Inspiration
What inspired us to create this project was the issue of many students constantly neglecting their health and wellness amidst the pressure of work and academics. With such a hectic schedule, people often choose to sacrifice their sleep to study or finish assignments, impacting their well-being in the process. We felt like it was time to make a change and promote the idea of having a balanced and well-rounded lifestyle. And so, the idea to create this app that not only optimizes time management and efficiency but also prioritizes an individual's physical and mental well-being was born.
What it does
Our project utilizes a calendar feature where the user can input events, classes, and tasks. With this schedule entered, the app will recommend the user a specific time to sleep and wake up each day so that they will get a sufficient amount of sleep. As an incentive to maintain a good sleep schedule, corn will grow while the user is sleeping, but will catch on fire if the user picks up their phone during the designated sleep time. This corn simulator also occurs when the user chooses to start the Pomodoro Timer feature during work or study sessions, which further boosts productivity.
How we built it
We built our project using React Native, utilizing Firebase and Expo Go.
Challenges we ran into
Because we had many components and features of our project to work on, we were on a big time crunch which caused us to get very little sleep. This definitely affected our focus and productivity and was the reason for some silly mistakes and errors that took us a while to figure out.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Because some of our team was fairly new to React Native and had not really used it previously, we are proud that we were able to learn and adapt quickly to create a working functional application. We are proud of our determination to constantly make improvements to our project and willingly pursue more knowledge.
What we learned
Through working on this project, we garnered invaluable knowledge regarding React Native and how to utilize it, gaining familiarity as well as experience which will surely help us in the future for careers or other projects. Additionally, we learned to be resilient and collaborate productively.
What's next for stop procrastinating. go to sleep.
In the future, we hope to implement more features that promote wellness, such as a task and habit tracker, such as water consumption or frequent exercise. We could also work on expanding the corn simulator to contain other crops such as soybeans or carrots as well as a plant currency to unlock achievements and purchase these crops, which could be more fun and customizable.
