Any tips, it's just sooooooooooo busy

    I skip most of the Instagram ones so that cuts it down!
  • I bookmarked the advents that I'm likely to want to enter each day, where possible (again avoiding the IG ones!)

    I don't do Instagram, so that coupled with weeding out ones I'm not interested in or are local things cuts it down to about a dozen, of which maybe half will be offering something I'm interested in each day.  Couple that with a script I wrote that highlights comps I've ticked and fades out ones I've crossed then the whole process is pretty speedy.

    I'm not on social media so every IG, FB, TW/X etc. post is marked skipped.

    Any RS or Gleam comps are also skipped as are any that require the use of apps.

    Any that are only coupon codes rather than prizes behind the doors (for Advent comps) are marked skipped.

    Any comps with prizes I have no interest in or prizes such as energy drinks and other such junk are skipped.

    Any comps that have app "consultations" as prizes are skipped.

    Any comps that offer holidays without flights are skipped.

    Any comps that involve spinning a wheel or playing games are skipped.

    That makes it all much more manageable.  ;)

    Several of those are obvious from the posts, social media etc, but some start with a good prize, then go on to coupon codes and then another good prize at day 15/24.
