I prefer to write about meaningful topics but sometimes, just sometimes, I feel the need to vent.
Group chats.
Aren’t they the worst!
Yes, they save lots of time, can be fun and can make you feel freakin’ popular when you turn on your wifi and realise you have 173583826 unread messages.
However, when it comes down to creating a plan and actually following it, they are a real struggle.
Here are three problems I have with making a plan on group chats:
1. Off topic
There’s always one or two who are on a mission to talk about anything BUT the original topic. Annoyingly, those topics are usually more interesting and a week later you forget why the group chat was made in the first place.
2. Indecisiveness
In person there’s usually a leader who makes the first and final decision of the group plan, and the other members happily nod their heads to that ‘group decision’. However, online, we all have the power. Everyone throws around their contradictory ideas and insist on them, and eventually every idea gets cancelled out.
3. Zzzzzzz zzzzzzz
It’s nice to feel popular but even better, to get sleep, to be able to do work without distractions, not having to waste time reading all those unread messages and not wanting to scream and throw your phone at the wall.
Rant over.
Sorry about that. 😄
