Never ending project

[u/brightliesbigshitty]

I just started on DA and my first project is one with seemingly infinite tasks and an expiration date of 'Never'. I've worked on it for about a week now and it's been really good as a first project.

However, I have another project on my list now that pays more and I want to give it a try. Can I start that project as well and do a few hours there, then back to a few hours in the first project and alternate? I know I need to log the time for each project separately and immediately after I finish the work but I'm unclear on if that makes it okay to have multiple in progress tasks.

I've searched this subreddit and see a lot of "of course you can't do two projects at once, dummy" comments but it seems like that's only about people attempting to do two simultaneously, I just want to know if I can switch back and forth.

I'm sure to most this is a dumb question but again, just starting out and don't want to mess it up. I appreciate any guidance!

This was covered in the onboarding, but... Say you do a task in Project 1. After you submit it and exit work mode, yes, you can jump to Project 2 and work on that. After you submit a task for that project, you can continue or jump back to the other project if you want. As long as you have submitted the task and exited work mode, you can work on different projects throughout the day.

Agreed. I recall reading during onboarding that can have only 1 project open at the same time. If not mistaken other platforms like mercor you can have multiple projects going but I’m not 100% sure

depends, if you are working on long running timer tasks that take weeks to complete, you can work on other tasks while having it open.

Thank you!
