i will turn the internet on and download the emails.I will tidy up aswell as put the washing on if there is anything to be washed aswell as put the dishwasher on or empty it.I tend to zoom round tidying and then i will have a cup of drink and do some of my emails.I also try to prepare the dinner aswell as that way there is less todo later on.I find nowadays that i am forever on the internet btrying to find ways to keep myself occupied.

Hi jugsjugs, I actually do this things as well when my partner is around but nowadays I'm always alone at hone because my business is in the other side of the world and his is on the other side. I actually just realize from what you said that I think I do this to occupy my time from when I get up early til when its time to go to the office. I do somehow though still reserve time to tidy up my apartment and when its time to clean I force myself to leave my computer alone.

I wake up late in the morning on most of the days ,especially weekdays. And then its a hurry burry to get ready and go to office.This is what usually happens on weekdays.I guess its all because of my laziness.Even if I wake up early I go back to bed thinking that there's more time.On weekends I usually browse on the internet in the morning

I too also check the internet when I wake up in the morning, its the first thing that would do all the time, but it all depends if I don't have nothing to do around the house or don't have any work for the day. Its OK to be that way make sure to just ease it a little bit make a schedule for you to use the computer and not to interrupt your important things to do in your daily life. Its not a distraction for me to use the computer right away when I wake up because I also have some important things to do in the internet, checking out important mails and so on.

Hi eve! when I wake up in the morning, the first thing I would do is check my mobile phone for messages. then I clean myself up and have breakfast. If I do not have any plans for the day, then that's the time I would check the net. I understand how you feel, sometimes I feel the urge to go online as soon as I wake up, but I try to fight it coz I do not want to be too dependent on the internet that I tend to put off things because of that. What I do is before I go to sleep, I think about what I would to for the next day, sort of a "to-do" list, so I could keep myself busy and stay away from going online LOL ;)

well i am an addict to with earning programs but i always hit the showers before doing anything else. the computer wont go away and i need to pee first before anything else after i wake up. its good that you are so determined to earn however its not healthy to neglect other things in your life for that.

The first thing I do in the morning is to have a warm cup of tea and then hit the bed again for few minutes. And like you I also log on to check my emails. Then I think I brush and then have another cup of tea. Earlier I used to sleep at late nights so as a result I used to wake in the afternoon , so after waking up I used to have lunch LOL
