Step-by-Step or Day-by-Day?

Which would you prefer? I'm just being curious.

Step-by-Step means that each step's time period is up to you, so you control everything.

Day-by-Day means that each day you have a pre-determined tasks to complete.

I voted for Day-by-Day.

  • I HATE time-based training.

    I'm usually a fast learner and often already know about the subject.

    I know everyone's different so perhaps offering both is a good idea.

    I MUCH prefer to get everything and blast through it at my normal pace (I speed-read) so it really irritates me having to wait just because someone else wanted to drip feed me.

    • You just need the 'advanced 'day by day' course. Lol. I also speed read, in fact I am dyslexic and am unable to read slow. Manuals kill me. Lol. I am of the 'don't read the directions' kind of guy. Why I much prefer a personal 'mentor' that can keep up with me. A course or mentor that drips at a rate most can follow looses me quickly. (Of course being ADHD, OCD, and having turret's doesn't help either.)
  • I think it depends, if you are going for a newbie course, you might go with the day by day approach. That gives a timespan to do it, without getting too overwhelmed. When you're a bit more advanced step by step is better. You can follow your own pace. It helps me in not getting bored with something, if it's too slow they could loose me in the process

  • I prefer step-by-step; then I can go at my own pace.
  • I'd go with step-by-step. Because sometimes it's hard to accomplish those time based training within the mentioned time frame specially if you are doing it for the first time. It might take some extra time.

    • What I appreciate is when the author includes a bare bones step by step at the end of the training or ebook.

      Too often the "quick start" plan included ends up going into even more detail and pages of explanation. Give the methodology and info needed and then at the end add a short list of the steps without further explanation - the user can print it out and use it easily that way.

      EDIT: I should add my reasoning for this. Like Andy, I'm a very fast reader - I may skip or skim portions of an ebook or course because I know the info. Yet the method may be one I want to try so just having the final list is useful to me.
  • I would prefer step-by-step too.
    However, since everyone's attention span is limited, day-by-day training would have a better effect on learning as it forces them to finish everything in a short timeframe.

    • The experience I have with my clients is that they 'prefer' step by step but they NEED day by day (or at least a time scale).

      They say things like "I want to go at my own pace" but most of the time they hardly every progress if it is left up to them.

      I try to pin them down to a time scale and see a huge difference as they progress much quicker, achieve more and are less likely to give up discouraged because of lack of sales.

  • This is interesting, people actually like to follow step-by-step stuffs.

    What if the seller offers day-by-day AND step-by-step? Would that be even better?

    P.S I didn't vote.
  • I am more of a day by day kind of person, I am not especially technical and walls of text tend to confuse...

    Once I am at an advanced stage I blaze ahead.
  • Newcomer should do it step by step. Old dogs could do it day by day.
  • I prefer step by step and it works for me :-)

    If I already have an idea: Day-by-Day is ok.

    If I have no idea at all: Step-by-Step is the only available option.

  • I prefer a step by step training
    or a day by day training where I have instant
    access to all the material, so I can skip days

    I am a fast learner and I don't have a problem
    freeing up time to do the tasks.
