Ideation
We ran a design studio to generate multiple ideas quickly. We used the crazy 8 method keeping to 1 minute a sketch.
Our initial ideas were:
a) Video meetings with integrated timers, track actual time spent in meetings.
b) Visual prompts to take breaks backed up by behavioural science.
c) Making yourself accountable, set your own break-timer.
d) Potential Zoom & Headspace collaboration.
Possible integrations:
1. Within chat functionality.
2. In Zoom's status bar.
3. Visual prompt as a 'person' along with other meeting participants.
4. Peripheral icon / element, which can become a screen take over (pop-up) to prompt actions.
After reviewing ideas we voted and agreed on sketched 4 + 7 and decided to combine both ideas. Making yourself accountable by setting your own break-timers & friendly educational visual prompts to take breaks.
