Week Three: Workflow
My current workflow consists of researching, experimenting, developing and refining. Throughout my workflow I tend to get stuck on certain designs or spend too long focusing on the same thing as well as forgetting about other tasks to be completed. For example, I may spend a lot of time trying to refine a singular design rather than going back to experimenting, this habit causes me to waste time when I could using my time more efficiently.
Time Management and Task Scheduling software features are a possible solution to this difficulty. Rize is an app to maximise your productivity as it has an AI-powered time tracker that improves your focus and builds better work habits. I think that being able to see how long I have spent on a task would be useful to ensure I am using my time wisely.
Another useful app is Trevor AI which offers AI-driven time-blocking to help with daily planning and task scheduling as well as personalised scheduling suggestions. Although this app is to plan your everyday activities I think that it would be useful to schedule time to work on certain tasks. This would help resolve my struggle of focusing on one task for a long period of time. The app can organise every task competing for your time in one integrated task hub, with Trevor's assistance. Not only will I be able to ensure I spend time on multiple tasks but I can then track what has been completed and what I need to do.
These solutions can be integrated into my practice to improve efficiency and reduce friction as my time management affects every stage of my workflow. Being able to track my time spent working and my tasks to be completed seems like an effective way to resolve this issue.
