Today, I messed around with the Reeder Davis thing. It’s actually pretty interesting, let me tell you all about it.
So, I started by looking up what this Reeder Davis is all about. I found out that there are some ways to sort of prioritize things, like ICE and AIDA. ICE, it’s all about impact, confidence, and ease. AIDA, on the other hand, stands for attention, interest, desire, and action. They say ICE helps you not to just go with your gut feelings. I guess that’s good. And AIDA is like a plan to get to your buyers.
First off, I tried to use the ICE method. I had this bunch of tasks I needed to do. I started listing them all out, trying to figure out which ones were most important. Then I tried to give them scores, based on how much impact they’d have, how confident I was about them, and how easy they were to do.
- Impact: I thought about how much each task would actually help me out.
- Confidence: This was about how sure I was that the task would work out.
- Ease: And this was just how simple it was to get the task done.
After scoring them, I added up the scores. The higher the score, the more important the task, supposedly. It was a bit of a hassle, to be honest, trying to put numbers on these things. But I went through with it.
Next, I moved on to AIDA. This felt more like planning a sales pitch or something. I had to think about how to grab attention, then keep the interest going, build up some desire, and finally get to the action part.
- Attention: I figured I needed to start with something catchy.
- Interest: Then I had to keep things interesting, you know, not let people get bored.
- Desire: This was about making people want what I was offering.
- Action: And finally, getting them to actually do something.
I tried to apply this to a couple of scenarios. Like, if I wanted to get more people to read my blog, how would I use AIDA? It was kind of fun, but also a bit confusing. I had to think a lot about what people might want and how to present it to them.
The Outcome
In the end, I realized that these methods, ICE and AIDA, they have their uses. Like, ICE could be good for sorting out your to-do list, especially if you’ve got a lot on your plate. AIDA, it seems more useful for marketing or sales stuff. I’m not sure how much I’ll use them in my daily life, but it was definitely interesting to try them out. They make you think a bit more about what you’re doing and why. I guess that’s always a good thing.
Oh, and I didn’t use any fancy examples or anything. Just my regular, everyday stuff. I think that’s the best way to see if something actually works, right? In your real life, not in some made-up scenario.
