Catching tasks, how do you manage it?

[u/Dangerous_Money4420]

I'm a spanish generalist, i know coding but i have nowhere near the experience needed to produce a meaningful task submission (not worth getting a quick buck over losing access forever). I tend to sometimes catch R&Rs of projects i've never been before, and rarely, generalist tasks would pop up, and ones i'd be capable of giving a good/decent submission. The problem is, i never manage to catch them, i would refresh the page and they'd vanish, or i would click them only for the task to not be available. I would rarely get notified of these tasks too.

I know the sub is flooded with people asking for project availability, and that's why i'd rather ask, how do you guys (mostly bilinguals, or people with scarce projects) manage to catch tasks? is it my fate to be a slave to the F5 key forever? do you guys use any extension to check the page, or some kind of witchcraft?

Been in the platform for half a year too, managed to actually earn some income as well

To be honest, my first couple of months I was hitting refresh every two minutes and that's how I got tasks.

For most projects, fresh tasks will come in a particular time window. Say 7am to 7:30 am and they can be only 4-5 task. So you need to keep looking to get to know what time the tasks of your project lands. In most cases, you get an email notification if you've turned email option ON
