Research

Our research addressed this gap by conducting a comprehensive empirical study to evaluate the usability and effectiveness of GTD-focused applications. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, we first conducted a literature review to identify key features and principles of GTD methodology. Subsequently, we designed and developed a prototype GTD-focused application, incorporating these principles and features. Through usability testing and user feedback sessions, we assessed the app's usability, user satisfaction, and impact on task management practices.

Key Learnings

From this project, I learned the importance of designing a user-centered productivity tool that integrates seamlessly into various workflows. The different pages—Inbox, Projects, Next Actions, Waiting For, Energy Check-In, and Reflection Space—each address specific needs and challenges faced by users. By incorporating features such as task creation, status updates, energy level tracking, and reflection prompts, I discovered how crucial it is to provide a comprehensive and flexible system. The integration of visual data through graphs in the Reflection Space further highlighted the value of clear and accessible feedback for users, empowering them to make informed decisions and continuously improve their productivity. Overall, this project reinforced the importance of usability, customization, and continuous improvement in developing effective productivity tools.
