    Well like most of you when going online I check my email. I multitask so I also have lots of windows open. I open my working stations, facebook, twitter and play games too. I like to do a lot at once when online for I borrow the library internet computers so time is of essence for we are timed when we use the library's internet computers. It's fun to play games too while working online. Having a big desk top to do things makes it easy to navigate while online too. :)

    News! I have bookmarked my favorite news web sites and the first thing I do when I am online is going through the latest news posted. I am not spending too many time on Social Media sites, but occasionally share a post or picture.

    Most recently I have invested in an online investment site where I need to log on every day and do some simple tasks.

    I check of course first all my digital post from all different platforms and reply to my friends or some posts. Than I check my different investment and if I did some money. But mostly I do win and than Im happy and my day is good. When you find the right thing to make money its a really nice experience to look at the different accounts and see how much money I have made. Some times I loose money too, but more than 80% I win and so at the end I make money more than from work. In some years I will stop working and just do that, because its possible to invest in good companies, but you have to know in which one.

    I check my subscription video list on YouTube. I visit news site and read mostly Trump and Putin articles and feel sick after reading that. Then I check for new movies and tv series.

    I go straight to my job sites. I have them in order of importance on my bookmarks bar and start work on the first one right away.

    I still have old files that I'm still transferring from one computer to another, and that's just as important. Having those files on my new computer will help ensure that I get more work in the future.

    First thing I do when I open my computer is go on YouTube. YouTube is the place I spend most of my free time because it's always entertaining to watch videos. I also check Facebook quite often and sometimes even Twitter, but as I said earlier, YouTube is the place where I spend most of my time nowadays.

    When I get online, the first thing I do is log into YouTube and watch videos.

    I believe that YouTube is no doubt one of the most popular websites out there, which makes sense. Why? Just think: as of the end of 2016, 44 videos had gained more than one billion views, and four had surpassed two billion.

    Sometimes, I also use YouTube as a makeshift karaoke place and sing along to my favorite music videos. I did that by installing the YouTube lyrics extension, like Musixmatch.

    Hello Anand Mitra,


    I check my email account. Working as a translator for over 17 years and having jobs assigned through email from three different countries in different time zones made me conscious about checking my inbox immediately after waking up and turning on the computer. Sometimes, I check it through the smartphone, but as I am aging, this is something I do less, preferring a good night sleep other than verifying my account every two minutes. If there is nothing assigned, I surf a little mainly through sites about translation issues, language learning, article writing, history and photography, and spend a considerable time planning my next trip to some place I am considering visiting.

    Just like so many of you, I always check my email first. However, it's not necessarily for "a client." I do look for jobs, and could be getting messages from potential clients, but that is very rare. I also check email first because if I don't stay on top of deleting unwanted emails everyday, my inbox will be overrun in a week or so.

    A lot of you mentioned facebook , but I can see anything important on facebook (messages, notifications, birthdays, etc.) on my email. I normally check email up to 3 times per day, but I only scroll through facebook a maximum of once per day.

    I immediately check my email. Then I gather up all my coupons for the day! Also, I get in the habit of going on YouTube no matter what else I am doing. Works for me though.

Reply Those Needed to Reply. And Then Go To My Facebook. And then To Twitter To Check For my Favorite Celebrities Tweets. Before Any Other Thing.

    Well, I am an online game addict, so whenever I plug in my internet modem on my laptop, the first site I log in to is the online football manager I play to check how my players are doing. Do some training for the team and in some cases, if I am bored, I will play some friendly matches with some other online managers.

    After then, I can log in to Facebook and chat with some amazing friends I have made on the internet, read some local and international news on the newsfeed in order to stay abreast of current happenings around my local community and the world at large. Then, checking other sites can follow.

    It is always a happy me whenever I am on the internet because I do and learn a lot from these various sites.

    The possibilities of things you can do are endless when it comes to the Internet. There should be no reason you should be bored or cannot find anything to do. But it all depend with the purpose why you got the internet in the first place, for me basically i improve my self through internet so that's my first thing when am online i like to find out things and learn how to do staffs. Example: How to cook certain food that i have no idea of from a certain culture or How the world is doing and what is going on in the other side and what not.

    The first thing I do is to check whether I have missed calls, whatsapp messages followed by e-mails, then to other social media.

    Facebook, it has become second nature for me to check my facebook once I go online, as I need to check if I have important messages and other matters that need my attention to. Facebook is such a really helpful tool in one's life as it helped me stay up to date with everything that I care about especially keeping me up to date with my school events.
