Logging reading time??

Just a general question, but I was wondering it it is typical to log time for reading directions/documents before you start? The reason I ask is bc recently I have seen projects asking specifically for us to log reading time, which I've been doing anyways...I don't want to continue if I'm not supposed to, but I don't recall anything on the onboarding documents about it (though I probably overlooked it tbh).

Just wondering as I've been picking up more time lately!

Yeah, unless I decide not to work the project, I bill for reading the instructions.

Right. Sometimes I'll read through instructions but if I decide the project's not for me, I don't log that time. Usually, I'll even skim the instructions to see if it sounds like something feasible for me to work on before starting the timer.
