A Millennial’s Life

The Millenials or Gen Y are those who were born after 1980. So, if you were born way before that year, you may have seen so many differences in terms of attitude and personalities. Does it bother you? Although some of the previous generations may see the millennials as a bit on the quirky side, they do have some positive traits that everyone should learn and hopefully understand.

Millennial Traits

Most often, millennials are seen to be people who live in the extremes. But, somehow, this little “weirdness” has helped them get by with their lives to the point that they live better lives than people from the older generation.

1.     One of the best (?) traits of millennials is them being multi-taskers. You know how working at home have become popular for the past 10 years. Being able to work at home does not mean having to be glued in front of the computer doing just one thing. A millennial has learned to maximize his time by doing absolutely anything possible. Do you know anyone who works at home? You will find his workstation having at least two monitors. Yes, 2 monitors turned on at the same time. One monitor is used for working, while the other one may be for another job or for playing games. Imagine how a millennial can easily switch his brains from the working mode to the gaming mode! Insane, right?

2.     Since millennials tend to spend a lot of time online, they do like browsing a lot more than purchasing. So, what does this mean? Businesses should be more creative in marketing their products to entice millennials into buying what they offer. The millennials are more meticulous when it comes to spending their hard-earned money. They don’t give in easily. They need to weigh the pros and cons prior to buying. 

3.     If all millennials would gather around and turn on their gadgets all at the same time, the light that their gadgets emit could probably light up the streets! You cannot see anyone without a mobile phone or a tablet these days. To be constantly online seemed to be a norm for them. Of course, we know how technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. And this will probably be how we will live our lives from this time forward. This is one reason why mobile companies try to come up with better models each time so they can outdo the other. Millennials always want to have the latest technology in their hands and this is raking in millions to billions of dollars to mobile companies. The millennials are strongly aware of technology’s pitfalls, equipping them to mitigate the sleep-stealing effects of blue light-emitting devices with things like orange-filtered screens and computer-friendly glasses. 

    

      Oh yes! No millennial would miss an opportunity to take a selfie. Have you seen how many #selfies there are as of this time?

4.     If there is one really great trait that millennials have, that is being able to creatively think out of the box. They may stumble a few times, but it would not deter them from pursuing their goal. They always find ways on how to solve a problem and become successful in the end.

5.     As mentioned earlier, Millennials don’t just type in their card number to make a purchase the instant they catch something interesting. They seek for other people’s opinion regarding a certain product or service and then he decides if it is a go or a no.

6.     Not all would be too happy hearing a millennial to be brutally frank because that is just the way they are. They do not want to go around in circles just to please anyone. He says what he means and means what he says. He will never be beating around the bush if he dislikes something. Whether you take his opinion positively or not, it’s all up to you.

7.     You should never be hiding anything from a millennial. He wants to build trust around people and so he expects the same. If there is something that he needs to know, it is better that you tell it to him directly than let him hear about it from others. Again, going back to the previous trait, millennials are “famously frank”.

8.     They are multi-taskers, but they often want to have additional winks in between work. What does this mean? They work really hard, but they also demand to have a work-life balance and a more flexible schedule. They do not want to stick to a 9 to 5 routine, but rather to freely do what they need to do when they feel like doing it. This is probably one of the reasons why stay at home jobs have become popular. The millennials are eager to capitalize on the new technological capabilities (that they are already familiar with) to create more flexibility and thus a better work-life balance,” according to generations expert Ryan Jenkins.

Although they get to have a shut eye every now and then, this doesn’t mean that they get the restful sleep that they need. Being highly motivated to do the things that they need, they tend to work longer hours than actually have a good sleep. But, it is all in the discipline if they want to become successful with what they do. And to have a work-life balance, they need to do something about it.

Millennials and Technology

When we talk about millennials, technology is the next thing that we may have in mind, practically because they are the primary patrons of technology. It was mentioned in the early part of this article that millennials tend to do so many things all at the same time. To keep them abreast with their work, they sneak in a few minutes of playing.

A workstation with two monitors can be “heaven” for a millennial. And millennials, being cautious about spending their hard-earned money would surely prefer purchasing an inexpensive alternative rather than splurge on such expensive products. That is the very main goal of AVision – to provide quality yet affordable TVs to every Juan.
