When I have to sit at a desk, I simply don't get off. The YLF tab is always open. I have to forcibly hold myself back after flooding the board, so not every message has me as the last poster hour after hour. I make long, tortured posts. Angie &amp; Greg, I believe, sit there wondering why I'm always logged in, why I don't get some lunch.</p> <p>When I'm at home, tho, I feel guilty. Because I could actually go a whole day without posting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1599215 Wed, 06 Jan 2016 18:22:29 +0000 Helena 1599215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone!! I am glad I am not alone I suppose there are worse things to spend too much time on!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598956 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 19:56:25 +0000 Anonymous 1598956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm like you, feast or famine. Right now, I'm in feast mode.<br />Work, kids, household chores, and exercising are really my only limits.<br />Computer availability as well, since contributing from my phone is pretty difficult. Sorry no help! But know that you're not alone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598855 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 15:04:22 +0000 Anonymous 1598855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dont have a formula/time management system for YLF at all. I work from home with my sewing business and my laptop lives next to my sewing machine. Depending on how busy I am, any time of the day is fair game for browsing the forum. However sometimes I'm just not in the mood. It doesnt rule my life....much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598850 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 14:57:07 +0000 Colette 1598850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When you figure this out please let me know. I'm also trying to find a balance. Right now I just fit it in when I can so my participations is spotty. One thing I've noticed is that I reach for my iPad more and TV less and less because I find YLF much more interesting and rewarding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598792 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 09:37:55 +0000 Style Fan 1598792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read Angie's blog in the morning with my coffee.&nbsp; I check the forum but restrict myself to 10 minutes or so because I have to start my day.&nbsp; I may go back to the forum later in the day but not always.&nbsp; I rarely post WIWs because it takes so much time to get DH to take the photo, load it, write up the post, etc.<br />I would like to be more involved in the forum and post more of my own WIWs because I enjoy the interaction of the members.&nbsp; I need to find a way to do that and still do all that I do.<br />We don't watch TV and I never buy fashion magazines since I discovered the internet fashion sites (YLF and a select few).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598727 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 04:25:59 +0000 Cerinda 1598727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read Angie's blog and skim the forum with my morning coffee but don't allow myself to dig in until the workday is over. &nbsp;Yeah, sometimes dinner and rest of the evening get off to a very slow start ;)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598725 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 04:25:21 +0000 Carla 1598725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check blog in the am with my coffee. Check forum during the commute home in the pm. Maybe an hour in the late pm after the workout. Weekends I take (lots of) breaks from household chores...</p> <p>I rarely watch TV, and since I started following YLF and a handful of other sites, and playing around in Pinterest, my magazine consumption is way down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598669 Tue, 05 Jan 2016 02:19:56 +0000 anne 1598669@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not well!! Always ready to read others' wisdom on this topic!</p> <p>What does&nbsp;constrain me; lack of time, lack of phone texting ability, hopeless phone connectivity and&nbsp;a fairly low threshold for viewing images. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598607 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 21:17:11 +0000 Lyn D. 1598607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another morning cuppa reader here- 30 mins or so every morning </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598605 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 21:12:37 +0000 Alassë 1598605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read the daily blog post, then catch up on threads for an hour (if there are a lot of interesting ones) or 20 minutes (if few). Then I can take a break for a day if I want to let interesting threads pile up, or check daily and expect some days to be 20 minute ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598569 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 18:12:11 +0000 kkards 1598569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i generally like to read angie's blog with my coffee in the morning, and check out a few forum posts....if there's something interesting, i'll try to check back in on my phone as I walk into work (but I generally don't have time to actually sign in or post). then YLF is my lunch time treat. if I have time, I try to sneak a peak in the afternoon, but usually &nbsp;its just enough time to look.&nbsp;my co-workers seem to limit my time by continuing to ask me questions or stopping by wanting answers---sometimes its just annoying how they eat into my YLF time (LOL)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598552 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 16:47:14 +0000 Anonymous 1598552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a reward system going.&nbsp; I work for an hour, then jump on YLF for a break.&nbsp; Then, back to work for awhile, and so on.&nbsp; As long as the work is getting done, I don't worry about my frequent YLFing too much.&nbsp; But yes, Angie needs to post a warning that it's addictive, right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598544 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 16:11:06 +0000 Summer 1598544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I check in while having my morning coffee break. &nbsp;This usually extends to about half an hour - in theory, of course! &nbsp;Some days it's impossible to tear myself away from a particularly interesting or pertinent thread. &nbsp;Also, I will sometimes pop back in during the day or evening - as I'm doing right now! &nbsp;I do try to set strict time limits, though, or nothing else gets done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-you-manage-your-forum-time#post-1598520 Mon, 04 Jan 2016 15:00:50 +0000 Helena 1598520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, how does everyone manage their forum time? I'm a bit feast or famine with it ... I'm either sucked into checking every 10 minutes, or else I stay far, far away!</p> <p>Need to find a good balance so that I am being a good contributor without getting too off-track with real-life things haha!</p> <p>Any and all suggestions welcome! </p>
