One thing that\u2019s been on my mind recently is how we spend our time and energy. We only get so much of it in a day, and it\u2019s very quickly expended. It\u2019s a very obvious point, yet I find it resonates anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My concept is that I would make a board of sorts that has different locations on it labelled with different activities a student could do in a day. The user is given a ball of clay that represents how much time\/energy they have, and they will have to use that clay to \u201cplan out their day\u201d by connecting it to the different activities. The clay touching the different activity nodes will toggle them on, and at the end a series of brief animations would be played showing what the user chose. The point though, is that you can\u2019t do everything at once; you can\u2019t stretch yourself too thin or you\u2019ll just end up wearing yourself out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One part that I am still struggling with though is how I want to design the board. Part of me thinks I should take a linear approach to it, but I also wonder what other forms could look like. Also, after drawing out the boards I realized I may have to severely cut down how many inputs I can have because even though I could recycle some animations, I may not be able to use the inputs more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
