How could a digital tool help students to break down and organize their tasks
to prevent overwhelm and focus on what is most important?
to prevent overwhelm and focus on what is most important?
During my exchange semester, I got the opportunity to explore digital design through a course that introduced me to the fundamentals of UX and UI. The goal of this project was to design a digital product and to prototype two of the action flows.

Concept
More and more students experience issues with concentration, attention span, and overwhelm.
The idea behind this project was to design an app to tackle these challenges by utilizing the techniques frequently used by people with ADHD.
Main flow
The calendar, inbox and timer are interactive. Click on the image to try them out.
Introduction flow
To introduce the user to the app and its functions and to guide them through the process of breaking down tasks. Click on the image to get the guided tour.
The visual focus timer sparks motivation and focus by giving you to a sense of urgency.
If you get interrupted by an important thought, "park" it in the parking lot to stay focused at the task at hand. You can relax knowing that it won't be forgotten.
Parked thoughts are collected among the other tasks in your inbox and can easily be converted into tasks.
To prevent overwhelm, the app guides you to break down your tasks into smaller and more specific subtasks.
This makes them more manageable and allows you to estimate the time they will take. Making big and complex tasks less intimidating.
