The Bonded Brothers

See the Instructable!

My project is a pair of brothers that can sense and reciprocate each other’s feelings, no matter how far they are apart.

If one of the brothers is touched, he expresses his feelings in the form of a light or a vibrate. Because the bond between siblings is so strong, however, those feelings get reci-procated on the other doll. In this way, whatever you do to one doll is felt by the other.

These little guys can be shared between any pair of people who share a bond like the brothers do, that way, no matter how near or far, you can always let them know you’re still bonded.

Angry Aunty – Turning Procrastinators Into Proactive Workaholics.

https://www.instructables.com/id/Angry-Aunty-Comes-to-the-Rescue/

There are two kinds of people in this world:

  • Procrastinators who need a mere reminder for them to start working, and
  • Procrastinators who need a shock, a slap and a scolding to start working.

I fall into the second category. Do you? According to a study conducted in 2014, eighty-seven percent of high school and college students are self-proclaimed procrastinators. Most students said they procrastinate either because they get distracted by other things, or because they get “overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.”

Angry Aunty: a motion censored anti-procrastination tool that uses customized aggressive alarms to get the job done as soon as you get to the workplace.

This product solves the problem of people not knowing where to start as it connects to any of your to-do-list applications that keep track of your tasks everyday. As soon as it detects your presence in your room or your office cubicle, Angry Aunty calls you and shouts out one task that needs to be done from your to-do-list. And they will continue to call you and aggressively remind you until that task is done and taken off of your list.

 

Here is the link to my video.

Redefining Task Zero

Task Zero was originally about materialising a person’s digital task list, showing only one task per day. This helps he/she does his/her tasks more efficiently. But hold on…

Living in the society that values high efficiency and stresses success, one may tend to forget there is life beside work.

Task Zero, now, is about the task before the first. Task 0: Treasure your personal life.

Don’t put off those tasks that cultivate your soul. It’s not about booking a flight, it’s about going home. It’s not about getting the groceries, it’s about cooking it for someone.

With this desktop device, I hope to convey to those getting swept away by a fast-paced work life that: the things that might make you smile are those important, not urgent and seemingly mundane tasks.
