While Your On The Computer, What Else Are You Doing

By that, do you multi-task? I often to listen to music while browsing the net. I listen to music while here on myLot. I would even go to those PTC sites that I'm a member of while listening to music and waiting for certain pages to load up on tabs here in myLot. What else do you do while here on myLot while infront of your computer?

[question posted by ratyz5]

responses and comments:



I listen to music and watch the share market movements in another page as I mylot.And check my mails too. [balasri]
Share market movement...confused hmmm, along the job you do? Yeah, I also check mail too since, myLot doesn't really send emails on replied responses that we post.. lol Thanks for sharing happy [ratyz5]


I watch tv. Mostly I watch my daughter color at my feet. Sometimes we sing.once in a while she sits in my lap and tries to help me type. [ersmommy1]
That's very nice happy Thank you for sharing [ratyz5]



I usually listen to music or watch the tv while browsing the net. Sometimes, I browse the net while listening to music and watch my child play or color beside me. [heart143]
Similar with ersmommy1's activity with her children I also listen to music, well anything but mostly from the anime shows that I have watched blush Thank you for sharing happy [ratyz5]


most of the time if I'm on the computer, I'll be browsing multiple sites at once, listening to music, chatting with friends and downloading something. [kevsgirlalways]
I see, multiple sites like we all do and downloading.. that just reminds me, I need to get some songs. Thanks for posting and inadvertently reminding me of what I want lol [ratyz5]



hi ratyz5, how's your day? happy anyway, i do lots of things simultaneously. work while listening to music. watching videos while downloading. checking emails, chat and many more. as long it does not hang. LOL.. just a little info, according to Wikipedia.org, A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a list of instructions. for more info bout this... here's a link for you.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer thanks for posting and sharing this....rolleyes cheers and God bless... [delgar]
Hello to you, delgar happy So you work with your computer or at the office? I often always download through torrents so its always either downloading or uploading at the background while I do the rest of the things I do with the computer. I often check mail first thing with computers with net connection as well. Thanks for the link, I hope the content is easy to understand and not detailing with techie terms that would soon confuse me more sad Thanks for sharing too [ratyz5]


I usually multi-task also while in the computer especially when myLotting. I listen to music, arrange files, read emails, chat online in YM, browse and maximize also by going to PTC sites and while waiting for them to uplaod, go to different tabs. Well other than that, when there is a phone call, I take that also and when hungry, I eat in front of the PC. I also print... whatelse? well I guess thats really multi- tasking. LOL [gabrielle47]
Listening to music Arrange files read emails Chat online PTC sites in different tabs.. I guess the new YM does have its function with chatting even while your just checking mail happyI also eat infron of the computer when I'm busy with it lolThanks for sharing. ^_^ [ratyz5]


While Im on the computer, I am also watching television. Most of the time, I feel bored when I am typing and clicking on the computer alone. I always shift from doing one thing to another or doing things at the same time. Just like now, while Im typing, I am also playing with my daughter. And watching television at the same time. Sometimes I also listen and sing along with the music while typing. [lucky_witch]
Hmm, when watching television, I'd just swivel my chair to my right and I have a clear view of our television. I also get into situations like that, being slightly bored so I take my attention to something else until I get motivated again to continue what it was that I was earlier doing. I often type the words that I sing so, I'd just type along the rhtythm of the song that I'm listening to lol Thank you for sharing! [ratyz5]


Yep, I do multi-task. Doing home chores, like cooking. I also turn on the tv, whenever I want to watch my favorite program. And when I'm tired, I log on to yahoo! radio and listen to music launchcast. [raijin]
As long as we could function well at every task the we are doing happy [ratyz5]


i used to listen to music when i am on computer but now i am messaging my friend,.and also i am eating chips(Ruffle's Lays) i am also uploading my college pictures in a site which pay me for uploading [nomoso]
I usually eat food and with spoons since my hand gets sticky with finger food. How do you handle that? Uploading pictures that get you paid.. that's nice ^_^ Thanks for sharing! [ratyz5]


Well i always do listen to music, or you can say multitasking. Whenver i start anything in my computer i always listen to music while doing my work. And aswell as during internet i do mylot with listening music and downloading movies process is also keeps on... Keep posting!!! [mnsrwt123]
I'm surfing the net, finding new ideas, reading blogs and I open my adobe application and start designing... [icelandics]


When I am on the computer, I watch television sometimes. I also go and get some of my household chores done also. I work with alot of sites every day while working Mylot. I have to multitask to get them all done daily. I do my bills, laundry, cook and you name while working. [stephcjh]
Not only does your computer multi-task, you multi-task yourself as well. [ratyz5]


I am such a multi-tasker.I feel strange when online and only doing one thing. I am not a big phone person but I do love to be typing away as I am talking. Some say it is rude but most do not care as they are doing the same thing. My television isn't on too much lately but 9 out of 10 times that it is I am doing something at the computer while watching tv. I also am very good at folding clothes and checking what it going on online at the same time. I used to have at least 10 PTR/PTC sites open at a time while chatting on yahoo and in at least one forum but I got bored wit those programs so now I just chat on yahoo and in forums at the same time. You will notice when I am chatting in too many programs when I start making stupid typos like the word car when I mean cop. [razcal2267]
Wow, that's quite impressive. When I talk, I usually type the words that I'm saying. I can't talk to someone straight in the house while chatting with someone on the computer or typing posts and responses blush I could only go to two PTC sites at the moment and I'm even getting more tired than usual. Chatting to more people is also something I get confused most of the time happy [ratyz5]


have you ever try the yahoo music? i have my own radio station there at yahoo music. but this site sucking banwich so the other site i open getting very slow. when i used the computer, sometimes i eat snack, chocolate, sometimes with watch TV if the show is very interesting. [diansinta]
Anything that would do the job will do [ratyz5]


I'm excellent at multi-tasking, lol. Things I usually do while on the computer consist of listening to music, doing homework, writing essays (a little at a time between my fun), and watching television. On one occasion, I whipped egg whites to stiff peaks while talking to someone online. XD I'm crazy. [Antithesis]
Crazily able in doing multi-tasking happy You can do homework while doing those things? Well, I guess I'd use the computer in doing some details for my homework but, not entirely something different. Your well coordinated, I guess [ratyz5]


I multi-task, sure. I listen to music while reading articles on certain websites/blogging/myLOTting, I also tend to watch movies "simultaneously" (sometimes, there's one playing on my DVD-ROM, while I'm waiting for Crunchyroll or Veoh to load). [hitomikanzaki]
I also listen to music, mostly anime though, when I use the computer. Always in shuffle so that it seems like a radio that I can't anticipate the next track that would be played next happy I also do that watching routine when I'm waiting for other things to load up on the net [ratyz5]


I am usually making cups and food for my children. Sometimes even changing diapers LOL!!! Right now I am watching Rachael Ray make some food! [muse02]
Your using a desktop or a laptop? I could eat while at the computer, I can't make them though while on the computer..doh I can't even get my nephews diapers changed unless I leave other things so that I could focus on him. You sure seem skilled on multi-tasking.. [ratyz5]


I usually watch tv and eat while i am using my computer. [xixinha]
You type with one hand while you eat with the other.. Hmmm, since there's two screens to look at, one eye would be on the monitor while the other one is on the television? Nah, just kidding happy Thank you so much for sharing! [ratyz5]


I'm definitely a multitasker ratyz5. While on the computer I'm usually on myLot, working, checking out everything I need to, listening to music...downloading music. I try to be as efficient as possible when I am on the computer. [starlight81]
Yeah, that's a good one to consider when multi-tasking, being efficient in utilizing anything while on the computer Thank you for sharing! happy [ratyz5]


I listen to music as you do...I would like to be able to say I can work from more than one window...but at times I get a bit muddled if i do!!! It usually happens that I accidentally close the wrong one down!!!Maybe I should practise a little more... [ruby222]
Do you also use the short-cut keys on the keyboard so that you wouldn't always be clicking windows with the mouse? Do you shuffle your window viewing with Alt+Tab? You can add Shift whenever you want to shuffle backwards too. happy Which web browser do you use by the way? FireFox and IE both have that Tab feature which make it more easier and less window usage when it comes to surfing the net [ratyz5]


Yes I am expert on multi-tasking LOL. yes I do somethings while in front of the computer, aside from myLot. But tonight, I have tried to sign in on my messenger,and also check personal emails. It is quite confusing, the windows and all but still I can manage. [my_january]
Maybe shortly, you wouldn't be an expert anymore but a master multi-tasker when it comes to computers and the things you do while on it [ratyz5]


I am almost always on the computer I am either working on blogs or novel for money, or in related projects. I currently answer myLot space in between bursts of writing or coding. You might call that what I am doing while I am not working on the computer. I seldom listen to music while I write, for the simple fact I can only concentrate on so many things at once and unless a song has some sort of deep connection to what I am writing, it really interferes with what I am writing. TV is also out for the same reasons, unless I am actively blogging what is on the screen like Idol. I often blog on short films so you might say I do that as work rather than escaping from work as well. [bradhart]
So it seems your work on your computer really does require you to multi-task. Thanks for sharing! happy [ratyz5]


ha watching kids washing clothes washing dishes.. listening to music folding clothes..lol and a few other things [dnbuster]
Your quite a house keeper I'd probably won't get around washing dishes or clothes while on the computer happy Thanks for sharing! [ratyz5]


While on internet i do many task simultaneously. Music is always on mostly light music . Other things which i prefer to do is clicking ptc sites or mails . Also i search from sites which pay for searching. I am already a member in two of them. [hotranger41]
Music is indeed a common thing among all of us who use computers. Good luck with those sites and earnings! [ratyz5]


Yo! Its been a while dude ^^ I'd go with the majority on this one. Looks like most of us like to listen to music while doing something else on the net. As for me, I prefer doing that while I'm reading online manga or posting in my online RPG site, or searching something I need for an assignment or paper. Heck, I can do just about anything and listen to music at the same time. [GenoZyder]
Indeed, quite a long while since the last time I saw you. I haven't noticed myself listening to mucsic while reading those mangas available online. Thanks for taking the time to respond to this discussion happy [ratyz5]


hmm, I also listen to music, check my emails, sometimes streamed and watched anime or movie trailers, reading stories, surfing on the net and downloading some stuff.hehe very multi-tasking eh, XD, I just want to do things I really like to do while I am on my computer. hehe :D [kylie_quistis]
Hehehe, you really try to get the things that you want to be done with when its your time, so it seems happy But, that's a good thing, getting schedules so that you can also arrange your time to do other things and sharing ain't bad either [ratyz5]


I like to listen music too on net.But most of all i join my mylot yuwie and other social networks. [iftikharsumn]
So your very active in such Social Network Sites like the ones you mentioned. happy You also earn from those other sites that your a member of as well? confused Thank you for posting! [ratyz5]


hello,ratyz5, I do many things while here on mylot.like chatting with my friends through the Internet,reading some news that happened recently.and litsening to the music.It's wonderful . [sunying]
FionaSun, welcome to the site! happy [ratyz5]


the thing that i do while i'm on my computer are the following: i play ragnarok online, surfing or browsing the net and responding to some of the discussions here in mylot [rhane7315]
I usually played online games too but, I think I'm just getting old of how repetitive them seem to be in my case.. Thanks for responding! [ratyz5]


i listen some light music ... its my habit i cant work on pc unless music is on .... [mastermindkk]
So in case the audio doesn't work on the PC that you are working on, you'd probably take alternatives like listening to music from a radio or a music player? confused Thanks for responding! [ratyz5]


Yep I do multi tasking but not all the time. but a few windows would be opened. Sometimes when I do the cooking, when the soup or the meat needs to be boiled in low heat for 15 minutes to 1/2 an hour, I would leave it to boil and I would come back to the pc. [eagle_f15]
Yeah, I often do that too since I also have things to do while I'm on the computer. I often suddenly get called to go and do errands and whenever I'm back, probably one of my brothers or sisters have already opened a new window in the computer where they'd be doing their own multi-tasking session. At other times, I just have to take care of my nephews for a while as I'm about to post some responses here, do discussions, or get abruptly interrupted while chatting...lol Thanks for sharing yours [ratyz5]


I listen to music, download videos, documents and music, socialize in other sites as well and I read online newspapers and articles. [excellence7]
Listening to music is something common for all of us who use the computer and very much know more or less how to multi-task. happy I seldom download things from the net. Documentary films for instance when I get to read good or interesting reviews about it. My dad reads online newpapers and I kind'a miss those days when he'd tell me to buy one for him.. we ended up with piles of newpapers and my brother and I packed them up and made a few bucks at the junk shop with it [ratyz5]


Hi there ratyz! yes, I do multi-task. Usually, I am doing mylot while checking e-mails, updating my blog, downloading a game, music, or software and playing neopets too. Sometimes, I also chat in yahoo messenger. [nanayangel]
Good day to you, nanayangel Does your name really imply what I think it does? confused Well anyway, I often do check e-mails and when I read notifications, I go here to myLot and update on my responses. Most of the games my brother downloads takes weeks to be fully complete. Our Instant Messenger for Yahoo isn't working right, I don't know why for some reason. Tried re-installing it but same thing happens. Quite annoying, honestly. doh On your blogs, by any chance, do you earn from it? I mean, I have read some online as well as watched on television shows that some people do earn through blogging, do you?Thanks for participating in this old discussion of mine [ratyz5]


I often listen to music and check out other peoples blog. I also chat with my friends on ym! I love blogging because through that I can express my feelings. I'm also checking out some musice videos on youtube and share it with others. Ciao! [cyrinmalimata]
See that you are getting active with a few posts.. Listening to music is something convenient to do with computers with speakers if not using head sets for solo music trippin'. On blogs, I only get to read blogs from those that I know which are often from notifications sent to my email. I would like to start one myself but, wouldn't mind earning from it too. I have read as well as watched it from television wherein bloggers do earn from their blogs. Feelings or opinions are always nice on blogs. Its been a long while since I last watched a music video from any artist... glare Thanks for participating in this discussion of mine happy [ratyz5]


If I am here in mylot I do my ptc site job, when the times run out I turn again to look at it and start mylotting. [smartinah]
I also do that most of the time during my first few weeks with PTCs.. but, recently, when it comes to earning, I'm just here at myLot and one PTC site that I haven't been able to cash out from. Thanks for participating [ratyz5]


At the moment I am talking to friends on AIM and MSN as well as listening to music on Windows Media Player. I am also getting dressed and planning on typing up some notes for my studies (Economics) while on mylot too. I like to multi-task I feel more productive. I sometimes watch the TV instead of listening to music, but as it is a Sunday and I only have freeview TV there is nothing on. [Elixiress]
Yeah, it does seem to feel like that, being able to do so much all at the same time does grant that feeling of being productive, I agree Thanks for responding! happy [ratyz5]


i check friendster, yahoomail, yuwie, my blogs, youtube, i text, and use ym.. ll these while lying in my bed. [posham]
So yuwie's a social network site wherein you earn.. That's cool. I'll try it out.. not sure though if I'd be active on that since I'm more active here in myLot and completely keep on forgetting my accounts at friendster or even myspace.. I think I also have multiply for some reason.. As long as you are comfortable, it doesn't matter if your using a desktop or a laptop [ratyz5]


i also multi-task...i chat with my family, i also make response here in mylot.. [roanne05]
Family members far away or perhaps your the one whose far away from them? [ratyz5]


While I am on the computer I am also taking care of my 5 month old daughter. I make her bottles and change her diaper when she needs it and she plays beside me in her bouncer or her playpin. She is a very good baby actually. I also listen to music or watch TV when I need a break from MyLot or MySpace. Sometimes I eat while i'm on the computer or finish up some poetry. It all depends on what my mood is. Sometimes my husband takes care of Ally and I just post on MyLot for the majority of the day and don't do anything else. [leatherandlatex]
Mothers are already multi-tasking at home when it comes to keeping the house, preparing a good meal, taking care of the children and so on related to the house, its amazing how you can also fit in computer routines within the already routined responsibility at home [ratyz5]


While surfing on the net, or mylotting, usually I listen to radio. Sometimes, some ideas come to me suddenly, then I can post a discussion immediately. Previously, when doing PTC , I read a book or watching some VCD while waiting for the next PTC. Happy posting. [curious888]
Listening to the radio than on a playlist of songs does stir our ideas that can really be interesting to post here on myLot. Seems that's one of the advantages of what Radios have over music players with no DJs lol I use to do those PTCs but the recent one I was a member of suddenly had its site down. No notification through email was ever given so I think I'll cease with that and just continue here on myLot since I had earned here before compared to those PTCs. But, don't get me wrong, there are still reliable PTC sites out there and my luck just happens to be leading me to those that just suprisingly get odd when I'm about to cash out. Yours might be legit for all we know. Thank you for sharing! [ratyz5]


Well the most common thing i will be doing is chatting or listening to music for sure....and mylotting comes after these two.... [alcazar]
I would be doing the same thing, if only the instant messenger installed on our desktop would function properly. It doesn't help at all and I think its just consuming memory space for our computer but, there are occasions that it would let us log in and get connected, other times, it would just suddenly log us out while in the middle of a conversation with someone doh Music from a self-compiles playlist of random music from a radio? I guess you had those two done, chatting while listening to music, when you were posting on this discussion of mine. rolleyes Thank you for sharing! [ratyz5]


Hi there ratyz5! I often listen to the music while I sit front of the PC. I like reading book for almost every domain. Even whem I read a book, I need listen to the music. When I am in mylot, surely, listen to the music. [intermy]
It seems that music is indispenable for you when you do things on your computer. What type of music do you listen to when you read your books? [ratyz5]


I check email, ptc sites , try to respond to comments that i have made in my lots. Listen to music sometimes but right now I'm listening to the tv news cnn situation room. [twallace]
Would those be in that particular order or all at the same time? I also try and often insist to respond to replied that I get here on myLot or at any other sites that I have joined, as long as I get those notifications through my email. News.. count to think of it, the only ones I get to watch are those early in the morning..lol Thank you for sharing, twallace! [ratyz5]


Usually, I listen to music, surf the web, and write. I used to do my homework while on the computer, but I found it distracting, and my grades were starting to slip up. So now, I finish all of my homework before using the computer. But I still listen to music while doing my homework. [Deceptakhan]
Good decision on finishing up all your homework before leisure Which kind of music gets your homework done? confused [ratyz5]


well...when i am in front of the computer...am usually downloading...orkutting...or on mylot...so wenever i find time....i watch a film...or play songs... i like reading...and m fond of reading ebooks...dun cost a penny !...so usually i read wen am not doing anythng that requires constant attention... [viking_srk]
Downloading more ebooks? I agree, they don't cost us anything. I just wish I can stare long at our monitor especially when the ebook is so interesting to read. My eyes gets hurt often when I read through the monitor and I often read at night which makes it more difficult. Thanks for sharing ^__^ [ratyz5]


I'm surfing the net all day, playing games sometimes, but mostly I'm reading blogs....searching new ideas in the virtual world... [icelandics]
All day? Net surfing and gaming.. and you also read blogs.. seems like its really convenient for you. [ratyz5]


i do multi-tasking jobs like playing online games and watching something from youtube. i play ran online and while playing it watch an episode of a tv series in youtube. i will not be bored doing one stuff if im doing multi-tasking. am i right? i get bored doing the same stuff over and over. [bullyvirgil]
nope, i only have normal computer. you just click alt + tab and you can minimize the whole screen of RAN and you can do anything else besides playing it. [bullyvirgil]


I listen to my fav music and browse other sites while waiting for some pages to load up. I'm running homebase job and extending customer support so most of the time I'm online with my IM and receiving msgs anytime. When I'm not busy, I also play wordgames online, read news articles and regularly check my accounts in other sites. [julietscreations]
I guess that really goes along when you have a homebase job and extending customer support.. since your always have to be on the computer, you really utilize things to help you out along the way. Thank you for sharing! [ratyz5]


usually while im here im also doing another money making site, like a ptc, and sometimes doing it while listening to music also, or while waiting for one site to load up ill check my emails, i multi task [setroc]
I also do those things too but, since this laptop I'm using right now doesn't have some good track in it, I'm not listening to any music.. What kind of music do you listen to so that you'd get motivated to do those things which you multi-task on? Thank you for sharing! happy [ratyz5]


At this moment I am typing on MyLot, smoking, watching Germany get beat by Croatia in football on television, on my PTC site and getting ready to eat. Hows that for multitasking? [shamsta19]

mee too do muti-asks together in front of the computer.now i'm palying computer games while do mylot in intervals. usually i read novels on line at the same time i do mylot.as we know,sometimes it takes a long time to open this site through,so i have to do another thing in case of time waste. [sophialin]
Really? It takes pages from myLot on your computer to load up? Haven't experienced that before... maybe because that your multi-tasking on your computer, its having a hard time? [ratyz5]


I go to the PTC sites too, and sorta configuring my blog about MoneyMaking at Internet. [amberz123]
Blogs.. I might try one of those... Welcome to myLot by the way :) [ratyz5]


i also check my emails as well as my friendster account.but for the past few days, i'm always checking mylot account than my friendster account because my lot is so addictive, don't you find this addictive too? [carrotcake14]
I really find it addictive. I get more active here than on my accounts on any other sites that I have joined. Earning on sides as well gets you motivated, for me that is when I first got my pay here.. already had my third pay out from this site last week... just have to get a bank account where I could transfer these earning to.. We just have to put more quality on my post most of the time. :) Its easy when the topics are interesting enough to have us pouring our opinions out.. then again, I really hate it when after typing a lot of details, and you click on the 'post' and it won't push through so I end up copying the whole post on a notepad before clicking onwards ^__^ [ratyz5]


While surfing the net, I always listen to radio (news or music). From the news, sometimes I catch new ideas for discussion. [curious888]
Up to now, I still can't listen to music while on the net. Though the laptop I'm using is already loaded with songs, it has choppy audio which doesn't make music sound like music at all doh Yeah, watching news on television could really stir opinions which is up-to-date and really intersting for other members here as well [ratyz5]


Ilike more to edit movies when i was sit infront my computer [ghousia111]
You edit your own films or you edit films that you put into certain media storage or simply edit movies? Sorry, I'm not really that knowledgeable with how certain movies or videos are edited... the closest that I had made with editing videos was on cutting them in half to upload them on youtube happy [ratyz5]


multi tasking is good you know but when i am doing something serious then i only do the work and do nothing else. but i leisure time i will listen to music, be on mylot, etc etc [amitavroy]
Serious work, huh? How long does that work take at a typical session? [ratyz5]


Yes I do multi tasking too, while doing myLot. I also open my yahoo messenger and clicking some paid to click site. I also open my friendster account and even chatting with friends. While doing everything I also listening to music in my computer. [mialei23]
Yahoo messenger for me recently keeps on signing me out and often, I can't even log in.. I don't know if its the application itself or the computer that I'm using is acting funny about it. How many PTC sites have you joined? Got payed out from any? I find myself here in myLot than on my friendster account lol Do listen to internet radio by any chance? Thank you for posting! happy [ratyz5]


i do lots of stuuf. i eat, look for paid survey sites, do paid surveys, listen to music. i even watch tv while i'm on the computer! its a little weird but i like doing it [Icyfairy]
Those paid survey sites have registration fees while you sign up? That's not weird, other members here also do it. Our television at home is place elsewhere and away from the computer so I can't really do that happy [ratyz5]
