Extending patience with regular progress updates

[quikchange]

It's a widely held misperception that people are impatient. In reality, people just want to be reassured that progress is being made. As long as they perceive that to be the case, it is possible to keep them waiting indefinately with little to no ill-effect

I'm genuinely impatient. I read the first few sentences, then realized this was going to be a long post with multi-syllabic words. I then skipped to the end and read the last paragraph.

What you really wanted was the penultimate paragraph ;-P

It's on my to-do list. :)
