Organise it. by Owen Bennett from uk
designer's own words:
Thinking about anticipation I realised the main time I anticipate is when i'm trying to find time to do university work, i'm constantly bombarded with new deadlines and it can all become a bit overwhelming to deal with and all the work seems to merge into one and I often find myself procrastinating and thus the work that I produce is sometimes not up to the quality I know i'm capable of. Because of this I wanted to design a product that can help with this problem. I looked at it in the way of an email box where 20% of the emails you receive are really important and need a response right away. 70% are quite boring and dull but still need some attention at some point and then the final 10% are usually not really important and can be responded to at a later date. With all this in mind i designed a way in which is easy to order your work in this fashion and split up your work load. i have also tried to steer completely away from technology as i found that often the main time people procrastinate is when they are on their phones or laptops pointlessly browsing through the web and social media. the products i have made are clearly scaled in height order to indicate the importance. There would also be a clear differentiation between the weights of each block with the most important block being significantly heavier than the lesser important one. I would make the blocks out pine as it is a calming wood and coat them in cedar wood oil as this is indicated that it helps to calm people due to the texture of it.
