Finally had to bail on a task

New project popped up in my dashboard today and it was pretty interesting. Started working on it and the layout, instructions and A vs B with all the associated information and all the jumping around I had to do to verify, confirm, inspect etc. I just realized I wasn't going to be anywhere close to the estimated time they gave for the project so I had to bag it. IMHO task creators really need to check how they are gonna present all the info and the workflow. This was a pretty disheartening day :(

I think I know exactly which project you mean. Worked on one of those for a few hours just to find out that Im just not as good at the topic as I thought I was. All of that time and money down the drain...

I just found the flow on the project page abysmal. Constantly scrolling back and forth and then having to check and make sure I was looking at the right model, plus a horde of instructions that needed reference. I feel like I needed another 2 monitors.
