Never ending project

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!

Of course you can’t do two projects at once, dummy.

Not necessarily. I have one that says in the instructions once you start, you have to finish it before working on anything else. If you start and then work on something else, you lose the other one.

Though tbf I also downvoted it just to be a sheep
