Challenge

There are well studied benefits of setting goals in life. People, however, don’t usually feel they are making progress towards their goals or that their daily tasks have any effect on them. Often many of us have troubles staying motivated or focusing on the important.

Challenge

People often suffer from insomnia. After trying various methods falling asleep faster some just can't find the one working every time without the medication. Not everything works the same way for everyone, so insomnia problems might feel too complex and out of person's control.

Outcome & Lessons learned

Circumstances could've been better, but enough for practice. I experienced the importance of key UX research method – user interviews. Extensive secondary research helped me see some productivity issues or problems in productivity apps, but primary research is irreplaceable when it comes to understanding the user. Without it I might have been solving problems people didn’t actually have.​​​​​​​​​​​

Outcome & Lessons learned

To help with the challenge habit tracking features were added for extra motivation and a bit more personal touch. Insomniacs would be able to have more insight into their daily lives with detailed statistics and graphs.
