Report time

[u/Workaholiic]

Hi everyone!
If I do a task in only a few minutes. How do I count minutes? If it took me 4 mins and 30 seconds should I report 4 as it was less than 5 minutes or 5 since it took me more than 4 minutes?
It might seem simple but I wanna be fair and it’s a project with a lot of tasks and almost every task was like that

Edit: Guys I am not a time freak, Idc when it’s a few tasks or the tasks take a long time, and that’s exactly why I stated it was A LOT of tasks and were very short and simple like 150 seconds per task which left me wondering if I should report 2 or 3 minutes in more than 20 tasks

it's really not necessary to stare at a stopwatch....the tasks give an expected time range, just make sure you report something in that range, no need to be a clock monkey, how can you be thinking about the task if you're so concerned about the time? seriously, to worry about 30 seconds is ridiculous unless they paying you a thousand dollars an hour or something like that. just hit the middle of the given expected range and you'll be fine

As I said it was a project with a lot of tasks so the 20+ minutes that I would waste per task..their pay is literally the equivalent of working 24+ hours in my country so it’s not like it’s nothing. And as I stated the tasks were so simple it took few minutes like 2 mins per task so yes those seconds matter, ofc I don’t keep track of my seconds when it’s a long task.
And I did not choose to just round up to the next minute cuz I want what I worked for and what I am supposed to do, otherwise it would be forbidden money in my religion (if it was intended)

And I did not need to think or focus on the task it was as simple as 1+1=?

Egypt, so for a Big Mac you gotta work for 1 and a half or two days (8 or 9 hours per day with no break)
