That has happened to me too. I could be doing something that should take maybe 5 minutes, but it takes me longer than that to finish because I am interrupted for one reason or another.

This usually applies to me when I try to do something automotive related.  Seems like todays cars just don't want to cooperate with simple repairs or maintenance.

i totally agree but i think it would be better if you just focus on it instead of procrastinating or something

Yep. It becomes a ton wof work when everyday a completed offer/survey 'expires' and slowly it decreases my earnings for a paycheck from FusionCash  :angry7: Not good, not good. This not a good penalty to expire my completed surveys everyday. Thats a whole $.02 cents off of my completed earnings every single day:BangHead: It doesn't make any sense  :crybaby2:.

 :BangHead: This usually happens to me when I decide to read the instructions to put something together that really is straight forward and easy. I have learned to just go with my instincts and refer to instructions only in extreme circumstance (ie. having really screwed it up)

Yesm I hate it but usually find out that I'm over complicating things. Sometimes I realize I didn't read the directions even. Luckily this doesn't happen all of the time. Usually just when Im tired.

Each project I decide to take on is pretty much a go with the flow for me. Whatever happens, happens. If it takes longer than expected than I learn from how I sized this one and apply that in future planning. I spend little time being frustrated by anything. I'm the one it takes the toll on so don't go there easily.

Yeah like trying to get connected to the right department on the phone of some company. It should take 5 mins but takes 2 hours. (just happened to me the other day)
