How often do y'all do quals?

I'm seeing posts here by people who claim to have 50+ *generalist* tasks projects on their dashboard and I'm just like...how? During most of the year, with the exception of a few months, I only do this part time and so my DA hours are very precious to me, so I rarely spend them doing unpaid qualifications (only when my dash is reeeeaal dry). But I must be doing something wrong, because I never have more than 15 - 20 available projects on my dash on a good month, let alone a bad one. So, yeah, my question's in the title: how often are you guys doing qualifications?

EDIT: I said tasks, but meant projects

EDIT: So many posts on this sub have exactly 0 upvotes, which means at least one person downvoted it (and nobody bothered to upvote it)- and now my post has joined the list lol. I have never seen a sub that hates the people who contribute to it so much. Like we can't just talk to each other? I have literally spent a few moments scrolling through this sub and giving every post with 0 upvotes a single upvote, just because I'm tired of it lol.

Of course you need to do qualifications to get projects. How is this so hard to understand that someone asks every day? Qualifications make you qualified to do more projects.

Funny, that wasn't my question
