I keep forgetting about my online games!

Even though chess.com alerts me about the games, I always forget about them and I have timed out 90% of them or something like this. I have the very deflated rating of 1100 on online. How can I stop forgetting about the games? I always say to myself that I'm gonna make the move next hour or so until I time out. I play 3 day/move chess. I think I'm gonna give it up. Maybe I don't have the patience to play correspondence chess.

You could set a longer time for the moves so, you would check chess.com and still have time left.

I log in here everyday but I always delay moving for some reason (laziness?!) but I also thought  that longer time, like 5 days/move should help. Thx for the response.

This is what you call "Procrastination". I do it myself! Laughing

I don't know how many correspondance games you are playing at the moment, but I think the best way is, to make at least one move in all your games per day.

Longer time settings don't really help if you delay the moves on purpose.

I lose focus completely on correspondence games and so I mostly do live games now in order to focus better. Perhaps that would help? Unless, of course, you don't have the time of interest in that.

Wait until you have 111 minutes left! It helps! Not!

It's stress, isn't it? You just made me laugh. Thanks!
