What SHOULD you be doing instead of posting on myLot right now?

Okay guys, let's be honest, myLot is awesome and a lot of us could probably spend most of the day on here, but is there something else you SHOULD be doing right now instead? It's bright and sunny outside today (when it's not suddenly pouring hail, that is...crazy weather!), and there's a big fishtank in the other room that I really ought to doing a water change on today. But this is so much easier --and no one pays me to tend to the fish, heh. What's something you ought to be up to right now, or perhaps something you're avoiding doing to hang out here? :)

I ought to read some psychology instead of being on MyLot. I have a story about a teenage girl who smokes, and I am supposed to write about smoking seen from different perspectives like psychoanalysis, behaviourism, cognitive therapy etc. It sounds pretty interesting, but I find it hard to get started, and I keep on doing other things instead of writing. I also ought clean the rabbit cages and the cat's litterbox, but I guess I could wait one day ...I am definately not a procrastinator

Heh...spoken like a *true* procrastinator! XD Tell me more about your rabbit. :) I have two myself and love to hear about other people's. What breed(s) and how old is yours?

Oh wow, you've got quite the group! Are the siblings? That's great that you're able to give them lots of outdoor time in the summer months. My two are a male dwarf/rex cross who's kind of a dark seal point, and an 8 month old sandy (wild coloration) female Flemish giant. She's quite the handful and is actually going to live with a mara (Patagonian cavy...they're pretty interesting, I'd recommend googling if you haven't heard of them :)) tomorrow. She's going to be a big girl when full grown, though --probably close to 20lbs-- already 12.5lbs! Luckily the mara she's going to live with is 25lbs, so I think he'll be able to handle her. My little male roams free in a big room he shares with my birds, who are also all free-flighted.

I have 6 dwarf rabbits. They are white, black, brown, grey/brown, grey/white and grey/black, and they are about 2 years old. Their cages are in my living room, but during summer months, they like to spend the time outside, and I have a huge cage in my garden.

Welcome back dear :) I should be cleaning the kitchen... I keep peeking over at the dishes from my laptop and thinking about doing them... But this is more fun. And it's true no one is going to pay me for doing them! I should start asking my boyfriend for a penny per dish I wash, and ask more for the really dirty pans, lol. I'll admit since I joined this site, it's always open in at least one tab on my laptop. I may be slightly addicted!

Thank you. :3 Dishes are one thing I really have to be in the mood to do...and if someone *tells* me to do them, well, you can bet I'm going to immediately find some other task or chore to occupy myself with! Music sure helps, though. It's way too easy to get addicted, I think, but least it's something reasonably useful, right?

Yes. I'm learning things, meeting new people, and helping others. When you look at it that way, it's not a bad way to kill time. At least I'm doing something constructive. I have to be in the mood for the dishes too. They're just not fun!

I am a big multi-tasker person. I am doing surveys, and reading and deleting emails, babysitting my grandkids. Cooking dinner, baby is sleeping other kids playing or reading. Near by, Got clothes washed and on the line. Waiting for hubby and daughter to get home. I could go fix the fire before goes out as it is a wee bit cool. I could also fold some laundry but will wait until have the rest dried off the line then fold and put away all at once. No not anything pressing I need to do right at the moment. Kids fed the dogs and cats. So I am good.

I'm a big fan of multi-tasking, too. Sounds like you're a master, juggling all that at once. :)

myLot is only interesting when people post discussions and responde to your questions. So if everyone left and got on with chores, exercise, work, etc then there would be no-one left to post or discuss topics with. SO DONT COMPLAIN :) :) LOL

We're not complaining, but there's still other stuff we probably ought to be doing...doesn't mean we're gonna do it, though! ;)

I have nothing else to do. If I am not mylotting then I'm most likely to be eating or sleeping or maybe watching movies. I'm like a pig. LOL! Well, instead of wasting my time surfing the net and get bored... why not just post here in mylot.

As soon as I posted this discussion, I went and cleaned the fish tank. All we need is a bit of motivation! :D

I am at work but I have done all that I should have done and my shift will end in 20 minutes and then I go home. I can be here only when I have finished tasks here as they crop up but I was told I could read a book or whatever in slack times but I prefer myLot to a book eheh. Once I get home I really should think about going to bed but I make something hot to drink and log on again and find something interesting and... I can't remember the last time I had an early night

I should totally be doing my homework. I've had two weeks to do it and it's due in two days. Yup. I should be doing it. I should also go on a walk. (But nobody can come with me and I'd rather not go alone.) I also could be reading and working on that big stack of books that I have. But no. I'm on mylot. *facepalm*

You don't know how many books I have sitting around, just waiting to read. Damn you, internet, and your easy forms of entertainment!

Right now? I should probably be outside, getting the mail or something. I'm sure it's just a lot of bills though. Nothing I actually want to check out right now. I like to sometimes think that, if I refuse to think about it, the bills will all go away someday. It hasn't worked out for me yet though. I think my theory is somewhat flawed.

Oh man, I wish that was true! If I ignore my car insurance bill for long enough, they just won't notice that I haven't pay... _ But then that just results in it getting paid at the last possible moment; I wish it was a sounds theory, heh.

if i never know mylot then perhaps im busy chatting with friends right now, as i only use internet to chat with friends and family and read emails and articles online. but when i know mylot, i become busy here though not all the time since i also have work to attend too.

I was just outside for a few hours and got refreshed, so that cannot be it. I might say working a bit on a huge school assignment. Obviously, I think I got enough done this week, but there is always a little more that I can be doing. Still, I'll get to it soon enough, in fact, I am technically writing on it as I post. Just flipping back and forth from this website to that assignment. Perhaps I might have got the part completed that I wanted done a bit sooner had I focused on that but since I am almost done, that's really beside the point. Of course, I say perhaps about one out of every ten times I am on this website, there is obviously something else that I should be doing.

I used to do that, and it sure did take a lot longer to get assignments done, but I had fun doing it! That, and I'm a horrible (or really good, depending on how you look at it) procrastinator, so anything other than what I'm supposed to be doing is oh so tempting.

Right now I should be making some lunch and/or blow drying my hair. I've washed it, I just can't seem to drag myself away for long enough to dry it. It's not that it takes a particularly long time, it's just effort than I can be bothered to put in right now. I've got my hair wrapped in a towel on my head, so I know it's gonna dry with a kink in it if I leave it much longer, which will annoy me no end, but still I sit. Lunch is only going to be instant noodles or a sandwich, taking all of 5 minutes of my time. But you know what? I'm on holiday from work right now, I'm gonna be lazy :-P I've done yoga and had a shower, that's quite a lot achieved so far! Lol!

Well it is evening here now. Today it was beautiful out so I was outside with my dog for the morning. Still outside doing yard work until dinner time. Now I am here at MyLot and is 11:10 p.m. I should be in bed, going to sleep. That is what I should be doing instead of posting on Mylot but I like it here. I wanted to respond to comments left on my most recent discussions. I am about to sign off and call it a good day. Looking forward to tomorrow. Thank you for your discussion.

Nothing much really. I think I have completed all the tasks that I have to be done today. I just like to have things done so I don't have to worry about them later on. I like to have Mylot to do because it gives me something to do online otherwise I would just be so bored. lol.

It is quite early in the morning. There are other things besides posting that i could be doing. But I guess i wouldn't be having that much fun. I should be getting my daughter up for school. Just a few minutes more!
