about this project

Procrastination chronically affects 15%–20% of adults (Steel 65). Its effects can pose severe mental and physical harm to one’s health including anxiety, stress, depression, time management deposition, distraction, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, overall reducing people’s well-being and happiness (Jin et al.). Completing even the simplest of tasks can be a struggle when undergoing procrastination. With advancements in technology, there is an increasing reliance on digital tools and applications that help monitor time, organize work, and limit distractions which have emerged to aid individuals in focusing more effectively on completing tasks. RocketFuel is a mobile application designed to assist users in overcoming procrastination through a combination of UX/UI gamification methodologies, where users are rewarded for their productive behavior through progress tracking and milestone achievements. RocketFuel uses an orange and red color palette to symbolize productivity, determination, and passion. Its rounded content containers and spacing help maintain a stress free look. Furthermore, the rounded san-serif fonts only add to the calming appearance of the app. In the end, RocketFuel hopes to help those afflicted with procrastination overcome their problems.
