Lately my time is short for almost everything, including to be more time here in Mylot. Even though I have over 200 notifications to read I can resist to read and answer the new discussions Of course this make my notifications increase a lot more and it seems to me that I will never have all my notifications finished Do you also do this? Or do you answer your notifications first and only then start reading the new discussions?

I always start answering notifications but I start to visit other users profiles and I end up answering new discussions while I am trying to answer my notifications at the same time.

I read new and old discussions at the same time now. I found it works well. As I answer the notifications, I visit the person's profile and read their post.

@nela13 I'm finding this way helps me answer them in one day.

@just4him for me in one day it is not possible when I have too many notifications.

That is what I am trying to do as well and I like it but this way I don't answer all the notifications in one day.

I answer all notifications first, to be fair to the people who responded me. I want them to earn too as we earn through interaction (as far as I know). If I will not reply to them then they will not earn from their last comment, their time had been wasted and it's unfair.

@nela13 with my limited time sometimes, I just finish my notifications and run out of time reading new discussions.

I always answer my notifications, it is a fair thing to do but now it just take me more time as I am checking what is new at the same time.

I mostly do notifications first, then reply to the comments before going to the posts of Mylotters who commented on my posts. Sometimes, my time is not enough so I couldn't reply all at once.

@thelme55 we became so overwhelmed by our notifications that we end up not answering in new discussions.

I read notification and replay and than go with new disussions. I think it is fair since this site is primary about interactions so I do it First.

@LowRiderX I always try to answer something new but to read around 300 notifications at once I would need more than 2 hours.

@nela13 That's why I log several times a day or when I have up to 10 notifications, I come to a new one to answer first

First I read the new responses to my own discussions and comment on them, then I read some the new discussions. After a while I take a break from the new discussions and start reading the rest of my notifications (my old responses)

@nela13 Yes, I try to mix things a bit, because I also want to read the new discussions. Sometimes I have 200 or 300 notifications. I read some of them, do other things and then I return to the notifications.

@nela13 I finish all the posts I get in my e-mail and then go to notifications. So, I do not do them first either.

First things first is to answer all the comments and then proceed to new discussions. Sadly or luckily I don't have so many notifications

Maybe you are just disciplined to answer all your notifications regularly and don't let it pile up.

I also wrote a discussion about it. I used to clean the information first, then read the discussions, but now I can not do it anymore. I'm trying to see when there are fewer people here and then I respond to the notifications.
