My mind is swimming in confusion and my eyes are ready to pop out. It is internet overload. I just got done with a team challenge which requires all day devotion to Swagbucks. Today, nothing seems to work. My eyeballs are spinning and my brain has shut down. I think I need a vacation. Do you ever get to the point where going online is just too much? What do you do when that happens?

I need to do that. Everything is swimming before my eyes. I think the human brain can only take so much.

I have no luck with surveys. Too many questions and no credit. Done with them forever.

Sometimes I need to get away from the computer for a while. I do some chores in the house or go for a walk. When I come back to the computer I have new energy and I am ready to be active again.

@akalinus It is good to take a break and do other things for a while. I have a pile of books on the table next to the computer and I sometimes I also read while I take a break from the computer.

@Porcospino I read until I fall asleep every night. There are so many books and the time is so short.

I am like that with most everything these days. The amount of info one has to acquire these days to do about anything is staggering. Usually when that happens I just turn off the computer and go back to bed.

@akalinus I am not sure, but probably is a reason why everyone is so forgetful these days, speaking of which where did I put my keys.?

@crossbones27 Funny you should ask. I went to the shower room and on the way back, I lost my bottle of shampoo. I had to get a flashlight and find it. A guy walking his dog thought I was crazy. Maybe so.

Good idea. I wonder if anyone's brain ever exploded from too much information.

Even at night, the different activities float in front of my eyes in dreamland. Sometimes, I dream that I worked all night and am disappointed to find no credits in the morning. Does that happen to you?

I think I am taking on more than I can stand or understand. Swagbucks takes a long time to get anything there. Then along with other activities that I have to do every day, it is just too much. Aggghhhh!

Now there's an idea. But I really need to go for a walk or something.

When that happens, I watch a movie, go to the park and watch the activities there, or do my best to bring my focus on just one project, not several at once. I've never participated in the team challenges on SB. Is it fun? I don't think I could devote a whole day to it though.

The challenges are not fun. They last for a week. When I join a team, I feel an obligation to contribute as much to the team as possible. Our team came in second of four teams.

@akalinus When I had too much on the computer I go away from it and just relax and watch TV till I am ready to go back and work on the computer.

Yes, it does. But even offline, the phone is ringing and the mailbox filling up. Sometimes it would be good to take a vacation somewhere where no one knows us.

@LadyDuck I like my summers to be warm. There were a lot of cool summer days when I lived in NY state. One time, my kids were at camp in August and they had to ask the army to bring blankets because it got so cold.

It wouldn't be worth it to me to devote a whole day to swagbucks.
@akalinus (44366)

I earn 50 cents or more most days. I don't spend the whole day on it anymore. I do the things that are easiest when I get to the computer and keep doing them until it all comes up error messages. I am so over that kind of stuff.

@akalinus Fifty cents isn't worth it to me unless it's here. I do usually 75 cents here a day or so. Swagbucks is too much work for not enough payout.

@thislittlepennyearns So far, I only get pennies here. I am experimenting with ways to make more.
