How do you play catch up?

I have managed to stay caught up but likely will fall behind next weekend since my youngest son has a gymnastics competition out of town. And since I can't take my big computer with me there will be no time for scrapping while gone. I will likely be 3 behind by the 26th of the month. YIKES! Hopefully I can at least check in on the website and find out what the challenges are and start planning my pages in advance!! Thanks for that great idea!!
 
good luck on your driver test Lynn!

I am only behind one and have today's to do. However I was behind three the other day and I was just in the mood to scrap and got them done. I also took what I thought would be the easiest one and started there, which inspired the next one. The one I am behind on is the scraplift one as well :)
 
I am one full week behind and I am really trying to catch up :run
I was sick, my child was sick, and now I'm trying to catch up at work and on layouts. Yesterday I did three and now I'll do one or two pages a day until I'm caught. Hopefully I don't run out of month first!
 
I'm pretty close to on schedule, but when I've gotten behind, I do the simplest layout possible for the challenge. I also don't try to make each layout award winning. Good luck, Lynn. Sounds like you have a full plate now with the puke patrol!
 
I'm only one behind today but started off 10 days behind. I keep all the challenges open in browser tabs so I can hop back and forth between them. I also always have Photoshop open on my computer, I use it everyday, even if it's just pulling a template up I know I want to use.

Keeping everything open keeps it "in the front of my mind" so that if I'm busy everything's already open if I have a minute to play and I'm not wasting time loading things or finding challenges! :thumbsups

Sometimes I do have hours to work on things (like this weekend my kids are visiting family!) but even if I just have a couple minutes, I can work a little at a time on my pages :yesss
 
I seem to be addicted to MOC, I can't go to bed unless the layout is finished so I'm on schedule. I've even still been awake when a new challenge has been posted before 11 pm my time and have gotten done a day early (I know, doesn't make sense). Since I'm one of those scrappers hoping secretly in my heart to get the permanent Polly spot, I feel like I HAVE to put out my best so I can be considered (hope, hope, hope - fingers crossed). It's a great motivator.

Oh ... as a former school teacher, I know what an important job the school bus driver is. You will be the start of the school day for each of your charges and they carry that bus ride into the classroom and it is with them the whole day. The kids at my school LOVED the bus driver because she genuinely loved the kids. Good luck... I know you will do well.

I am 2 layouts behind... I was 6 behind at one point! What helps me is a list and a plan of action. Tackling easier ones first. I am totally stumped with the quick page though! Have no plan for that - God knows where that will end up! Lol :)

Good luck with your exam - hope u pass with flying colours :)
 
Well, I'm new to this site and just found the challenge, so I'm 17 days behind, Am going to see if I can catch up this week.
 
When I got behind, it was because of one challenge so I finally pushed ahead and did all I needed to catch-up... since my creative juices were flowing I was able to complete the challenge that was holding me back too.
 
I'm a week behind! Hoping I can get caught up this week...we'll see. My problem is I can play with one page forever!
 
I'm 10 challenges behind now but I usually binge scrap so I scrap 5-6 in an afternoon or evening so I am not desperate just yet! :giggle
 
I was 5 behind... then I was 8 behind... now I'm 6 behind. As of right now I am missing #8, #11, #13, #15, #17, and #18.

I have my idea for #11 - so going to work on that next.
#13 (Scraplift) is the bane of my existence - so I need to get that one done ASAP.
#15 - Just going to have to do a page and throw some ribbons or strings on it and call it good.
#17 - I could just do a page about this post! LOL
#18 - Not sure if I have photo(s) for this one... going to dig deep!

I have to do day #22 and #20
last year was a mess, I did too much pages in the last days so this time I was more "organized" (sort of)
I have 2 supporters: my boyfriend and my mum check on me every day, very helpful (have you done the page today? sit down and scrap :) )

as I work all day, I plan to do more pages in the week-end than during the week.

you can do it!!!
