I promise to myself I will be more active in MyLot but I can't. I promise I will be more "masipag" so as to see significant earnings?. I promise I will do more but I really can't. Since I started working, I have this feeling of getting easily bored, as if when I force my self to continue I will really feel sick or get sick. What type of disorder could it be? I work in a school for 3 years and on the 4th year the feeling is so different. Then I work in a transcription company, it so boring too working six days in a week, having the same routine everyday. Now, I have experience to work as a writer and now I am bored with writing. I want to do something new. I can't do MyLot for long hours and almost everyday. It is better if I rest for some days then comeback again when I want. How I wish I can get rid of this feeling.I want changes but not too many changes in life. I just don't want things to be repeated over and over again!

All that i could tell you is-it's all because of your conscience.You better take rest! And this boredom-all that i guess is because you might-i mean you might not enjoy what you are doing.Well,in some cases this happens to everyone-when you are going to thoroughly enjoy what you are doing and whatever you are doing and whenever and wherever, that's going to be the best medicine.Enjoy teaching- enjoy working-enjoy myLotting (you really could do it easily) think of it, you could earn, not only earn, but have new friends, you could help lots of people in here, you could get a 10 star in myLot in a while, you could reach 500,then you could add photos in comments and responses, you could reach thousand-that would be a milestone..You could be the first of these 27000 odd memebers who are interested in myLot.com and you could be so happy of all this.. So, all that you need to do is develop interest. It's not just in myLotting-everywhere else-if you are going to be a teacher-enjoy teaching-honestly,you could learn more while teaching-meet stdents of various characters-help them-that can give you satisfacion!You could see people scoring a lot in your subject-you could see students LOVING the subject you handle.And lots more.. Writing- ah!my passion-to say it all-i developed interest in it because i loved this english language.Yet you could see me committiing some mistakes and that's because honestly i don't think of the previous word i used whil typing the next one.Mostly i type whatever comes out of my mind when i type-and that's ho most of the writing comes.You could change places where you write-enjoy sceneries and try writing about it-or maybe change topics-there are lots to do to CREATE INTEREST and that is what your disorder (if you would call it so) would also be.All that your disorder could be is "Lack of interest in everything-even eating(LOL)-it would happen if you take your life to be boring.It is always going to be interesting only if it's going to be your thought everytime.. Good day and Good luck! Life could be interesting only if you think it could be..

Whatever you do, be it teaching singing, drawing or writing for my lot and gardening and cooking -a sense of involvement and interest in the chosen field would only augment your sustained interest.But of course the Time factor is there.Even I wanted to contribute as much as possible but should think of balancing between domestic chore and writing. A commitment towards one's goal ,that is essential in life. That commitment would lead to a sense of inspiration, and extreme dedication.'Hitch your wagon to the polestar' that should be the motto.I am fully in agreement with Shrinithi18 in this aspect.A twaddler establishes only slowly.Likewise perfection and commitment towards the goal come slowly with the passage of time. Then there is no question of boredom creeping.For a meaningful life these principles should be inculcated.

Do you feel the same way when you are doing something else like watching movies, eating a meal? Or you do only feel that way when you are working? Having the same routine day in and day out can be seen as boring but if you look at it positively it is called stability. When you have settled down, whatever you do will become a routine as that is what you are needed to do, or you yourself think that is important to do. Life can be boring as we will need to eat and sleep everyday as well as to work in order to buy food and shelter. Lucky is the person that has the freedom to choose what he wants to do or not to do. For most people, there is only one choice.

True in many sense, routine is there in everyday life for stability and we need to do them every day. I observed I get bored too with watching movies, and eating. Sometimes I cannot finish the whole movie that I am watching. I don't want to eat the same kind of food in a row. I think I can solve this matter if I really work on it.

Maybe you should stop thinking that it's work. If you see mylot as a hobby then i don't think you'll be lazy.

I usually come to mylot daily but its not necessary that i would post or be active in discussion each day. i take a break whenever i feel bored sometimes i invest online or try new things just so that things don't become repetitive everyday

Well, honestly i think everyone actually at some point having this kind of issues. It's just the matter of how long it would take for that someone to feel bored and actually sick doing what they had to do. I am also having your kind of problem. I was thinking that i can make big bucks in myLot after hearing that someone has earned about $2/day. I think i already spend about 10 hours straight on mylot and all i've earned was 50 cents. I know that's all it's worth since even spending that much time, i still only manage to post about 20-40 post for each day. No more than that. And at the end of the day, i feel really sick and has to lay myself on the bed to actually sleep for like 10 hours. When i wake up and open mylot homepage, i still feel a little sick from earlier before i sleep. I am actually still feeling it now as i'm forcing myself to write. But well, at the end we are the one who are rewarded without even having to invested anything. :)

Thanks, had a great time reading your response. If you really force yourself to make about 2 dollars a day on mylot you will certainly feel sick. Some point in time most of us actually feel it. There are just people like me who gets bored easily or is not comfortable when you are doing things over and over again.

Hi. I find your post interesting for I too have a bad habit of easily losing interest to things. But here's what I thought which what I think others have already pointed out... you don't like what you are doing. That's that. That's normal for an individual. One seeks something that is worthwhile hence we try and try new stuff. That's the purpose of "change" and we ought to know that by heart. Once we get to that spot where we find satisfaction, without even knowing it, we are doing our best and we would even forget that there's such thing as "boredom" or "boring" in our vocabulary.

Yes, you got it correct! The main reason why are bored is that we are no longer enjoying what we are doing. "Boredom" will not be part of our vocabulary and we know that by heart. That is why we need to try and try new stuff!

Hello, I think everyone gets those feelings of tiredness and boredom from time to time. I know I certainly do. All I can suggest is to take a break and go and do something completely different or mad, maybe something you have not done since you were a child. Have a laugh with good friends. Smiling and laughing always lifts the mood. Just give it a try. Have fun.

Well why not work in some place where you won't feel bored? like some place where you get to do what you LOVE to do. I can stay here on mylot as long as i want as i love it here and i really do not get bored..

I guess we are made of the same mold. I too get bored and I also have my real life farm and house wok, so by the time I sit before the computer I get tired and this makes me stay away. Well recently I noticed an increase in earnings even if it was only one response a day. so, I think my lot rocks. wash your eyes from time to time and drink water. This will reduce boredom.

Well, sometime we are like you too. Wanna give up but we can't. In your case right now, better you log into mylot whenever you like to write discussions only or you can set down your goal in earning money on mylot, then how many discussion should you do a day, then you will have a goal to continue with mylot. Sometime, writing is so boring too, i know, i used to have that feeling, but when i read the others members' discussions, i found that it is interesting, then sometime i just read and read only...we can do many things on mylot, don't need just writing and writing, it will make you bored soon. And finally, you can't find that mylot is attractive to you anymore, you can leave it there for a while, find another site to join... However, i still hope you are happy with mylot.

If you are doing the same activity everyday, you will get bored. That's so normal. And that's so obvious :p. Now try to vary your daily activities. As an example, for first week, you can do the writing job, while on the other week, you can do the transcription job and so on. And if you are getting bored too fast, remember these two phrases: "don't give up" and "be consistent" :p

WOW.This is a mean to find interestin and happiness.Everyone want to encounter kinds of suprise and exciting.Human need to satisfy our various desires again and again.one complete, another or others appears.Some of them,also me, want to enjoy different life and stytle which we don't like or appraise not good. But we dont devote any action to change.Maybe we just stay here to shout"This is not I want,I dislike" we often ask yourself"Can we do like that we admire life person did" Such as get up 6 o'clock,do physical exercise consisitent,reading some per day, make a good plan and executing, upgrade continuely.Not maybe we obey all the rules. No pain,no gain.One work input spring, get one harvest in autumn.Are we action, or waste our life.

it sounds like you don't like to do lot's of things thats only because you don't love what you do, which means that you haven't found anything that you want to do for the rest of your life.... but you'll get there.

I've been there, its called a rut, not a routine. Sometimes its hard to find creativity when you do the same thing over and over again. Your job is important so don't loose focus of why you have it, money to pay your bills. Change happens slowly when we want something different so just keep your creative edge sharp and look for things to write about. Reading helps to spark new ideas so grab a book when you are bored.
