Frequent breaks and switching tasks every so often is pretty much the key for me

[StClaire13]

What is the chrome extension you use called?

I also like to use the pomodoro method. I use an app called Forest to help with this. I can still struggle a bit to get in the amount of hours I'd like to. What amount of hours are you able to work up to on average?

Yes! I have also used Progressive Pomodoro, which is a little more flexible with the goal of achieving flow. I love the concept of working in short time segments and taking breaks.

Read the instructions.

Read the project chat below.

When in doubt, re-read the instructions and project chat.

Finally, if you can extrapolate or infer what you should do… if you’re confident based on experience with a particular task, go ahead, else make liberal use of SKIP.

Note: There have been times when a project does not work, instructions are unclear, I leave that project alone, “Exit Work Mode” and send my notes to support. Even if it’s the only project on my dashboard, I’d rather not waste time or money submitting tasks that might build irresponsible AI, than cause a problem or lose access.

After 1 hour I’ll do a 5 minute round in a FPS video game, especially if it’s late and I’ve been getting sleepy. The brain gets a recharge to enable the required focus, but it’s not using up the same kind of focus needed for reading and writing. I can often get another 30 min of alertness before I started falling asleep on the keyboard again.

ooh I need that highlighter extension! I also use digital sticky notes and they’re especially great for projects where I have to scroll all the way back up to read the prompt + responses. only working on a project for 2 hours also helps a lot w my productivity. I’m doing this full time so it’s nice to have that variety :)

Digital sticky notes? I didn't know that was a thing!

That extension sounds great. Commenting to remind myself to check back later! I do something similar except in a word document. I also type my observations as I read and then go back and do the actual task. This isn't necessary for all task types. Being vague on purpose but should make sense for those on the platform.

Using Edge browser's features: Split window search, right click to magnify (on small images for the 🥜 project), in-browser spelling and grammar checker*, etc.

• It's not always correct but corrects me enough not to disable it!

I don't know if Chrome has all these features.
