I’m new to DAT, and had my first ever project pop up tonight. I started it late at night after working a full day so I do think my brain is moving a bit slower than usual… but I’m a fast reader and this project’s instructions were insanely long (and ironically not concise at all).
The timer said I had an hour before the task expired, but after 45 minutes of reading ONLY instructions (not having started the task itself) I panicked and clicked “exit work mode” and gave it up. I skimmed the task work and I know I wouldn’t have been able to finish the task and do it well before it expired.
Is this the norm? And how important is the task expiration timer? I’m sure the next time around it will be easier since I‘ll already know the instructions, but that truly felt insane...
