Gosh does everyone get frazzled at the end of the month?

Beginning to feel like I need to go outside and take the air :wave:

Yes - currently traipsing through the 30/06 and losing the will to live a bit!

Nope, cos I don't end date - I enter the comps in the order they're posted, when I take a few days off I work backwards from the last one I entered, in order to catch up. x

I do a modified end dating, but make sure I enter 12 month end comps every day, which means I red cross about another 20. That means I've cleared most of the month end before it comes

Nope, it's just one of the many reasons not to enter by end date.

The non-end date approach is best - unfortunately, if you fall behind it's very hard to get back onto that train, very hard (unless you just accept missing a chunk and start from the point you are re-starting.).




I planned this month to do each end date but also do a chunk of the end of month ones each day. Did it about 5 days but no more than that. Must be more dedicated to that next month.

It is tricky to not end date if you don't have the luxury of having a lot of time to comp. I generally just avoid a lot of the comps if there's 30 pages of them, I'm generally pretty picky in the ones I enter anyway, but if I'm end dating at the end of the month I'll generally only enter the really good / easy comps.

The best way to catch up is to not enter any of the dailies / C2W's for a few days.

I usually mostly do 'new comps', then go through by the next day end date to grab any I might have missed. I leave Twitter ones for the day they're closing - although my Twitter wins have run dry at the moment so I might aim for a different strategy!

I've read a few times that it's best to leave Twitter till late on, but generally Twitter comps don't run that long anyway.

Yeah it's all about the time you have. Wish I had time to even consider the dailies/C2Ws...

Don't miss the six with 31/06 end dates
