A positive queuing experience
Research reveals that how people feel while waiting is more important than how long they wait.
Everyone stands in line in the physical world. It is a way to deal with high demand. Online lines serve the same purpose, given the technical challenges of peak website traffic. By understanding queue psychology, you can ensure a positive experience for your customers.

Queuing: The perceived waiting time is the culprit
In the 1950s New York City, the problem was waiting in line for the elevators of the city's new skyscrapers. But building managers soon realised the problem wasn't the waiting time - it was the perceived waiting time.
The solution was to add floor indicators showing people the elevator's progress and adding floor-to-ceiling mirrors near the elevators to distract and occupy people. Similar solutions are found in airports, doctor's waiting rooms and supermarkets.

Six queuing principles
- Unoccupied time feels longer than occupied time. Find creative ways to engage your customers.
- People want to get started. Ensure that your customer feels like they've started. E.g. add a progress bar on the online queuing page.
- Uncertain waits feel longer. Give an estimated waiting time. Err on the side of overestimation.
- Unexplained waits feel longer. Provide clear explanations.
- Unfair waits are longer. Treat customers on a first-in, first-out basis.
- Anything that can cause anxiety makes waits feel longer. Keep a fair, one line queue to prevent repeated anxiety about choosing the "right line".

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
