Something that helps for me (though not enough judging from the number
of part-time entries<grin>) is to set very short-term goals.
For example, if I have 367 QSOs, my goal is 400. Once I have 400 QSOs,
I notice I have 48 mults. My goal becomes 50 mults. Once I have 50
mults, I notice my raw score is 78,223; my goal becomes 80,000 points.
By the time I have 80,000 points, I might have 471 QSOs, so the goal
becomes 500. I keep pushing for the next even number -- there's always
an achievable goal hanging in front of me. Until with two hours to go,
the goal becomes simply to stay awake until the end of the
contest<grin>!
