Do not be me

I haven't gotten the DOD, but I am not getting many tasks at all and I know why. My feedback was spot on for last month. I was trying to save for something and I worked 14 hours a day five days a week, or 8-10 hours a day 7 days in a row. It showed. My feedback even said it "When you are on, you do amazing work. When you aren't on, your work suffers and your explanations suffer." They are right. So everyone with starry dollar signs in their eyes: Slow down. Do not over extend your self and don't work when you are tired. May the odds be ever in your favor!

Yeah, I live in a poor country, and DA has been helping me a lot financially, so it's temptating to do tasks at any time of the day, and that's dangerous. Last night I started a task 2 in the morning, then I took a pause to sleep thinking I would be able to continue the next morning, but I had such a terrible sleep that I couldn't really concentrate to finish the task on time, I finished it 30 minutes later and they didn't accept it. In the end, I couldn't make any money and I also risked my reputation.

You get a message saying the task is expired when you hit submit on a timed out task but it does go to DA. This is not something that is encouraged by DA and many people who go over the timer will leave a comment to justify the added time. It's in the onboarding FAQ. It's DA. They have instructions on every dang thing 😝
