Advice on dealing with channel congestion tends to split in two: impossibly complex, or sold as one click. Reality sits between. It needs some patience and some design, but no talent and no shopping list. The sections below go in order; start where you are stuck.

If you only read one paragraph, read this: dealing with channel congestion depends on how the situation is set up, not on how you feel at the time. Arrange the situation, then let repetition work.

Where dealing with channel congestion Breaks Down

Sixth trap: ignoring recovery. dealing with channel congestion needs rhythm, not a constant maximum. The crash after a hard stretch is usually a scheduling problem misread as a character problem.

Seventh trap: treating dealing with channel congestion as a project. Projects end; habits do not. Anyone starting with 'once this stretch is over' usually does stop when the stretch ends.
