What is the Best Point Task?

[Grape 677]

Out of the four big boy point tasks, welfare, graphics, podcasts, and media spots, which is the easiest? Obviously it’s welfare, as it’s legit two button clicks, but for each click you lose 1 TPE, so you only get 4 TPE instead of the 6 from the other three. So, out of the three real point tasks, which is the easiest? In my opinion, graphics are the hardest. Now, I’m not very artistically inclined, and although quality doesn’t have to be superb, my attempts are pretty awful so I never end up posting them. They require the highest level of effort, and usually take the longest to complete. Podcasts are probably the second hardest, but it’s more of a mental thing than actual effort. A lot of people, me included, hate the sound of their own voice, so you kinda gotta hope you can knock it out in one try, or else you’re gonna have to listen to yourself to edit out the mistake, or start over. I’ve done a good bit of podcast claims, and found myself rambling a bit to try and reach the required time period. Sometimes I put in the effort to make it actually good, sometimes not so much. In my opinion, the easiest, most bang for your buck, point task is the media spots. It does require some effort and thought, but it requires the least amount of skill to pump out. It does take some time, but most people are used to writing useless blobs of words anyways, so it should almost come naturally for most. Of course, if you don’t have the time, or lack the motivation to do anything (I’m really lazy), there’s an easy 4 TPE waiting for you.

Agreed on media spots for sure. Most reasonably literate people can fill up 500 words a lot faster than they think.

 

Of course, other factors can come into play--really good sig-makers can knock one out in no time, and someone who speaks English as a second language may find it a bit more difficult to write (I'm by no means fluent in Spanish, but I'm decent enough and slow as hell when writing in it). And then there are people who find it easy to just talk about things--I don't get it but more power to you.

Great now I'm wondering if I'm illiterate.
