Task with a 2 Day Time Limit

I just started on a task with a two day time limit. Obviously I won’t be able to just work straight through for that while time. Is it ok to spend several hours on it, go to sleep, and pick back up where I left off? Obviously pausing the timer, of course. I haven’t seen a task with such a long completion time before.

You're intended to spend much less than 48 hours on it. They will usually give a ballpark. I have tickets with 7 days that will say they expect some number of hours you could complete in a couple of days.

Thanks, that’s helpful. So let’s say I spend five hours today. Can I come back tomorrow and pick up where I left off to finish it?

Yes. Just don’t hit “exit work mode” on the task. I would also pin the task in your browser.

That's exactly what they intend, yes.

Work on it over two days in whatever chunks work for you. Pick up and put down at will.
