Do you ever catch up?

cheekyvimto

I am never 'caught up' and do miss lots of comps but I get to the point of feeling that I can't be bothered. When comping starts to feel like a chore I know I've had enough! I normally enter just a day before the comp is due to close. I didn't touch dailies or advents at all yesterday and probably won't today either.

I keep them up to date all the time - it takes longer to enter if you don't do it that way so it's easier to keep up to date than it is to be playing catch up all the time (helps that I don't enter masses).

I nearly get there. Right now I am on 176, have got down to the 50s before. Something always comes up though and I don't comp for a few days and found myself about where I am at now. I dream of one day being on top of the board and just hammering the daily comps instead. Not sure I'll ever get there mind.. !

I catch up each day usually and get to page 1. Means i have to do advents at 12-3am ish takes that long to do them. At worst i catch up to around page 7 but usually get to 1. i do a lot through the night though cos work stops me during the day

I am the same - always up to date - and I am very selective too in what I enter

Never.

But with the advents I have done all of December and started on January.

I don't enter for anything and everything, so there's lots of pages with crosses from top to bottom.

Every day at some point I am all caught up.
Works well til I go abroad when I don't do any comps at all, come back to loads missed and takes a day or three to catch up again.

Say I finish at 10.30 pm on Tuesday, when I come back online the next time, I go back to 10.30 pm Tuesday and work towards newly listed.

Also I make the page show 200 comps at a time. Less refreshing and can scan through a lot quicker and red tick loads at a time.

I agree that listing 200 hundred at a time works wonders. It ends up as around 25 pages to be done. Cognitively that seems achievable?

Always start from most recent and work backwards or you will miss some. When I have taken an extended break I come back and do the following workflow:

1) take action on the comps ending within the next 48 hours
2) do those that have been added in the last 24 hours
3) when I have time I binge through them all simply bookmarking, then later sorting them into date order
4) if you are after cashflow through selling unwanted prizes you may not ever be 'done'.. I struggle with what I need and would genuinely like

..but YES I am most days up to date

That has required stopping doing mag dailies which are a huge time and personal data suck. When I was entering those I would only do so once I had caught up anyway.

I usually enter as they are posted and manage to keep up, even with the advents...right up till this Thursday when I was out, haven't been able to catch up since then.
