It has been the sensible order of choosing the source account then choosing the destination account. Now they’ve switched it to where you have to first choose the destination account then choose the source account.
I understand this shouldn’t be a big deal but my brain just absolutely rejects it and even knowing full well they’ve made the change on several occasions I’ve moved money the wrong way. Sometimes without even realizing it for days.
I don’t think this is simply a muscle memory thing that I’ll eventually get used to; I feel like it’s fundamentally nonsensical and I’m curious if it’s just me. Or am I just being a stubborn old man stuck in his ways?
Can also think like this, “I have an invoice that I need to pay. So I need to pay to there, let me figure out where to get the money from”, i.e. impetus/problem-based thinking instead of process-based thinking.
The process is
move X to Y
, but the need to get something toY
actually came first, likeY
is an invoice, or an account that is overdrawn, or whatever.Y
created the “problem” initially, and thenmoving from X
is the “solution”.This is in a personal bank account though not inter company business
