Time Dump
Digital media is a constant trap for people with ADHD, coping with their disorder while society demands productivity. This means that phone alarms and reminders are vital tools but can also be a source of distraction.
So we wondered: How might we create an instant reward that gives people with ADHD a boost to continue their focus after they get a notification?
---- Features
A Visual timer uses a metaphor that allows users to see in a graphical and satirist way how much time they have dumped attending the notifications.
Point system that deducts the extra time they have spent attending the notifications from future notifications time, on the contrary if the time was saved it will be added.
Daily onboarding greats them as soon as they open the phone for the first time in a day, asking them what is their motivation to save time today and manage the notifications.
Notification management allows them to decide which notifications they want active that day, which ones are urgent and which they want to stack together and attend in groups.
Reinforced affirmations encourage them to continue, reminding them of the motivation they set and the progress they have made.
“Having a tough day” mode gives the user a default setup optimized for the needs an ADHD person has on bad mood days, giving them guidance.
Scoring system at the end of each day allows the user to see how their progress is going since they started using the time dump but also from that day in specific.
---- Behavioral outcomes
- Attend notifications without getting trapped in their phones, scrolling for content.
- Gain control of their time and screen usage while having fun, lowering their guilt and stress about the topic.
- Engrain this tool as a seamless enabler of the mechanisms they use for remembering.
- Gain consciousness of the time they spend on attending the notifications, training themselves to be more efficient with it.
