You don’t have to use all the features

  • 2 days ago
Humans are nest makers. They’re hoarders. And when it comes to tech and the apps they use. They want to use all its features because they have this idea they’re missing out on something. But that’s oh so wrong!

00:00There's good there's bad there's ugly we all know this right in everything in life in cars in stuff we buy the things we do it is good bad and ugly.
00:12This being a tech channel i'm gonna say in tech is exactly the same there are good apps there are bad apps and there are god damn stupid.
00:21They're ugly apps and all of these apps obviously have features that we want to use now some have a lot more features than others some are very sparse.
00:34Like things three for instance which is just a task management app there is no frills it's a beautiful thing.
00:42And it will just works the apple mac also effectively is the same thing it's quite simple and it just works even though a lot of people want to hack it.
00:52So there are good apps and bad apps but the feature set in each of these apps is what actually makes the difference.
01:02And what I mean is that just because an app has all of these features doesn't mean you actually have to use them so for instance in things three.
01:12I because of the way the app is built personally I don't use tags because it's a feature that just.
01:20I don't need and I don't think you need it in a task management app in that way there are tags you need to use in different apps like notes app for instance some use tags in notes app I don't I prefer to have folders.
01:35So just because of an app has that feature doesn't mean you need to use it actually makes things way more complicated.
01:44And what I find is when when I work with a client and they're using a specific app they get so frustrated because the app isn't working for them.
01:56The thing that the thing that transpires is that they're trying to use every single feature in that app and getting frustrated with it and then saying the app doesn't work.
02:08No stop using the features.
02:10What do you want to do send an email will send the freaking email.
02:13Why do you want to send it later per se.
02:16I mean bad example but even send later in an email app I think is a pain in the butt but it could be used for certain things.
02:24But the idea is just because an app has all of those features don't kick yourself all the time.
02:32Don't kill yourself by trying to use all of those features because you probably don't need them.
02:39So again just because the features are there doesn't mean it doesn't mean you need to use them.
02:46And with that I'll see you in the next one.
02:49Ciao bye.
