When do you have time for YLF

I am just curious. I live in different time zone than most of the forum, and it seems to me that the forum is most active when I am at work or sleeping. When do you usually have time to participate in the forum? I do refresh YLF page on my phone throughout the day, but don’t usually have opportunity to read or comment until when I am relaxing after dinner, which is usually after 7PM my time. How about you? What time are you the most active?

Morning (central USA time zone though I’m a southern neighbor)

Anytime I want to distract myself or take a break from work ... which can be often!

I go in cycles, I hadn’t been on YLf for a while, for a multitude of reasons. But I’m getting back into it as my desire to focus on wardrobe fires up again.

I frequently intend just to glance at it when I wake up, then realize that an hour has gone by! When I intend to do it is those in-between times throughout the day when I just have a few minutes, or evenings if I’m too brain dead for serious reading. I tend to give over my evenings to it far too often. No offense intended to anyone here, I think we all have priorities.

Mornings while I drink my coffee. Sometimes I comment on the forum and sometimes I just read a few posts. I have been limiting my time on the computer lately because my neck injury has flared up. I will check in during the evenings if I have the opportunity.

5-10 minutes every two-four hours, 24-hours a day. Lol. But I sit for a half hour at the start and the end of my day to do online stuff.

Glance at it throughout the day, but struggle to find time to write much unless I have an unexpectedly free time. Cycling to work cuts out commuting reading, which I do in winter.
The forum is pretty quiet from about 3pm to 8pm our time here, which corresponds to the middle of the night in the US.
Eta. In response to Fashiontern's question. GMT+8

Mostly in the morning with my tea or coffee and later at night. I read Angie's blog first then try to respond on a few forum threads.

Could people post their time zones with responses, or how many hours they are off GReenwich Mean Time (which now has a new name I forget), please? I’m GMT+1

Eta I looked up the obfuscational name. It is UCT: Universal Coordinated Time. Berlin’s time zone is UCT +1, because it’s one hour later here than it is in some nowheresville that is the universal standard, and certainly has no relationship to imperial anything

I generally check in over morning coffee (like right now), but my deeper interaction generally happens at night while DH is watching something that doesn't interest me on Netflix

I am in the eastern part of the US (Pennsylvania) and normally get on my laptop after lunch (around 2pm EST) for about an hour for personal stuff like YLF. Today, Saturday I got on at 9 am as I have been getting up an hour earlier since we moved the clocks back and hour and find that I have a little bit of extra time this morning.

It is the thing I do when I get on the train, weekday mornings and evenings, on my lengthy commute. Then at the weekend at my desk, kind of tea time ish! UK time.

US EST here. When im dawdling over my coffee, then check back at 7 when Angie puts up her post, and if its slow at work (or am procrastinating paperwork). Sometimes will pop in after i get home at night too. Much more pleasant than reading the news!

North American Central Time here . I go through a short on-line routine which includes YLF every morning while eating breakfast and having coffee at my desk . I read the blog post every day but don’t comment if I have nothing to contribute . I’ll look through the posts and see if there’s anything I want to get involved in , and then I usually check back in later in the day if I am not working , and especially if I’m involved in a specific discussion .

I would have a similar pattern to Lisa. Sometimes I check in during the day - not so often in the evening.

NZT or UCT + 12 (mostly depending on daylight saving)

I am in GMT+1, same as FashIntern. I tried to understand patterns and dynamics of the forum. I noticed some activity in my morning time from EU forum members but also some Australians too. Then it gets quite until after lunch, but most of the activity it seems to happen late at night while I am sleeping. Blog post is published exactly during my lunch break and if I am having lunch at my desk I try to comment. Noticed that many of you are active in the morning, but for me mornings are the most stressful part of the day, when I try to get me and my daughter ready and on the way on time.

Like you, at night after getting home from work. This means that I am online usually as Angie makes her morning Blog post!

Well I get up really early as I like to have plenty of time to get ready, so I always read ylf over morning coffee. Then I usually check back sometime in the evening. For some reason I tend to post wiws on either a Thursday or Friday.
I don’t watch or read the news. If it’s important I hear about it through word of mouth. Other than that I just watch movies sometimes. My main “veg-out time” entertainment is ylf or browsing at online shopping.
