C'mon Fess Up, How many times a day do you check in at ylf.com?

shana

I'll go first - I'm here at least once a day, sometimes 2 or 3 times. But I go through phases where I am logged out but checking in compulsively - like several times an hour. Oh and if I have a deadline to meet - like a paper to write or a project to complete, it might be gazillion times!! Other times, I feel like I have to step away completely for awhile (especially if I'm on a shopping ban!).

Same here Shana. Usually in the morning and evening. Before I had a part-time job outside of my home, and worked all day on the computer translating (with loads of deadlines): allllll the time, one needs to take mini-breaks regularly, right;-)

Another similar case: during the weekdays, in the morning and evening. During weekends I usually do not bother to log out

If I were to venture a guess... about a million times.

I think I'm most red-faced when I read a new blog post by Angie, THEN re-fresh my email and get a "blog update" email from YLF. Heh.

I try to pretend that never happens.

More than a dozen, easily. My job can be hectic, but it also has a lot of slow patches. When at work I log in read I read the first blog post of the day, then stay that way. Sometimes I get to refresh often, other times not so much. When I get home I log in again when I read the second post of the day, and the routine repeats itself in the evening. :p

Oh dear must I admit! If my computer is on then YLF is in one of the open tabs. I watch the telly through windows media centre and have been know to minimise the programme during the adverts to check in. I do have a life honestly!!! x

I haven't checked it in a while and then, like today, I've checked it several times! It's funny - I have never met any of you in person and I don't post outfits often, but I miss y'all when I don't check in! You ladies are such an inspiration. : )

As if I keep track. Seriously.

I'm here a lot less during the week. Usually logged in from work but I can only check a couple of times a day. Weekends are a different story. I'm not going to pretend I have a life.

I like to check in throughout the day and follow the forum, some days more than others. I have way too much time on my hands!

I usually read via Google reader during downtime at work. While I am at work I usually don't click on the links. I check in the evening too. Weekends vary, because they are usually busy, but this weekend I am stuck at home a lot.

Blog entries I get via RSS.

I check the forum bazillions of times a day, along with about 5-6 other forums I'm active on.

I always log on in the early AM and if I am in my office I usually check in a couple times a day. I do take care that no one sees what I am looking at..I try to downplay how fashion obsessed I really am.

A million bazillion times per day, especially on my Blackberry. I have even been known to check YLF while driving... yes, horribly dangerous, but I'm obsessed.

Some days I don't have time to check at all, some days I'm in and out all day!

Every chance I get:)

As much as I can, although at work it's often open but as a second or third window.

Lol, all our dirty secrets are coming out...

My usual online habit when I get to work is:
- Work remote desktop
- Gmail
- Facebook
- YLF Blog for the latest post (always uber excited when there's pictures!)
- YLF Forum - where I do a quick scan of WIWs and comment if I get a chance, open up any posts that really grab me etc. To be honest I shy away from posts with lots and lots of comments unless I have time because it takes too long to read them all
- Often stay logged in for most of the day

Weekends I am usually really busy so I am away from the forum.

A. Lot. Lets just leave it at that.

Then there are the middle-of-the-night check-ins. Visiting when the Australian members are online sweetens my current bouts of insomnia.

For me, it differs radically depending on the time of year. During the school year, I check in probably twice a day, skipping some days when things are hectic. During the summer vacation, I'm here more often. Much, *much* more often.

That's as specific as I'd care to be.

Anonymous

A lot. It's what I do when taking a break!

Well, I believe there is a consensus - a gazillion times a day!

I was curious because a good friend of mine has just gone on an internet ban. Why, why, why I asked and she said that she felt she was spending too much time online and wanted to focus on other areas of her life. I go through phases in terms of how much time I spend online and I admit that sometimes I feel like it's excessive or worry that I am neglecting my kids ("go make your own lunch, I'm busy on ylf! Who cares if you're just two???). Anyway, I've been thinking of different scenarios to try & limit my online time in general - maybe just have three blocks of time per day??? Sometimes I get sucked in and and hour (or two) seem to pass by in no time at all!

It varies for me but work has been a little slow lately so I've had more time and I find I check in quite often. On the weekends I don't check but probably once or twice. Just depends.

biscuitsmom

No comment-lol! really I check several times a day, usually....

Beth

The same as April (surprise, surprise!) During the school year, I'll check in during the evenings only, keeping a tab open while I do other things on my computer.

During the summer when I'm feeling lazy/it's too hot to work outside/I'm trying to avoid a project, I can be in and out quite a bit.

Yes I agree with the majority - a gazillion is pretty accurate, rounded up to the nearest bazillion.
