Everyday is another chance for us to do and accomplish things. We work, eat, watch, have fun, pray. Different things and activities makes our day complete. As a mom, i keep myself occupied on things that really matters. Most of my time is spent taking caring of my daughter. After i finish with my family, i do not forget to have a special moment with myself. I post here in mylot and update myself by reading books or magazines or just plain listening to inspirational music. How about you guys what keeps you busy in our generation today?

My husband and I do not yet have children so we are kept busy by him working and me working online. I will wake him up at night in plenty of time for him to get ready, then I fix him something to eat. This is usually left overs or something quick to heat. After that I fix his lunch and send him off to work. I go to bed later and then the day starts again. I don't really do too terribly much so I am never really all that busy to be honest.

Hi money4moms, there are lots of routines keep me busy daily. the most important one is to have regular physical exercise on time every evening to keep myself fit and healthy. This enables me to work as a part time person to earn enough daily expenses. Other than this there are endless household chores to cope with as well. I usually would spend some time to take care of the plants twice a day in my front house compound. Of course the happiest moment is to surf net sitting in front of my laptop. I find great fun of listening to music, watching video, reading as well as participating in the interesting activities here at myLot site. I would never fail to report my daily arrival here Happy posting

Well, I am always dynamic (another term I use to replace busy) everyday, because I've got a lot of activities that let myself occupied. As an online journalist, I have to browse the internet, reading articles, writing news, and examine e-mail inbox almost every hour. I am currently working on my visual novel, either. If I've got spare time, then I will hang out with friends, watching movies or just going out somewhere fun. Reading novels is also one of my favorite time-killer to spend the day. PS: Btw, nice ID!

Thanks too Ramaditya. Nice work you've got there. For as long as your time is not wasted, i think its better than doing nothing at all. Good times with family or friends is a relaxing way to detach yourself too much from your busy world of being an online journalist. Happy day to you.

Aside from burning all my time working in the office, I still find vacant time to play musical instruments. Because it somehow lessen the stress from 8-12hours of work. I cooked and experiment dishes, eat while watching DVDs, those things are part of my daily routine when I got home. ;)

You are indeed a busy person. A lot i think do the same thing as you do about surfing the net. In our generation today even kids or teens makes them busy especially with other social networking sites. How i wish they all give sometime here in mylot. To help them earn as early as possible just doing what they already love.

Well lately I've been pretty busy doing household chores. Today I washed dishes, fixed lunch, vacuumed the carpets. also cleaned the coffee table, and bookshelf, paid a bill and now I'm surfing the net and doing some online window shopping thats pretty much what keeps me busy for now until I'm able to start those new collage courses. My next household activity is going to be redecorating my bedroom.

I enjoy regular cycling and swimming and I suppose that this keeps me busy through the day. Other than this I enjoy reading and writing online, I'm referring to My Lot! If I don't try and keep a little busy then my mind tends to wander and I start indulging in negative thinking and I don't like that at all. That's quite a busy task that you have though, looking after your daughter but very admirable too! I also enjoy listening to music and find it very relaxing during the evening hours when I'm not watching the television that is! I also have a love of computers and I'm in the process of building a computer from scratch although this is a very slow task for me as I have to purchase the individual parts and they can be expensive. Overall I guess it's important to remain busy otherwise as I said, the mind starts to take over and that can be a bad thing at times. Andrew

School mostly. I have classes Monday through Thursday, and I've got a lot of work to do when I'm not in class. I also am currently reading two books for fun, studying for the LSATs, and going to the gym three times a week. I also spend a decent amount of time online in an attempt to make some extra money.

Besides my normal work, I like to spend my spare time on films and online games. And I recently started my blog and it really keeps me occupied. Hanging out with friends and visiting family are another activities that keep me busy. But I admit to be busy tidying up the house is not always the appealing way of killing my time.

I can say I quite busy sometimes especially during my working day. I'm a shift worker and I work 4 days and have another 4 days off. On my working day, I work 2 days day shift and another 2 on night shift. On the day shift I wake up as early as 4 in the morning to prepare my food. I didn't ask my wife top do it as I want her to rest. She have a hard day taking care of my son. I work for 12hrs a day. I reach home around 6.30 pm. By then I take care of my son while waiting my wife cook. I'll go to bed aroung 9.30 pm. when on night shift, I spend most of my day sleeping as I need to stay awake all night. During my off day, if I didn't go for overtime, I have quite a relaxing day. Spend the morning do some house chores. In the afternoon it will be all relaxing after lunch. In the evening I do some gardening. At night after dinner, another relaxing time watching TV until bedtime. So far that is the routine for my life.

we just recently got married and to-date, still waiting for a child. so we are both just busy working, he is working as admin staff while i work online. so i basically am home alone most of the time. i make it a point to only work on my online projects during his office hours, so before he gets home early evening, i have already prepared our dinner and finished with some household chores, so we can always spend time together.

Now a days I am not getting much time to come on myLot because of my demanding job. I leave office after 11:00 pm and that is somehow not very cool for me, it takes minimum 30 minutes to reach home and after that I feel sleep and not feel like eating. My most of the time is gone in the office and remaining time is spent on household things, I like to listen music whenever I get time.

I usually read photography reviews, tutorials and news when I have the extra time. I also watch some sitcoms or documentary when I am not busy. I exercise every now and the in order to counter the stress from work.

what makes me busy always is schooling and work because i am a working student and i work while going to school at the same time. its hard for me to balance my time. but i try my best to cope up with my studies while working because it is for my own good.
