Designing for busy-ness

I've always been an eager audience for new time management tools. I'm a busy person—I've been a busy person since high school. I like being busy. But what's a designer to do when "busy" becomes "totally swamped"?

During my last semester of design school, I was balancing a heavy courseload, multiple project deadlines, part-time work as a math tutor, and an all-consuming job search. I was also taking classes in persuasive design and behavioral economics. I wondered if there weren't a way I could apply what I was learning in class to to keep myself from feeling overwhelmed. As a final project, I prototyped an app called Carpe Diem, which uses the principles of persuasive design to address the time management challenges of a busy graduate student.
