With MSE,Facebook,Dailies and now Advent!

How do you fellow compers going to manage/organize your time and competitions ?

    Ive picked the best and have put them in a handy spreadsheet :) Will add to it as I go along.

    Picked generally off of here and other places.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Rule of thumb, dont enter competitions where there are prizes you dont want to win. It should narrow down the list for you. xx Good luck.
    Wishing you all good luck!

    I'm getting addicted, can't wait for the advent ones to start, I'm guna have a busy month :p

    I comp on and off throughout the day (should really be sticking to my work but you know!!!) & every evening. Some days I enter loads, & others not so many if I don't have time.

    I work full time .... so I've arranged to have some holidays and lieu time back in December :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: aside from that, during December I bookmark non Advent comps that don't end til next year to complete between Christmas & New Year when i have bank hols off work, there's no advents left to do and there's not as many comps being posted (for about a week til they all kick off again lol)

    I start 1st December with a list of all advents I'm interested in entering but that list soon shrinks in size once I've seen what prizes are on offer and decided which I want to try & win :D

  • i will handle it by not sleeping, eating, showering or anything else that i need to do to live

    on christmas day my OH shall have to hand feed me and carry me to the shower while cleaning the settee of my peepee and erm other stuff

    nah seriously you will be fine, when i first started comping i was a bit like AARRRGGGHHHH!!! TOOOOOO MANY COMPS! but i soon got the hang of it

    i come on, do the regular comps thats been posted that day then when its quite (which always happens) i will do the dailies but as of tomorrow it will be the dailies and the advents

    failing that i will do the advents just after mid night before i shut down for the night
  • Thank you guys :)

    I think I will make Advent and Daily comps my priority,then I'll do Facebook and only them forum once.
    And if I won't be able to do them all...Well then just be it! Can't have everything :p

    I've already bookmarked the ones i like so should be easy(ish) :)
    Good Luck Everyone!:beer:

    I bookmark the advent comps that interest me so I remember which ones I want to enter.

    Then any with long dates that I spot I bookmark them to keep till a later date when I have some spare time.

    :D
