Winning Contests
radmoose says:
While I live an active life with a constantly changing list, I do find pleasure in entering contests and of course, winning things. Some of my friends are surprised at how often I do win things. Until now, I haven't exposed my "secret" tool to do so. Yup RTM.
Most contests have a timeframe in which you can enter, such as once per day or per week. When I get a new contest I add it to RTM include the time frame in the recurring section as well as the URL then tag it with "contest." Adding the URL for the contest entry is a timesaver as I don't have to deal with bookmarks or hunting down an email with the information.
I then setup a Smart List for the contest tag. In just a few minutes per day, I go thru my list while I have some downtime throughout the day and enter the contests. I don't have to worry as I can access RTM from just about anywhere and get my entries in easily and quickly. This is a productive way to get those things done that will fit in during those moments while you have a minute or two free. When I hit complete, it automatically is scheduled to remind me the next time I can enter.
I have won food, movie tickets, software, toys, DVDs... lots of things without losing my focus on getting the important things done.

Awesome! Thanks!
This isn't the only thing I won this week because of RTM. I also won a book that I was interested in reading.
I also appreciate all the Tips & Tricks that show up on the site. It gives me ideas on how to utilize RTM in ways that I had not thought of. It is going to be great to be carrying the power of RTM in my Android phone instead of just on my desktop.
Thanks again!
