Concept

As a college student in NYC, I find myself spending lots of time on commute... subway, campus shuttle, bus, etc.. I often try to maximize productivity and make the most of this otherwise idle time.

I also drew inspiration from online production tools such as LoFi girl, a 24/7 livestream of an anime girl studying in her room and listening to lofi hip hop. Also, time management methods like the Pomodoro Technique---25 minute focus periods followed by 5 minute breaks.

I designed Study Clock, a side running production tool inspired by working during commute.

1. When users first open the web page, the website will prompt users to “swipe in” by dragging a metrocard across the screen.
2. The following screen prompts users to log their destination timeline → setting goals/events as destinations and specifying the amount of time to elapse in between + the length of each stop(breaks).

Between each stop is the time for a task to be completed → visual of subway running, moving background

Each stop represents a break and a change in task → visual of subway doors opening
