Please Stop Improving Things Marla Gottschalk

Please Stop Improving Things Marla Gottschalk Photo by Bethany Legg on Unsplash I hate it when people improve things for no apparent reason. Especially, things that really do not need improving. Its much like looking forward to that perfect blend of coffee at your local shop and its been discontinued for something new and exotic. I hate that â€" dont you? (Im sure you have your own list of offenders.) Change for the sake of change, really isnt justified. Sometimes elements truly work well. (Maybe you arent aware of that, but they do.) So, take a moment to reflect upon that. Rest a bit and enjoy your success. It is really alright to be still for just a moment. Disruption has its costs. Its the sanity of your users. If you find you dont have time for that process, because you are so busy changing things, at least be responsible. Ask customers what works for them. You may be completely surprised at what you might hear. I know, Im usually surprised. Its rarely what you expect. So, stop showing off. I already think you are great. You can stop proving it.
