I came across this on the Valucre blog and I think it's a great tip for the SARP as well:

 
+1.

But part of keeping yourself restored is to not overcommit (a problem of mine). GMs should focus on one plot, two max, and learn to withhold themselves from posting elsewhere (which I haven't). Otherwise, everything you do is subpar and you'll always feel like shit (which I do, ho ho ho).
 
This is very true. Very, very true. Have a minimum standard for yourself. When you post, understand exactly what /needs/ to be responded too.

1: Respond to people talking to you somehow. Acknowledge them so they know they are being acknowledged and try to do so nicely. Don't want them to feel ignored.
2: Make sure you have some actions in your post. Some form of thought. Something more than a flat responce. It really doesn't have to be much.

Edtoto growled at Hasewega as she was pulled back rather violently. once stopped, she pushed her away and spun around looking annoyed. "What the hell was that for?!" She snapped, tail snapping in her sudden mood.

That was a mock up post to Heartbreaker based on the current situation. Everyone knows what's going on though, and it's enough to keep everything moving.

Edtoto was mildly unaware of the shouts she heard from the team, a tinge of bloodlust starting to get to her. Suddenly, she felt someones arms wrap around her and her body get pulled back violently causing her to give out a loud snarl. Once she managed to get free, she spun around and snapped her teeth. "What the hell was that for?!" She yelled, her tail snapping behind her in her mood.

Now people know why. Three lines, ad everyone can move forward even if you aren't feeling up too it!
