User Scenario:
In the middle of the day the pre-entered task list comes up.With a quick Alert on your cell phone you can check tasks that have been completed.
Checking off tasks calculates your efficiency for x hours from morning.
A meagre 3 tasks completed out of 5? When completion for these tasks was due in the aftrenoon,Efficiency is a mere 33%.
Switches over to a wall Paper showing flowers with incomplete fills.With higher efficiency the size, detailing and the fill of the flowers increases.
The goals of the midlet are to create a conversation with your schedule and provide constant reminders of efficiency in subtle ways such as wallpapers with few dull flowers as opposed to bright wallpapers .Escaping the schedule check defaults to no tasks checked and 0 efficiency.
This tool is meant for people who need the coersion and constant reminder as opposed to people who get annoyed with a constant reminder.
An alternative is to snooze the schedule check.
The harrowed , busy, student.
The cellphone is a device that has limited capabilities as opposed to a laptop, but it is more accessible than anything else we own.This application makes use of this ubiquity of the device that we carry and interact with in subways and elevators where many of its functions work without the presence of wireless internet or cellphone network.
Using this device as an explorer of a persons efficiency with minimum input and providing alerts and efficiency visualisation is the goal of the MIDlet.
The user begins by entering the list of activities that must be done by the end of the day.The list of activities is boradly timestamped using morning, afternoon and evening.
During these phases of the day an alert list shows up where the user can check off whatever tasks have been accomplished.Using this data the application calculates your efficiency starting from the time of the day to the current time.A visualisation of the efficiency is your screensaver.
