  1. W H A T WE LEARNED IT’S NOT LACK OF

    ORGANIZATION/ TIME MANAGEMENT TOOLS THAT IS THE PROBLEM… IT’S THE LACK OF ACCESSIBILITY AND EASE OF USE. THERE IS A NEED FOR AN “EMAIL DASHBOARD” THAT ADDS ANOTHER LAYER OF ABSTRACTION BETWEEN YOUR ENTIRE INBOX AND THE MAJOR CATEGORIES YOU CARE ABOUT.
  2. STRESSOR ¡ An inbox represents too many aspects of an individuals

    life with no clear organization for the future USER GROUP ¡ Student-athletes managing personal, athletic, and academic tasks and obligations & USER GROUP S T R E S S O R
  3. LIKED/LOVED ¡  Ease of use, simplicity ¡  Task isolation =

    stress isolation ¡  Automatically opens on the daily view ¡  Bubbles: love that can shrink/grow, great way to represent multiple inboxes ¡  Colors: people loved the introduction of subdued/ calming colors/nature themes (But: watch so that it doesn’t become too feminine) ¡  Priority Gradient: huge help for planning email answering process TO ADD/THINK ABOUT ¡  Colors/Fonts: think about color suggestions, so that the same color scheme isn’t use to signify different things -watch that it doesn’t become too feminine ¡  Calendar: most don’t use now, but our process will make it more accessible ¡  Priority: darkest on top § add weekly/monthly task bar to new homepage prototype § personalize backgrounds? § offer a few options TRIAL RESULTS
