Actually, "managing my activity" is just as likely to mean limiting my edits as pumping them. The main thing I can control to insure that I hit 1,000 edits shortly after month-end is the amount of TDI-G&S support work I do over the next 2 weeks.

In any case, this is a one-time opportunity. If, for some reason, I don't win FU this month, it wouldn't be worth it to limit my activity so severely that it would take me a full additional month to hit 1,000.

This idea came pretty much from out of the blue, but what can I say? I'm an accountant. I notice things like that.
