Why Report Writing Sucks

Whoever came up with the idea that people should write reports must have had a diabolic agenda against humanity. There is something about writing and reading reports that goes against our being as humans. You see, reports are supposed to be the documents that prove something happened. They are a recollection, or an analysis of events already experienced, sometimes with the hope of learning something new. In other words, reports are monkish in nature, yet only a handful people can handle monkhood. Here are two reasons why report writing sucks

Reason #1: The Past Sucks

First, reports are well, reports. They document the past. No one makes reports about the future, yet that is where we are all headed. If you struggle with writing reports, there is a chance that your crime is your commitment to the future. You instinctively want to move forward, but you find yourself forced to spend hours in contemplation poring over data and trying to extract meaning from them. The stronger your “lets move on” instinct is, the higher the chances that report writing will suck for you.

Reason #2: Writing Sucks

Then there’s the second point, the “writing” part. Did you know that in the past being a scribe was actually a profession? Not everyone learnt how to read and write. It was one of those things that you’d leave to the professionals. In our time, thanks to the fight against illiteracy, all of us are expected to know how to read and write, including writing reports. That explains why for many people, report writing sucks. Don’t you wish report writing was just “left to the professionals”?
