Inspiration

PNM was inspired by the universal struggle with procrastination that affects students, professionals, and everyday individuals alike. We wanted to create a tool that not only helps manage tasks but also addresses the psychological barriers that delay task initiation and completion.

What it does

PNM is an website that combines time management with behavioral science techniques to help users overcome procrastination. It features a task organizer, a Pomodoro timer, motivational quotes, productivity tips and tricks, and a community-driven accountability system. These tools work together to enhance focus, motivation, and overall productivity.

How we built it

We developed Procrastinate No More using HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), and JavaScript, leveraging the collaborative capabilities of the online platform Glitch. This approach allowed us to quickly prototype and iterate on our designs, facilitating seamless collaboration among our development team in real-time.

Challenges we ran into

One of the primary challenges we faced was ensuring proper formatting across different components of the website. This included adjusting the slideshow to fit various screen sizes appropriately and designing buttons that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional and of the right size for easy interaction.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are particularly proud of achieving the desired aesthetic that resonates with our users, creating an engaging and visually appealing interface. Additionally, we successfully implemented a gamification element to the task management process, making daunting tasks more approachable and enjoyable for users, which significantly enhances user engagement and productivity.

What we learned

We significantly enhanced our teamwork skills throughout this project. We also gained proficiency with Glitch, a collaborative coding platform that was new to us. Additionally, we encountered and overcame various challenges that helped us understand the limitations and further sharpen our skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

What's next for Procrastinate No More (PNM)

Looking ahead, we plan to expand PNM's capabilities with a Pomodoro timer integrated with users' calendars, a rich resource hub for learning productivity techniques, and mindfulness exercises during breaks. Additionally, AI-driven personalized suggestions for task management and break activities.

Key Features

  1. Task Breakdown Description: Users input tasks they find daunting or are prone to procrastinate on. The app then breaks these tasks into smaller, more manageable steps. Implementation: Simple input forms for tasks with suggested sub-tasks automatically generated by the app using natural language processing (NLP) techniques.

  2. Motivational Rewards System Description: As users complete tasks and sub-tasks, they earn points. A motivational quote is accompanied with points. Implementation: A point-tracking system and a rewards catalog within the app.

  3. Focus Timer Description: Incorporate a Pomodoro-style timer to help users focus for set periods, followed by short breaks. This method is popular for maintaining concentration and preventing burnout. Implementation: Timer functionality with customizable focus and break durations.

  4. Mindfulness and Motivation Boosts Description: Offer quick mindfulness exercises and motivational quotes or videos that users can engage with during breaks or when they feel particularly unmotivated. Implementation: A curated library of multimedia content focusing on motivation, with periodic updates and user customization options.

  5. Procrastination Journal Description: Allow users to keep a journal or log of moments when they procrastinate, including their thoughts and feelings at the time, to identify patterns and triggers. Implementation: Journaling feature with prompts and the ability to review past entries for insights.

  6. Social Accountability Description: Users can pair up with accountability partners or join groups of fellow procrastinators where they can share progress and support each other. Implementation: Social features integrated into the app, including messaging, task sharing, and progress comparisons.
