How do you track the weeklies?

I decided this week that I needed to up my game and religiously enter the weeklies as I had only been doing them as and when. (Any other ideas of how to up my game also appreciated)

Just wondering how I can track them though, I done half on Monday and only just got chance to do some more but can't remember where I left off and I am sure more have been added etc. any ideas u lovely ppl?

    With Dailies and Weeklies I add them to my Favourites in separate folders (Dailies and Weeklies). I then work through all the Weeklies on each Sunday, deleting them as they reach their end date.
  • That's a great idea!! Thank u xx

    Sorry to be docile (I'm blonde!!:rotfl:) - how do you add them to a favourite folder please? Do you mean you bookmark the page & do it that way or something else?

    As you can tell I am not very computer literate!:eek:

    Hi, I'm using Internet Explorer so may be different if you use a different browser.

    In IE you just click on Favorites at the top of the screen then Add To Favorites. This will add the link to your Favorites that can then be accessed at any time by clicking on the Favorites tab.

    You can create folders within Favorites by clicking on Favorites/Organize Favorites then creating new folders. After that you just click on Favorites and drag links into the appropriate folders.

    Hope that helps.

    In Firefox, it is bookmarking.

  • I've just got organised with this, finally :D Now I'm all set up with Mon-Sun folders to track the weekly comps and get them entered properly :)

    May you all have lots of luck, Emma xx
  • In FF under where the URL (the web address you type in) right click in that blue bit and you can create a folder where you can put in each comp.

    The Folders I have are: Dailies, Dailies 2, Rafflecopters, Weeklies, Mags (ie chat, Now Pick Me up and any other daily mag pages) , Comps 1-8 (I comp by end date and am ahead by 5 days, when I start a new day I stick them in these for quick entry later on)

    I go through my weeklies every Monday.
    Current Aims: Laptop/PC, decent money, holiday
    Best Wins: Ipad, Nintendo 3DS, £400 Shopping Spree at LK Bennett, £100 Boots vouchers
    Total Wins (Since April 2012) £3442.56
    Big thanks to all who post comps :T:beer:

    I have set up a Word document that I call 'Regulars'. As I go through the main comp board, I add regulars to this document as follows.

    Dailies - I have these in end date order. I save the MSE comp title, the link to that MSE competition page, and the actual competition link.

    Magazine Dailies - I save these in end date order, but grouped together for each magazine.

    Weeklies - I usually do these on a Saturday, or soon after.

    I find it easier to make up my own clickable list in one document.
    I am brave, I am bruised
    I am who I'm meant to be
    I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apology
    THIS IS ME!
