IDEA
IGNORE THE NOISE, FOCUS ON YOUR WORK
Together with our partners and friends from qntm.vis we designed a simple but effective TASK FOCUS APP. The idea was born out of the enthusiasm of CEO Marco Breier, who, in addition to the countless task tools, wanted the possibility to categorize essential, short-term goals and to refocus. For this purpose, he makes use of Eisenhower's method. This makes it easier to prioritize important tasks, delegate less important ones and eliminate unnecessary ones. Finally, the idea was born to package this approach into an appealing PowerApp in KOM4TEC 2019 design. Design, UI and UX were implemented by the guys from qntm.vis. Of course, the app was programmed by us and implemented with Microsoft PowerApps.
EISENHOWER MATRIX
"PLANS ARE NOTHING; PLANNING IS EVERYTHING" [D. D. EISENHOWER]
The app is based on the method of former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower. This approach sorts each upcoming task into one of the four quadrants based on the criteria IMPORTANCE (important/not important) and URGENT (urgent/not urgent). This allows you to decide how to deal with this task: do it yourself immediately, schedule it and do it yourself, delegate it and don't deal with it.
FUNCTIONS
"SIMPLICTY IS ABOUT BRINGING ORDER TO COMPLEXITY" [J. IVES].
The app allows you to create tasks within the four quadrants, adjust their order, move them to another quadrant and, of course, check them off. All tasks also show how many days ago they were created. This encourages the user not to push tasks in front of him. In addition, a FOCUS MODE has been integrated, which forces the user to spend a certain amount of time exclusively on a task and finally complete it successfully.
DESIGN
KOM4TEC - A LIVING BRAND
DESIGN - KOM4TEC - A LIVING BRAND
qntm.vis took advantage of our current look as a Living Brand for the design. All accents, besides white and black were implemented in Pantone's chosen color of the year 2019 LIVING CORAL. They used this brief to specifically highlight buttons, as well as draw attention to functional options. The clear, simple font underscores the minimalist look. After all, the eye eats with you
