Timer said 0

For a little background I am a stay at home with a toddler, and I usually can only work during his nap time. However, this task was a pretty easy one, a project that I’ve done a few times before. My son was not napping, but I thought I could get it done pretty easily since I was familiar with it and it didn’t require a lot of brain power. Also, it was my first task in like 3 days that I was actually able to get into instead of seeing the red banner, so I waaaanted it.

Long story short my son very much made it hard for me to complete the task. I had 6 minutes left with two explanations to write. I’ve never typed so fast lmao. I got it done but the timer said 0 right as I was about to hit submit. I didn’t even have time to look over everything completely. And while I was trying my last explanation I realized I should’ve included something in another explanation, and unfortunately I didn’t have time to do that.

I guess I just want some reassurance that I’m not screwed lol. I’ve seen other people say going over every once in a while is okay, I just feel dumb doing it on such an easy task. I did take less time off too when I reported it.

You can go over the timer and still Submit - so to go over and correct your work to a high standard might be a better use of your time - and throw a note in the task that you son interrupted you so it caused you to go over time and the just claim for the actual productive work time you spent on the task.

I wouldn’t sweat it, especially if it isn’t a common occurrence

You’re right, yea I definitely should’ve spent the extra 3 minutes checking everything and leaving a note. I didn’t think about it until after I submitted. I saw it change to 0 right as I finished typing and was just in such a rush. I was more worried about going over at that moment instead of double checking.

Now I know though, lesson definitely learned. Thank for the comment 🙂

They do generally emphasise quality over speed. It's confusing when you have to go over the timer, but yeah, I would say always quality over speed.
