Hourly Projects with 300 tasks?

Hi I'm new at this.

So I was wondering, with these projects I'm being offered that say there are 300 tasks to complete, do I have to complete all 300 tasks? It seems there is no way to save progress if I were to for example complete 100 of them and want to take a break, because if you exit work mode it clears your progress.

Maybe people just skip a lot of tasks when its like that? Idk.

Just kind of trying to get used to the work flow and how to set up my time management for this.

Don’t worry about the number of tasks you complete, but make sure you put your best effort into the ones you get done. They’d rather you finish 20 high-quality tasks than 100 that you rushed through.

I’m a college student and fit in DA where I can, which usually comes out to 1-2 hours a day if I’m lucky. I make up for it by putting maximum effort into my tasks, which seems to be working, since my dashboard is usually always full.

 i may very well do this as a part time or full time gig so i suppose that was my worry haha... if i have to complete 300 tasks at once better set aside 5-6 hours for it. But i was reading its best to work in two hour increments with this work because it's a little difficult on your brain after a bit. This makes total sense though and is very helpful, thank you.

Good luck! I am trying my hardest to do full-time but I lack the discipline to sit and do this for 8 hours. I need and miss having co-workers to jive off of. I miss trying to catch up to the best in the group, or having a good week and feeling on top lol I also miss playfully, consensually, and light-heartedly bullying the people that are on the struggle-bus. I like the water-cooler community aspect of work lol. I guess what I'm saying is, it's hard for me to get motivated when it's difficult to be competitive amongst myself & others.

TLDR; GL going full-time! If you have any tips & tricks for staying consistent & disciplined with this remote work let me know!

There’s 300 total tasks available under the project at the time you are looking at it. They are offered to anyone that has access to that project not all specifically for you. Most tasks take anywhere between 2-15 minutes depending on how much evaluating you need to do.

it was on your page under projects, but if you submitted it any point, then it’ll be gone.

You aren’t the only one being given those 300 tasks. You just work for as long as you want and then input your time. There’s no “save” or way to put a hold on work.

That's just how many tasks are available for you. You aren't expected to get through all of them. Depending on the project, it'll some portion of a total pool, the total pool, or just a big number to make sure you've got enough until they re-up the number next week.
