I manage things by making sure i am at 100% VP at the beginning of the day.
Meaning 94-96% VP when i go to sleep.

And then i adjust the amount i give in voting for everyone.

My nemisis is in voting for responses.
Because you need to get over 2.1¢ else the vote will be useless.

That can drag my VP down quite quick.

I agree. The only way to fix this is more HIVE POWER
