How to keep everything organised all in one easy way!
Here's my tip for being organised
It sound a little complicated but it works for me and is actually very easy.
Whenever I see a competition I want to enter on the forum I print it out, and so on
I have manilla folders titled: Phone, Web, Mail, Email, Shop - and I sort my printed sheets into the folder that they belong in.
I then go through each folder and highlight the important details, eg close date, things to purchase, etc.
With the Mail folder, they are mostly 25 wol. I write my answers next to the competition details, and when I have entered the comp I tick next to the
comp info also - I do this bit for all comps.
I have a file with the months written on it so I can then put all the competitions that close in a certain month there, eg if a comp closes 27/10 I
put it in the October file.
This way I know where to find my entry, 25 wol answer, details inc value, and the person who posted it so I can thank them and send a U2U.
I clean out the folders about every 4-6 months (depending on how long prizes take to arrive) and for any comps that I have won - I put the comp info
with the Congratulations letter.
I hope this has made sense! |

Good Lord!!
My God nicolejane...and my husband has the nerve to call me anal!
I'm jealous of your ingenuity and dedication, but I must admit, that since joing premium, it's actually a little easier to keep on top of
things...but I love your style girl!
My you win lots and BIG!
love susan x |

Your a darling
Thanks for the hints. I'm working towards getting my own secretary and when I do she can do it. (I wish) I think I will give it a go though, it
makes so much sense and I'm so unorganised.
Best of luck. :sing: |

I know I probably sound obsessed and yes a bit anal, but if I didn't have it organised like this I'd have piles of stuff everywhere and be
totally un-organised.
At least this way I remember to enter comps and can easily find the info if I need it. |

What a fantastic idea! I'm sure I'd probably win a lot more if I was organised like this so you have inspired me to get myself organised and
hopefully start winning a lot more, especially as I'll have no excuse for missing a comp! Thanks!!! |

Thanks for sharing your brilliant system, nicolejane. If you saw my "system" you would probably faint, as it consists of barcodes and entry
forms scattered everywhere, and lots of comps I forget to enter. This sounds like it would work well for me. I'll give it a try, and see you in
the winner's circle. |

Talk about organised. If I want to enter a comp I just make it a favourite in the Lottos list and work from the top down each day.
Perhaps I need to get more organised. |

I'm disorganised also.. I have yellow sticky notes with what I need to purchase and by when on my desk, and envelopes with sticky notes on with
the 25 wol question I need to answer write the closing date in pencil where the stamp goes...these are on the other side of the desk!
Although being disorganised I do miss a lot......I should get organised... |

I have only been doing this for a few weeks but this is what is working for me so far.
My time at the shops is absolutely precious/frantic having twin babies and a four year old.
So, to be organised I jot the info on store/product comps into a little book I keep in my bag. I have a few pages for each store - Woolies, Coles,
Kmart, BigW etc. and one where you can buy the product from anywhere.
I make sure I include the closing date and if a form is needed.
With 25wols I cut and paste the closing date, web address, and the question from the lotto post into a WORD document (one for each month) and write up
the answer where I can check the spelling and do a word count.
I change the font to red when I have entered the competition and move the paragraph to the end of the document so that the ones I need to work on are
at the top of the document. This works well and I have a record of what I wrote – just in case I ever win…. |
