I agree, as well – I prefer a text version. I can read faster than you can speak, so watching a video takes longer. I’m much more likely to put off watching a video to another time, whereas, with a print answer, I’m more likely to read it right away.

We have this same problem at work….video is taking over everywhere, making it much harder to skim for key information and curate out key info to save. Stop the madness!!

I see that someone said there is a transcript, but it’s not obvious to me (on Windows Chrome) where it is. It’s also not very accessible to only have video – what about someone who is deaf? I expect better from CrucialSkills.

Agree that the written format is preferable. Not going to get the earphones out of the cabinet, click, etc. Why not publish both if others perfer video.

Agreed – I have a work function that requires that I have an audio program running near constantly, I am not going to shut it down to play the blog as interesting and helpful as I might find the info. Some organizations provide both the video and a transcript – would encourage VS to do the same.

In reply to Jeff Grigg.

Giving it more thought, I realized that I and others I know usually have a separate tracking system for scheduled items — a calendar. Some people use a conventional wall calendar; I use a DayTimer. DayRunners are also popular.

So, in addition to keeping one standard list of “TO DO” items, I’ve found it also helpful to keep one unified calendar of scheduled events — by date and time.

In reply to Christy McGregor. I agree! I don't have the time or the wherewithal to watch a video.

In reply to Lori Testani. I agree--was excited to scan and pick out some jewels, but that is not possible in the video format, so I am just moving on. Maybe combine the video with a link to transcript version?

My heart sank when I saw the video. I’d much rather read text. I can read it more quickly and I think I retain more of the information. I’ll probably end up not watching many of the videos.

I must agree with many of the comments. I am unable to hear the reply because of the work area I am. The written response worked much better in my environment.
