<p>The only competition is with yourself. I enjoy reading your comments, [space_monk], and the threads you start generally attract quality answers that I learn from. So find some way to keep at it, please, including throttling back if you find yourself burning out. You can bump along for a while just reading content until you cast your quota of votes (I mainly do that) and still you are contributing to the site.</p>
<p>Maybe you should try to do something like write a tutorial? That could perhaps add a few fringes to your prayer rug that much faster.</p>
<p>I'm going to differ with [choroba] to a small extent: The XP system is indeed artifice, but it is intended to be fun and hence an inducement. When an inducement wanes, it will affect your participation. As a friar upon the path to enlightenment, perhaps you can reinvigorate yourself with something like [http://catb.org/jargon/html/koans.html|meditative koans]. Once you realize that desire for XPs is foolish, then hasten to catch up with your fellow fools. :-)</p>
