Problems

In today's fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be incredibly challenging. With hectic schedules and constant demands, many individuals find it difficult to take care of themselves properly. If you're one of those struggling to manage your personal and professional life effectively, you're not alone.

STATISTICS

Work-Life Imbalance:
66% of full-time American workers report struggling to maintain a proper work-life balance​ (What To Become)​.

Burnout:
A significant portion of the workforce, especially in demanding jobs such as healthcare, experiences high levels of burnout. For example, over two-thirds of registered nurses report feeling burned out most days​ (Toner Buzz)​.


Remote Work Influence:

The rise in remote and hybrid working arrangements has had a mixed impact. While 87% of U.S. employees believe remote work has improved their work-life balance, it also blurred the lines between work and personal life, increasing after-hours work and communication​ (Clockify)​.

Too much information can be overwhelming.


Users have expressed that they are overwhelmed by the amount of information and are unsure of what to do. I decide to simply the home pages and separate that with setting pages.

Everyone is different. Allow users to customize.


Users want to personalize their daily routines and have more control. I've modified the UI to make the customization settings more prominent, enabling users to tailor their goals more easily. I've also added some preset tasks to simplify the process of adding tasks.

More visual, less text.


The user mentioned that there was too much text to read, and the text size was too small. To address this, I included more visual diagrams and used logos to simplify the app features.

Style Guide


I plan to set my main display color to purple because it induces calm and helps maintain focus. This choice aligns with my application's goal of promoting user health by sending care messages.
