Okay, all you card droppers! In everything we do from day to day involves some type of a habit. For me, this includes dropping habits. I'm weird, I have a very specific way that I drop. The use of the EntreCard toolbar aids me in this, so if you don't have one, you really should get one!
First thing in the morning after my coffee, I open 20 tabs of EC blogs from my Inbox. While it is loading, I do 10-15 minutes of housework. When I return to the computer, I read the blogs, make any comments I'm compelled to make and drop my cards - takes me about 10 minutes as many blogs haven't changed their post, so why read it again? Then I load 20 more from my Inbox, leave to do some housework, come back and read, comment and drop. This continues until my Inbox is tackled.
Then I select the next set of 20 from my Favorites list. I again leave to do housework for 10-15 minutes then come back to read, comment and drop. This continues until my favorites are done (and believe me, I have a lot of favorites!)
When the favorites list is done, and here is where I rotate depending upon the day, I will choose either the Art category, the Fashion category, the History category or the All category. Also depending on the day, I will filter them as either Most Popular or Random. For example, after I dropped on my Inbox and Favorites this morning, I then selected the Fashion category and filtered it by Random. I continue on this way until my 300 cards are dropped.
What do I get out of it? I get my 300 cards dropped, I get to read some cool blogs, and I get my housework done all at the same time. This process usually takes me about 2 hours, but you figure I have to do my housework anyway (I can't stand a messy house), and since I get up early, I usually done dropping by 9am - still plenty of time to get up in the studio to do work.
I do need to say that sometimes I do take a day off or a couple days off, especially if I have an appointment that day and my whole schedule will be thrown off.
So, now you know my habits...what are your Entrecard dropping habits?
