In looking for a good TO-DO App I decided to try CLICKUP which got good reviews, I went through the hoops to get it set up and then BAM— here’s a video for you to watch to see how this works.
Ugh.
I don’t like watching videos. Or I should say I don’t like being FORCED to watch videos. For a long time I thought I had a mental deficiency (and I realize about half of you are saying ‘no duh’ right now) when it came to videos but it turns out I’m not alone. Here’s a thread on a message board to show that many other people feel the same way.
In doing further research it appears this dislike is because of a lack of control. There are certain people whose personality makes them pushback against being told what to do, and apparently having someone ask you to watch a video feels too much like that.
Now the video above is 90 seconds, so I’ll probably be able to get through that, but I can’t help that my first reaction upon a video being offered to me causes me to want to opt out of the app altogether.
This might be the same reason AUDIBLE and I don’t get along. I’ve signed up for AUDIBLE more times than I can remember because I read a lot of books and I have a lot of time either in the car or walking the dog and it makes sense to fill that down time with books I want to read, but then the narrator starts reading me the book and I just zone out. I LOVE reading but I HATE being read to. Wow, I don’t know how I get along so well with myself.
