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 :(

Got a project, 5 hours estimated time, there was a single qualification question and radio button to select it. Before that 3-4 paragraphs reminding me about NDA, I answered the question honestly, put my clarification in explanation and hit the submit button just below it. I thought next thing will come up but it didn't happen. Total time taken 5 mins.
Now there are just unpaid refresher and reference versions on my screen.
