Sketching

After having received all the feedback forms from the tool-testing, the next step was to sketch new tools involving the feedback.

Using refreshments as a tangible to do list:

The orange colour indicates a tape which is wrapped around the bottle. You can peel off a "post-it" and stick it wherever it is best visible for you...even on the bottle itself. I didn't take this project further, as writing on a round piece of tape is not that comfortable. Also I think that not everyone one will get the point of this tool.

The following tool is a clock made out of paper. It doesn't show the 24 hours a day, but the working day from 9am to 5pm. The clock indicates slots of 25 minutes, which is focused working time, and slots of 5 minutes in between, which are ment to be for breaks. On the paper you can write your to do list and stay realistic on how much you will be able to manage today.

I didn't take this project further as it is too strict. It doesn't leave any room for flexibility.

This lamp has paper attached to it (looking like a flower). Each piece of paper can be used to write your to do list on it. The chance of losing it is very small, as the lamp is always present on your table.

Similarly here a little experiment:

Here you can see a to do list with the principle of an Abakus.
You can slide the "to-do" pieces from left to right, to keep an overview of what you still have to do, and what still has to be done.
