16. Me, in my own shoes.
17. Fixed access schedule.
18. KEEP CALM AND TAKE NOTES
19. WHAT WENT WRONG.
20. Inbox Zero The web has links Switching devices Background tasks
21. Some chores take time Text input is slow Starting late wont help Time Up!
22. WHAT ELSE MIGHT GO WRONG.
23. Transport and Pickup Coordination Lack of acknowledgement We forget things
24. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS.
25. Distractions = Entertainment + Discovery Elimination as solution not realistic Solve problem caused by distractions Minimize effect of distractions
26. Many tasks have predictable results Monitoring these tasks not essential Automate tasks
27. Tasks may not always be automated Ensure tasks of priority get attention Make background tasks transparent Visible feedback about progress
28. Text input takes time Impromptu competes with priority tasks Memory and recall not dependable Allow planning in advance
29. Schedule conflicts with availability Time is not enough Affects or useful for the future Offline access
30. Suggest obvious related tasks Data detectors to sense kind of task Dictionary for Input Context
31. Coherent workflow for multiple devices Sync devices Multi-device awareness
32. Minimize hidden UI elements/gestures Clarify difference in success and failure Emergency exits for user error Existing applications good at what they do Augment but do not repeat Transparency of Interface
