This is what I do when I farm awards... The info is somewhat old, but it works for me... It is straight from the TT101 thread:

RECHARGING DESKTOP AWARDS: Nets you Energy for continuous game playing, dropping  collection items, getting more strength for visiting. NOTE original post says best to turn off WiFi while doing this procedure, I did this initially, but I forgot since I have not been playing the game and did it with WiFi on recently and was okay - but may be best to start with WiFi off.... If you have any of your 6 desktop awards sparkling  - collect the rewards from those items. Turn WiFi off# FIRST ITERATION ONLY Going backwards in time:  Starting where you left off in number 9 above - no need to open dove again#Minimize Game
 * 1) Click your Dove award - window will pop up showing you how much time is left until you can collect the award again (AKATimers hereforward) LEAVE THAT SMALL WINDOW OPEN (on FIRST iteration only for steps 2-8 below)
 * 2) Minimize Game
 * 3) Change Date back one week (Start small with one week - you can do months later)
 * 4) Return to game (Timers window will still show the same amount of time as in step 2 - counting down) - LEAVE WINDOW OPEN
 * 5) Minimize Game
 * 6) Change Date forward ONE DAY
 * 7) Return to game (might get blue splash screen (Play now) and the Magic Crystal day screen (click okay))
 * 8) NOTE: The Timer Window now says Award is ready - click Okay
 * 9) All awards are now sparkling and you can collect them all
 * 10)  ALL SUBSEQUENT ITERATIONS Moving forward to CURRENT DATE: 
 * 1) Change Date forward ONE DAY
 * 2) Return to game (might get blue splash screen (Play now) and the Magic Crystal day screen (click okay))
 * 3) All awards are now sparkling and you can collect them all
 * 4) END on CURRENT DATE
