My first concept is a rough schedule I can follow every day. I realized it’s much easier to pass time when there’s some sort of routine to follow. I made sure to emphasize sleep, since that’s what allows me to be productive during the day. I made sure to also put the things I want to do after the things I have to do to encourage myself to be productive. Its a highly usable schedule due to its simplicity, and its also functional. The concept emphasizes getting into good habits that I can follow when we come back to campus and later in life as well.
My second concept is a list of pre-bedtime reminders I can put on my door. Sometimes when I’m in a rush to get to bed I’ll forget things like leaving my wallet and keys in the same place and feeding the cat a little more so he won’t wake me up in the middle of the night. This concept list can save me a lot of time to focus on my own my own physiological needs (through more sleep), as well as more time to work towards self-actualization. As my routine before bed changes, I can easily switch out sticky notes to reflect that.
My third concept is my envisioned setup for a work space which will further push me to be productive. Having a schedule is definitely useful, but if I don’t have a good place I can go work, it’s hard for me to stay on top of things. This design is definitely usable and functional as a diagram, but I’ll want to add more to the space later once I see how it actually looks. I want to try to spend at least three hours there a day being productive even once classes end. By modeling what I think want in the work space, I can get creative with how I lay out the items. I’ll also be able to make edits before putting the plan in motion.
