Interviews

“We have the tools to manage our time better, but in actuality we choose not to. And I don’t think it’s like because I really don’t want to do it because I have this intent like, “oh I really want to get this project done.”
“Definitely if it’s like a digital assistant type of thing, I really wouldn’t mind, I’d probably get annoyed a lot… I think a virtual person is kind of easier to handle because they’re not real.”
“Yes, it will be quite helpful if making a to-do list is simpler. I might consider using it as long as it’s simple enough.”

“As someone who puts off work due to laziness and lack of motivation, I want to be pushed and encouraged positively to do it so that I’m not only forced by pressure of due dates.”
“As someone who does not organize their tasks well, I want to have a digital planner rather leaving mental notes so that I don’t become incredibly stressed from having the feeling of too much being dumped on me at once.”
“As a person who doesn’t want to spend too much time on planning, I want the scheduling process to be short enough for me to jump right into my project.”
