How do you manage time to enter sweepstakes?

[laganesante]

Hi everyone, last week was a good week for me! I've been sweeping for almost two months already and I finally won a few things the last couple of weeks. I'm a little bit worried because I tried to enter all the sweepstakes I can and I feel I don't have enough time. I work 45 hours a week and the only time I have to sweep it's in the evening and weekends. Lately I feel I do it too much, I can spend three to five hours in the evening and more than that during the weekends. I can't do that anymore. I think I will set two hours a day maximum! How do you control that? Or is it only me? thanks for any advice! I will appreciate it!

sweeping should be fun! I used to spend tons of time entering all I could. I feel I have gotten smarter and more selective (I mean, do I REALLY need that box of nailpolish?) I love my instants, so do them, then expiring sweep and select dailies. Key is to pick the prices you really want to win! I skip now often some of the tedius magazine, where you have to watch video ect just my 2 cents

As a PLUS member, you can spend a little up front time to save time daily!

1st step - prioritize. Figure out what you *must* enter as often as rules allow {I'd put all daily/IW here}, and create a category for those. Then all you'll have to do is open that category then SweepsPop them & use RoboForm/form filler of choice to quickly enter.

2nd step, create a category for those you would also like to enter, time allowing. Repeat as above when time allows.

3d step - odd entries. For weekly/monthly/etc. Again, putting sweeps in a category YOU devise will help you with time management & ensure you don't miss out!

When I first started I went a little crazy too. I'm still relatively new I guess, but I have a nice little routine where I set at the computer for an hour or so every morning. I check my email, drink some coffee, and enter any sweeps I want. I skip the magazine ones, anything that wants me to watch a video, and anything with prizes I don't want.

You are totally right, I need to enter for only the things I really want to win! I already spent two days without sweeping! :O It was difficult but my bf was like: We need to spend time without electronics! I guess I'm going to focus in what I really want to win and not that box of nail polish

Thank you so much! You are awesome, so helpful and kind as I have seen in others posts! I will take advantage of being a SP Member! I will give time for everything without overdoing sweepstakes!
I've been having problems with my laptop that's kind of slow now but I guess that would be another post!

Thanks for replying! And for understand what I'm going through. From now on I think I will skip blogs because I feel they take a lot of time, I never do any Creative Presentations because I read the odds are really low. Have fun sweeping! And a lot of wins

While it's not so easy to get caught up {if you are like me, I advise setting aside a big block of time} once you do, I find it's easy to check daily by going to a specific category {IW's} and sorting by DATE ADDED & C&P'ing Entry Date into find - then I only have to look at those I haven't already checked off. Takes only minutes & works best for catching late adds - especially if you've missed a few days

I've been trying to do Dailies and IW's daily Mon-Fri. I only have like a 120. And the weekends I do 1 Entry, FB & Pinterest. I gave up doing blogs (it takes a lot of time and I have to open more tabs to have extra entries, some blogs are also really slooow!)

Hopefully I will win this way! I already won 9 things that are worth around $150 all! Just in two months. I'm happy because I never won something before

Thanks for everything! Have a nice time sweeping!
