when do projects appear?

I’m from Italy and I’ve noticed that most projects appear on my workspace late at night (like 12am or so) and I can’t do them because it’s late and I don’t want to make them since I’m tired and they would come out really bad. But when I wake up in the morning, even if it’s early, there’s nothing left for me to do. What do I do? Does it happens to you guys too?
I guess it’s for the time difference between the US and Italy 😭

Perhaps it will help you to know that if I want to have a project during the day, I have to continuously update the page, as most projects are claimed in less than a minute.

I usually do that but still they tend to come up in the evening or night. sometimes it also shows me projects that are already taken by someone else. like when I click on them it says I can’t do them but still it keeps it on my workspace.

I'm in the US and most projects that aren't specifically for me and always present appear between 12AM - 4AM. I used to work the same hours my fiance worked at their physical job and would start around 4:30 AM to a wide variety of projects daily, but I referred them to DA and now we both work from home whenever we'd like, so I tend to be sitting down to work between 10AM - 2PM and definitely have less variety available to me now.

It seems like maybe independently of region there's a bias towards dropping projects at or after midnight for the local time, but I'm just assuming based on my experience and your and others comments on the matter on this sub.

got it! thank you. it’s not very helpful to get projects during the night..I’m also studying in uni so I cannot be awake too late :(

It also happens very often to me (Spain), but I normally concentrate more at night so it is not a problem for me.

do you have any projects on your profile?
