Introduction
Many people don’t struggle with their goals, they struggle with the small steps needed to reach them. During my research with 10 users, I discovered that 80% felt overwhelmed while thinking about what they were meant to achieve.
Modo was created to help users break down their tasks into simple, intentional actions, making it easier to stay organized, motivated, and consistently progress toward their bigger goals.
The Challenge
Achieving a goal is not an easy feat, it could be very overwhelming because it requires commitment and consistency. This feeling often leads to procrastination, where tasks are delayed or avoided. Goals often feels heavy because it represents a Debt we owe to our future selves. When a goal requires long term efforts rather than a quick win, it is hard to continue putting in the work.
However, while procrastination can be often seen as poor time management or laziness, it’s an emotional coping mechanism. We avoid the task not because we don't want the result, but because the task itself triggers anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, or overwhelm.
My goal was to design a solution that helps users understand that one way to achieve that goal is the complete smaller tasks.
My Design objective is to;
Create Structure: Organize "scattered" habits so they feel like a clear daily plan.
Stop Decision Fatigue: Prevent users from feeling tired by giving them too many choices at once.
Fix Unclear Goals: Help users who feel stuck because their goals are too big.
