A day to breath and take a step back from myLot

I agree with you as we are not robots and do need to take a break from time to time. I do enjoy coming here daily but after a while I do need a couple hours away. I find this helps keep and maintain my quality participation's. There are times that I have been here too long and find that I can't really put in my thoughts as I like, therefore, I realize it is time to log off. I will be taking a nice break next week as I will be going on vacation. I may be able to log in for a tiny bit but I think the away time will certainly be good, as then when I come back I will have yet more refreshed ideas.

hi megamatt I am so glad you did not say bored. I can never fathom why anyone would be bored here as theres a huge choice of discussions to chose from. I think anything repetitive even a job you love can make you feel burned out so to take a few hours or a day off just do not complain then you cannot reach payoff and mylots a scam blah blah blah. I unfortunately was forced to take 35 days off so was so behind on everything. my friends discussions and my own discussions that needed comments on.While I was in the rehab hospital I cheered myself up by imagining what topics I could just make great discussons on.okay when I got back I was in my room two whole days and wham my roomie comes out of er with shingles. she is contagious. I must be moved and oh no we will not move your computer and monitor oh not a television yes. okay so another 13 days without computer use. I could not even get to a shop where they had computers to use as I was still all banged up from my fall. So I was really all gung ho to go when I finally got back to mylot and my computer and monitor. lol

hi megamatt! i agree with what you mentioned here. no matter how much we like mylot and no matter how much we enjoy ourselves starting discussions and responding to others, there will come a time that we will need to take a break from it all. i usually do my mylotting at the office so when i'm on my days-off i refrain from doing mylot. i practice the same thing for computers basically and staying on-line. on my days-off i stay away from computers and i refrain from going on-line. so far i have succeeded a bit as i've only checked my office emails on my days-off and then i reply to the more important ones. i stay online for about an hour the max and then i just shut it all off and spend time doing something else. i agree that a breather is indeed good for everyone.

Me too feel the same as yours. I will choose one day to have a break and do something else. I can get bored very fast and by doing the same thing , need to see and deal with the same topics over again I really need some break otherwise I will not find that as interesting anymore. To avoid such thing happen I will not feel guilty to take a rest for a day. Do it naturally by not forcing ourselves is the best way to stay here.(^^)

Ah... the heart of my very problem. I agree with you that like in every activity, we need to get out of mylot from time to time. Part of it is for health reasons and part of it will be becuase mylot (in my opinion) will lose its appeal if I keep sitting here hour by hour. Like everybody else, I love mylot since it offers different things everyday. so much like has a different mood for each, however like work, mylotting can evolved into something boring, predictable and unchanging. That's what I am afraid of. For a person like me, I have a day-off where I shut down my computer and bring myself back to reality. I do the usual chores, the usual spur-of-the-moment activity. after that refreshing interlude, i go back mylotting to share my insights, observations and everything else. Funny, I learn from this site as much as I learn something outside of it.

I agree with you. I notice that after a few hours here in myLot, there are days that I just can't stand to read the discussions, specially when I don't find anything interesting. I think that, since I signed up on myLot, I didn't spend one day without login in myLot just to spend a few minutes. But, I guess that, with my classes coming back next week, I will not have much more time to spend here in myLot and I will take your suggestion and take at least one day of the week to rest.

Sounds like a good idea. I do take a break away from myLot some times. Normally, I get online to myLot in the evenings after I get back home from work, and spend about two hours. But, some evenings, I shorten that to about twenty minutes, just to have a break.

I might agree with you, since you have your reason, and you have your own lifestyle to live in. I won't mind to spend some time in mylot on a daily basis, since I need that money desperately. I can't afford to not logging in here and being lazy to indulge myself. Whenever I found some spare time, I will definitely come in here to post one or two lines and share my thought and idea to other people who I don't know. It is a bit fun and motivated since there is money involved.

I agree. Sometimes I feel like reading what other people say then other days I am being called outside to enjoy while its nice weather out. Its ok to take a break and even get a mental recharge so when you come back sometimes discussions seem fresh and you are able to reply much better. I don't feel horrible when I miss a day. After all we are here on this earth such a short time to just sit at the computer and not enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Have fun in whatever you are doing while taking a break!

Yes, sometimes there are no good topics to respond too. That's the time when i start some topics i would like to discuss. When i see the responses, i feel happy but eventually would be overwhelmed by the responses if they are a plenty already.

There will be times that we need to take a break from everything.. Sometimes we are so lazy to do anything. Yes, we need a time or day off to evrything
