What advice would you have given yourself?

Question for people who have been comping for more than a year, what advice would you give yourself as a newbie comper now you've got the experience?!

I think for me it would definitely be the, if you don't enjoy it then take a few days off!

Don't enter for any old tat you won't use.

And comp by 'newest thread'. I've comped using various different methods and found it's the easiest. I don't get annoyed by unnecessary bumping

Get yourself into a system that works for you.
In my first few months I had no particular system and just randomly picked stuff I fancied entering from here, there and everywhere on the board, without red crossing many, which meant I was scrolling past comps over and over again and having to reread details. Now I go through each day, crossing everything I don't want to enter and saving everything I do into a folder to come back to when I've time. This is way quicker for me as I enter far more and waste no time scrolling through.
