How terrible is this blog post title: How to Trick Your Partner into Using Todoist - Ambition & Balance? How about you be a mature adult and show your partner the benefits and ask them to make an honest effort at using it with you?

@jeredb I saw it and vowed not to read such an article. I get that this was to shock people into paying attention but the implication is terrible. Manipulating your partner, yup. Sounds like a healthy relationship 🙄

@ChrisJWilson, you’re right, I know it is to be attention grabbing and SEO friendly, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that was in poor taste.

@jeredb Do you also see these kind of posts and think "this is probably just being sensational and over the top, and it might actually be useful but I refuse to read it because I don't want to encourage that kind of headline writing."

@jeredb It's actually meant to be tongue-in-cheek. For example:

In fact, one study found that 100% of people who share to-do lists with their partners are in a relationship.

or:

Blame can thus be properly apportioned, and everyone lives happily ever after. Right?

I understand the initial negative reaction, but it even has a GIF of Leslie Knope!

@devilgate Fair enough. I wasn't in the right headspace to have that in my email this morning.
