    I have followed this advice and it has served me well. I even venture out to other sites (gasp) and clean up my surveys I have pending, etc..

    Yep.

    When I'm feeling productive, I usually write scripts on the weekends or watch programming videos.

    But I'm not feeling productive at all right now, and so I've just been amusing myself.

    See?

    Look at how much impact that had because of how succinct it was. :)

    Quick weekend TODO list:

    • Do a quick-scan clean (delete redundant/outdated scripts/browser extensions/pandas)
    • Backup everything (protect your current average PE first & foremost)
    • Assess where you are: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/12612-hit-database-analytics
    • Plan/goal for where you want to be this week/month
    • Figure out how to get there (need to learn JS? AHK? How PREs work? Unfamiliar with the new worker website?)
    That's just for mTurk. Obviously you can do 100 things to increase your overall online earnings that are outside the scope of a 2min TODO list.

    Sat/Sun are also good days to ask/start discussion on poignant questions you have surrounding the platform. Some of us are crack addicts who are here on the weekend and can/will give better answers than when we see a question thrown out during the week but its competing with the fire batch that just dropped. Like this post, which I probably wouldn't take the time to write on a Monday lol.

    Same time for me.. We buy for a lot of people.. so I shop all year, put the items on the shelf, do my Christmas cards, in the mail the day after Thanksgiving and Wrap all the gifts to take with us when we go home for Thanksgiving. (saves on shipping) And I have a December 1st deadline so I can then really enjoy the festivities of the Holidays without being rushed around. When my kids were little I would get 24 books and movies in a basket and we would count down that way. I kinda miss the small babies I used to have. My teenage son "I just want money" My college daughter, "I will spend some time with you, but then I am flying to see my boyfriend and his family." sigh

    My FF says in the green box IF YOU CANNOT SEE THIS IMAGE PLEASE RETURN THE HIT.
    My Chrome just has the empty green box.

    Does anybody have suggetions on how to farm quals? I feel I need to concentrate on these this time and I'd appreciate any tips. Seems like scanning the Qual db manually is a bit... low-return.
