I have found a way to handle the recent MyTona changes to visiting. My way isn't for everyone and won't solve all the problems, but it's working better for me than my old way.

There are three different things that happen when visiting a friend: (1) You receive a visiting reward, (2) You charge their locations, and (3) you can gift using their WL.

I used to do all three at the same time. I now split them up, doing each activity separately.

(1) In the morning, I visit my friends to get the visiting reward. I swear that is still resetting at midnight. So I basically just rush through my first 25 friends and grab those rewards.

(2) I now keep track of when I start charging my friends' locations. The next day, as close to that time as possible (without being before), I start charging locations. I do that as quickly as I can. I do that for 100 friends, including sleepers, so I can help my active friends and get all the charging rewards and rep points possible.

(3) I no longer gift while visiting. Instead, I use the "Friends' wishes" tab. I'm beginning to like gifting from that tab even better than while visiting because it omits those who have nothing in their WL, helping me better see those who do have things in their WL; plus, it shows me the number of any specific CI someone is requesting. I really like this for sending multiple CIs to others. No more checking to see how many I have! Plus, I can quickly see other things on my friends' WLs, such as premium and free fixers with numbers of my quantity next to the premium fixers.

By separating these tasks, I am finding it much easier to stay on track. I'm sure there will be a time when I will not be able to charge locations on my "designated time," but when that happens, I'll just skip a day and start over.

I am also finding that getting my 25 visiting rewards does not affect my ability to charge locations. I can get my visiting rewards at 1pm and then charge the locations for those same friends at 7pm.
