Prototype April 2, 2020 by Erin Mooney Leave a Comment My prototype is a fill-in-the-blank daily schedule for my time in quarantine. Something that negatively affects me during this time is feeling as if I am doing the same thing each day and that everyday is blending together. I attempted to make a solution to this problem by providing multiple options for alternating activities I can do each day. This schedule provides structure and discipline while also leaving room for creativity. Going forward, I can improve this prototype by coming up with more options to fill in each blank. My plan is to fill out the schedule before bed each night, to motivate myself for the start of the next day. I wanted to make a prototype that was a mix between my three concepts: unplugging, going outside, and planning and reflecting on each day. Making my schedule at night after a day is over will allow me to think back on that day and what I would like to do differently tomorrow. Additionally, all options to fill the blank spots involve either spending time outside or doing something productive that does not involve social media. This schedule is designed to ensure that each day is a productive one. It is easy to sit on the couch all day but in a time of isolation, this could really negatively impact mental health.
