Hi MyLotters In the past few days, I was gone through a number of different situations in my life relating to ONLINE EARNING. I was always interested to use internet to get an online job to add a little bit to my savings. For this purpose, I used to visit different sites and forums. I got a little bit success. But at the end, I asked to myself that whether the ratio of my earning online is adding anything to my savings or it is affecting my savings by adding my health costs to it. I used to work online for more than 4 hours daily. I found myself always tired and angry person becuase working on the net for about 3 to 4 hrs a days sitting before your monitor adversely affects both phsically and mentally. It has also an adverse affect on our psychi. I decided to have a detailed study on this topic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the results and create awareness among the net users. And surely my study can never be completed without your feedback. So please provide me with your experience and the changes you have noticed in yourself both mentally and physically. Thanks

Hello I've been working online for two years now and after trials I am finally making what I would be making commuting to work. I believe you have to do your research and find a work online that is rewarding to you or gives you some sense of fulfillment. You want to treat your online job just like you would a regular job, I wouldn't volunteer my time at a job if it had adverse reactions on my psyche. I do find breaks refreshing on the job. I answer the phones and deal w customers. Some periods are busier than others. When I find myself annoyed, I step away from the computer if I can. When I don't have to work I might visit a park and walk or even incorporate excercise into my day. Stretching or anything that keeps me active usually corrects my mood. I am moody..

The positive thing that I have concluded from the above discussion is that working online itself doesn't affects us but the key factor that affects us is how we take that job on our mind. I totally agree with you that I must find a job that gives me sense of fulfillment on the one hand and rewarding on the other.

I have been working online for almost two years now and I stay in front of the computer all day long with breaks every an hour or so. I have not noticed any changes in my body system though. Perhaps, I was enjoying my job so much that is why I am not looking at the disadvantages. However, even when I was still working for a company, I was on the computer almost the whole day and that was for more than 10 years. Since I was in charge then of the payroll, most of the time has to be spent on the computer and similarly when I was in HR, it was the same all over again. So if you would add up all the years I have been working in front of the computer for 8 or 9 hours straight it will amount to almost 15 years. It does not even include the time I spend for Facebook and reading the latest news and myLot of course. I am still cheerful and full of life except when I have personal problems.

Hi there. If you notice yourself always tired and angry after few hours of working online, perhaps you are not enjoying it. I believe that work must be something that we love doing and we are passionate about. That is what will make you happy. I have been Working online for more than 3 years now and I should say I love every minute of it. I also do not force myself to work online if my mind is not into it. If you are happy with what you are doing I do Not think that would negatively affect your health unless you are stressed with other areas of your life.

I am here earning online a large chunk of the day. For me it would be no different than at most jobs unless you are in an active job then you will be sitting mostly or standing all day long. I feel that I have a very creative mind and myLot is a reason for that. I can come here in a creative mind set and find many different topics to express myself or expand my thoughts for the day. I enjoy online earning because I can work at my own pace. I also can get up and go for walks or whatever I need to do for my mind set. I don't have to sit consistantly if I am feeling low, just find something else to do. If I were in a job I could not leave. If I was feeling down I would still have to finish out the day reguardless of what I felt. I am also a person who loves to spend time with God. So when I'm not here on the computer I will be outside in prayer or reading my bible. I could not do that at work, ever, because of the state and religion having to be seperate. I could not even be free to pray in my break time at a job. So these are the reason I enjoy online earning and this is no burden on me at all. It is like a hobby and my health is not at risk unless I just will not get enough exercise. Sometimes that is the case but I can always improve that.
