Ashamed to admit this, but I have way too many Daily Games.

Does anyone have any tips on how to lighten the load on my Daily Games?
I have over 100 going as of right now, with over 50, sometimes even 70, waiting for my move at any given time. For some people, that’s a lot. And for others, that’s nothing. Personally, having this much to do has really started to stress me out.
Aside from friends, I rarely start any new Daily Games, but I’m desperately trying to finish as many as I can to lighten the load. I have started resigning hopelessly lost games as well. I join a lot of Daily No-Vacation tournaments, and I often forget about them until weeks later when said tournaments actually start and continue to overload me even more.
I am fully aware that this is a problem that I have created for myself, and I intend to - and have - refrained from creating new games or joining new tournaments until my game count needs a boost again. That day feels like it’s getting farther and farther away, though.
Does anyone have any tips for how to lighten the load, considering I can’t use vacation time? Preferably with as little rating loss as possible.
Please note that I’m not talking about finding good moves in said games, I just can’t take the constant load anymore. My method is just to continue playing and know that there’s a light at the end of this tunnel, and that as long as I don’t accept more games, I’ll slowly get back to a realistic level.
Alternatively, I could attempt to find a way to just handle this many Daily Games, I know many people do it, and I admire those people. I think I just need a short break for now, though.
And to prevent people from telling me to just resign all the games, I’d prefer to do this in a way that hurts my rating as little as possible. I do, however, resign games that are hopelessly lost.

What for did you start so many games then? Yes, it’s challenging situation.

Do what you're doing. Maybe offer draws in some of them. Keep in mind that the stress is going to make you lose games and elo. That should be enough incentive to slim down your game load.

One day I played 20-25 games. It was already a lot. And I did not take any other games or tournaments.

I've never played in a FIDE tournament

Personally, I don’t think it’s worth having that many games, so continue playing moves and not starting games.

Here’s a tip: use the notes feature to remember what you were planning to do in a game.
The problem with having so many games is you’ll start treating positions like one-off puzzles, not continuous games.
Notes help with carrying out plans without reinventing them every move.

you can definitely offer draws as long as there is no elo lost for it

I know what you mean because I made the mistake of starting a lot of 24 hour games without realising how much time is needed after the opening. I bit off more than I could chew and it's all I could think about.

I learned to only play games of at least 72 hours a move so there is always a buffer of a few days. The game appearing in red because it's minus 24 hours is also stressful to see.

My advice is to pay most attention to your 24h games and try to make moves when the opponent is also online which should speed it up and effectively makes a daily game a live game because you're both on-line and making moves in real time. The fewer 24h games you have running the more the pressure will ease.

For me 30-40 is good. But they're all minimum 5 days/move games….

I had 1200 in one account. Barely maintained a 1200 daily rating because of the. stress lmao

Right now, you need to prioritize what games are the most important and focus on those games. Your 24hr games are likely going to be the top priority followed by any games that you've got going in a tournament.

Spending some time on utilizing the notes feature can save time later on because you won't have to evaluate each position when you come back to it. If you have your plans laid out before hand, you will spend less time on each successive move.

Try to offer draws in any games that look equal or seem boring. Check out your opponents profile and see how many games they've got. You might be able to lighten your load of games by seeking draws or looking to kill the position in those games.

You may want to consider loosening your requirements to resigning a game. I'm not saying resign all of them but you should consider those that are close to being lost. There is no point in protecting a worthless rating when you are feeling burnt out and overwhelmed. Also, you might be better off in the long run cutting back your work load and stop treating daily games as a never-ending blitz marathon.

Last, mainly for the future, try and track how much time you spend on a move and per day on daily games. Gain an idea of how much time you spend how and look for ways to cut back your work load through less games and/or playing longer time controls. Use a spreadsheet program or something to track future tournaments and how many games you will be playing that event. Use that when you are tempted to start a new game or new event.

Thank you! I will definitely take all of these tips into consideration.

I can empathise because I used to have so many 24 hour games running that I would wake up every day depressed thinking about how I needed to make so many moves that day. I used to pride myself on always taking as long as every move needs which could be 20 minutes or more but changes of circumstances made daily play more difficult and sometimes impossible and with no vacation remaining it would lead to a flurry of timeouts which is something I've always tried to avoid. The mental stress aspect was definitely a factor and made me realise how much attention a 24 game needs. Tournaments are great for competing against serious players and getting experience of end games but 24 hours per move can be problematic if you have an emergency or moving house and not being able to sit at a desk for a few hours. The requirement of logging in every day to make moves can become stressful and overwhelming.
