Degree project Concept

-

Since I went to university, procrastination has become more and more serious. It has affected my quality of life and made me feel very painful. I originally wanted to use this project to help myself solve the problem of procrastination. When I was chatting with my friends, I found that it was not only me who had such troubles. Therefore, I would like to use this project to help people who have the same problems as myself and solve the problem of homework delays. How to complete tasks while procrastination happily.


The idea for this project is to design an app ‘study up’, How to complete tasks while procrastination happily’. The behavior of students to delay learning is very common (Kandemir, 2014). It is generally believed that procrastination will bring bad effects but delaying task progress may have hidden benefits for creativity (Shin & Grant, 2020). When a student is procrastinating on homework, there are often two voices fighting in his mind. On one side is hedonism, on the other side is the guilt caused by procrastination. Therefore, how to use app design to help students complete their homework on time is the focus of my project.

Based on the current user’s procrastination, this app will push similar professional students’ solutions to procrastination and share their own experience and time required to complete the homework. Users can make different learning plans based on the sharing of other students, and the app friends can urge them to complete the homework on time. At the same time, the app provides a white noise environment to help users focus on homework.
