Writing this list was
challenging for me. I had to mentally walk myself through day to day life and attempt
to remember the little things that normally miff me or are an inconvenient to
me. I could not think of all of them in one sitting, so it took me a few days
to identify all of my bugs. After about three days I was able to identify 20.
Hey Gabrielle,
ReplyDeleteGreat list. I enjoyed how descriptive your bugs where, and how they truly identified the problem at hand. Some of my favorites you had are small trashcans, easily stained comforters and quick, healthy fast food. I also agree with your last point. It's tough to do this assignment in one sitting. I also had to get up and think about it for a bit before I did some more. Good job again and keep thinking with an entrepreneurial mindset.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYour list addressed a lot of common issues. I liked your bug wit candles burning to fast and gum losing it flavor, because I can easily relate to those. I also like your issue with phone chargers braking over time because of bending. The same problem can happen apply to headphones. You list was clearly well-thought-out, because you mentioned everyday issues such as problems washing jeans and the issues with cleaning make-up brushes. In general, your list showed a lot of thought.
Hi, Gabrielle!
ReplyDeleteWhile, some of your bugs were very specific, I found a majority of them very relatable. I also found it difficult to think of all of my "bugs" in one sitting. It is great that you took a good amount of time to create a list that is truly reflective of things that bug you.
Overall, you did a great job expressing your "bugs."
