I always stay in my assigned grid for at least a week, and have a die-rolling system to tell me when to move and where. I also have empty patrols sometimes, and that is not to most players' liking.

What I do now is use the assigned grid as an indicator of the area BDU wants me to patrol. DH39 is my latest grid so I stay in that general area, west of Africa and east of Madeira for at least a couple of weeks. If I don't have any luck, I'll go to the closest heavy traffic area, in this case the approaches to Gibraltar.
That is a good way to do it. I like that.
