Week 7-session 1

We had a lecture on the different approaches to design for wellbeing. It was interesting to see good design briefs others had created and also it helped to inspire ideas for my own topic. This would be helpful in terms of generating ideas. There was also a lecture from lifehack where I learnt or revised stuff I already knew about wellbeing. It was good to be refreshed with all that information after the break.

In class we used the technique discussed from the lifehack lecture. The spiderweb wellbeing table. Me and my partner incourporated the things we did in the holidays into this web. I learnt that I did do things that were for my wellbeing in the holidays without really noticing it. This was all to slowly ease into more rapid ideation for our topic. For the remainder of the lesson we spent it generating more ideas under the statement of trying to make people value sleep more because we found that there were these techniques out there but people often ignored them. We thought about before during and after scenarios. A idea I thought about was maybe certain words could influence the way we think before and during when we sleep. For example putting motivational or calming words to read on the walls before we sleep could maybe influence our dreams or take our mind off work before bed. However, I think more iterations are needed in order to push our initial ideas further.
