Project "Toruk" will not be here permanent (I think), it's more like the off-road turn for fun & entertainment, for the coming Holiday season (enough of that COVID !)
I did realise that already, meaning, not permanent :) Its how we roll here. From time to time we make adjustments. Cool you're doing that, since as you started your post: Even though you like something, when its in repeat mode, the task itself can become boring (I still very much appreciate the old fashion factory worker...that must be so hard to do the same task all the long, year in year out).
I still need to do much reading
Reading... I would suggest to start scanning. For sure those posts of users you kinda know. New user post may require a little more attention at first. But scanning less work. And when done kinda like speed reading style, the time spend on a post can be much less. Sure, this will result in some posts not grabbing your attention, but you cant continue to spend 10 hours a day curating. At one point in time this will worn you out and you may drop everything.
be confident I have not overlooked the more valuable targets
Thats the thing. I had exactly that 'force' with me, but fortunately I left that behind, for the most part. A super post can be missed on day, always a chance to catch the next one. No user is entitle to get any fat vote, if that user gets demotivated after 1 or a few good posts. In my view, you dont have to give your votes to the best posts each single day. But would be super cool over time you can reward those users and posts that give value to the community. So please dont be too hard on yourself and only feel confident enough by a round of curation when believe you hit the top x posts for curation. Its not an issue to miss some cool posts. In the end you'll get to know these users since the chances increases over time you'll notice posts from that user and can give some votes when you found them. If notice some post from a user that is somehow ok, new user to me, I look in the history of posts....when I see a better one that qualifies for a cool vote, I either give it to that post in history or a smaller vote to the lower quality one and encourage the user through a comment to up the game again :)
Only 2 days have passed. Will have some clear outcomes after a week or two.
Time will tell indeed :)
