Good day Fellow Mylotters,
Indeed, you cannot do two things at the same time though there are some exceptions. But, what happened to me was not a part of the exception. Hence, due to the TV show that I am watching, I was not able to do my task online. And part of it is to do a topic here in mylot. Well, I know it is my own fault so I can't blame myself. Thus, my time was occupied by watching TV.

Watching TV can really be time consuming especially when you are watching great and movies you are interested in.

Hi,
you are right. We can not do two things at the same time. I also like to watch TV. I watch the TV for sometime and do mylot work for sometime. There is no need to blame yourself. There is nothing wrong in watching TV. We need some change in our routine work. We get bored by same things again and again.

I can understand not posting while watching a movie. Television shows I post during commercials, as most of the commercials are repeated so many times that you won't miss seeing it.

Oh dear. I know that feeling. I think many of us do. It is so easy to get wrapped up with a television program. Then when you feel that you're going to turn it off and get to work, there's one more program you just have to see. At least that's been my experience. I think you're in good company.

I have not found anything decent to watch in the last few weeks, so I have found other things to do on the internet.
How ever tonight I may watch more things on the crime channel, seems that they have stopped repeating all the other things that were on there.
We try to find a movie to watch as a family, but there has not been much on the tv which is suitable for us all to watch this weekend.

Ghello aira, oh well, know you still got to do a topic just right here. haha.
I know the feeling,my friend. There are also times i do like to participate in here while doing other things offline or online. It's always good to do things at the same time just as long as you can do it properly. well, anyways, we can't turn back time. what's done is done. what we have to do is make things right with what time we hve left.
oh well, there's always tomorrow but the problem is we regret the time we have somehow wasted.. well, at least we enjoy what did that time, right?

i can totally relate... but now, what i did was open the television while im on the computer. so that when the commercial comes up, i will try to read and respond to discussions. or respond while watching. there would be segments of the show where i can do two things at the same time, typing while listening to the television.

I do the same thing. The TV and the computer are my biggest problem! There's not a minute during the day when the laptop and the TV is not going at the same time. I tend to pay more attention to what I'm doing online than what's going on on the TV depending on what I'm watching. I am able to focus on what I'm doing online and still at least listen to the TV so I know what it going on in the show. I can also type without looking at the keys or the screen so a lot of times, I will look up every few seconds while I'm typing and watch the show for a second or two. The only time that I turn ALL of my attention off of the computer and onto the TV is on Thursday nights at 9:00 when Grey's Anatomy is on. I cannot be interrupted while watching Grey's. Even the kids know to leave me alone! Lol =)

As I write my wife is watching the final DVD in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, while I don't think I have submitted as many posts on Mylot during my short time here -so TV is not necessarily an obstacle to productivity-just have something on in the background that you either hate or have seen a thousand times. I guarantee you Mylotting will multiply! Have a great day.
