I listen to music, and occasionally read during my games.

I do homework with my kids. Write and read a lot of e- mails. Talk on the phone. Radio is on. Feed the dog. Clean the kitchen. Read the dailies. Make lunch. Create and send a few faxes. Edit shorts features. Talk to my neighbor. This is a very real question. I believe you can do anything while playing chess online. Anything!

Do you do all that at once? If you didi, it would be incredible.

I think. Game 30 is blitz; I am likely to think for 15 minutes straight.

I am usually working and check online to see if it's my move yet. If I'm at home and happen to be on chess.com I'm usually spending time with family or watching television. Right now, watching a movie and waiting. I would like to just sit and quietly, intensely concentrate. That is what I love about chess the most.

My hobby is writing so usually I write, edit or browse magazine sites for submissions guidelines.  At the moment I'm editing a novel.  Either that or generally waste time browsing music sites!  I also think I'd play a lot better if I just concentrated on the game.  I'm just too impatient.

I do homework or help kids with their homework, I also play games on pogo.com, talk to hubby on MSN Messanger, chat to tha kiddos & inlaws, cook supper, clean, do laundry, play with the dog. and OCCASIONALLY I will sit on my bed and watch a movie =]  Hmm maybe thats why I dont win much  do to much at once, but thats ok I cant sit still to play a game of chess I have to use my multi-tasking skills  hehe

for some reason it takes like two minutes just to check out another game.  its so annoying i have no choice but to do other things.

I am self employed, so I am able to shuttle between a few games which I have going, and my work. It probably affects my productivity, and if I were any kind of a manager I would fire myself, but chess.com is the most pleasant form of procrastination available.

Mostly I'm at work whilst playing, so I flip between work and playing. Don't you just love ALT TAB!!! But when I'm home i usually wait untill the kids are in bed and the misses is studying for her masters then i have a quick go! Life is busy, but chess is my meditation.
