How do you divide your time online?

As a newbie to myLot (but not to blogging) I have always found that if I became too involved with too many online activities I ended up not doing justice to any of them - some get neglected a bit and some get neglected a lot. I came to the conclusion some time ago that I must organise my online time better. Some of my online activities don't actually need that much daily work done but others need regular care and attention and myLot is, of course, one of these. So I propose to spend 1-2 hours at a time on myLot followed by a shift to another activity - and so on. Rotating myself this way will, I think, make the best use of my time and give me a chance to build up my connections on myLot. I'm guessing that most of us will follow a similar plan but I must admit that I do tend to get sidetracked a little if I come across something interesting. I will stop what I am doing and research it for my own amusement. This cuts into my productive time and I should really be more focused - what say you?

I can't organise my online time, there are too many variables that change constantly every day for me . I just read what catches my eye and comment on what I find interesting.

I know that feeling! I get sidetracked very easily and the next thing I know I've online three hours and did nothing!

I can relate with you because I am like that too sometimes. That is why I think in order not to be sidetracked, we should list down all our priorities within a day and have a mindset that we are going to stick with them no matter what.

Just do the best that you can. That is what I do.

I try to go on at least twice a day when I'm not busy. Lately it's been in the nights. But I hope to get back to be more active in 2019.

What you're saying is true. I don't get sidetracked too much - not sure why but mostly I'm either here or away from the computer doing something else.

I also have other sites and blogs that I am active with that has to do with photography, writing, and art. I also enjoy spending time here on mylot because of all the interactions. So, normally I will come on to mylot after I'm done on my other sites. I have cut down my time on fb in order to spend more time working on my crafts. Mylot is quickly becoming my favorite social media.

I usually have a fixed schedule in teaching online at night. I can do random activities on daytime.

I just pop in and out here as I have the time. This time of year it is easier for me to do that more than I can during the summer.

@ThreeTeddies When I go on the computer in the morning I have certain things I want to get done before I come to My Lot.

I don't usually do division, but I usually limit my time online (according to what I need to do).

I don't exactly have a lot of time online so I would go on mylot as much as possible

I am only active on myLot. I like this site, I can write if I like, or simple interact with people, this makes me feel free. I do not want to feel "forced to work", no more now that I am retired.

I agree with you. Since I don’t do much online except for myLot, I drop by when I have the time. I’m usually out of the house.

I really do about an hour or so in the morning of myLot email and a couple other small activities. I try to get back on later in the day.
