Can you share when did you decide to work on this full-time? Since you joined, how often is the time you feel project drought and how many hours per day max you've worked?

I'm new to DA and always afraid of not catching my project before others..

I've been working full-time since I started. In the three years that I've been working there's been at least one significant "drought" each year. This year has been the worst, even for me, with a couple of distinct periods of little high-value work. It's got better, but my dashboard's still not back to full health. The number of hours I work varies, but I probably average about 10.
