Post by: articx on January 03, 2012, 10:14:24 am: 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.

Post by: fc2 on January 12, 2012, 07:02:53 am: 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:.

Post by: GramPolly3 on January 12, 2012, 08:38:12 am: :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)

Post by: lucky382001 on January 12, 2012, 12:44:57 pm: 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.

Post by: ptfunds on January 12, 2012, 03:23:33 pm: 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.
