How do you avoid procrastination?
Procrastination is a very common problem within schools and workplaces and a key question now-
a-days is how do you overcome it?
Most of the time people procrastinate because they
overestimate the unpleasantness of the task at hand, this is what also causes
people to become anxious and stressed. Therefore
creating even more negative feelings towards the task.
With Don’t Dawdle, we provide a stress free
environment which allows you to do your work to the best of your ability without
stress.
Our MotivationWhilst in the process of deciding what we wanted to base our app upon, we realised that procrastination is a very familiar subject with both us and our fellow colleagues...
...Being the young innovators we are, we saw a great new app idea with great prospects and instantly began developing Don’t Dawdle...
Our app not only ensures that people can get work done on time, it significantly lowers their stress levels which would in turn lead to them being a happier person! We wanted to help people all around the world organise their lives in a simple way.

With procrastination being such a common issue, there have been a few anti-procrastination apps created. Our main form of competition is an app called ‘Keep Focused’ which has suffered dramatically since creation:● Receiving extremely poor reviews from users● Reports of faulty operating systems and features

Features
Where would we get our data from?
With our app, the user would input their data into the timetable option on our app and we would use their profiles and user information to fulfill the tasks we need. We would also need to access the internet and app/website settings to make sure we can do our job and block the websites the user wants us to.
7 out of 10 people are willing to pay for our app. They said it would be extremely useful
and practical.
Customer PledgesWe asked 10 people about what they thought about our pricing and whether or not they would be willing to pay the £0.69. This is what they said...
However 3 people admitted that they
would only download it if it
were free.
AdvertisementWe are advertising our app on websites apps and social media sites such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram ,Spotify and Snapchat. This would be ideal for the younger section of our target market because they constantly have a connection to social media and love so spread the word around.
We have also created a twitter page on which you can see updates and ask any questions. Follow us @dont_dawdle!
Our Journey
In the making of our app ‘Don’t Dawdle’ we have had to do a wide range of planning and organising on lots of different types of software.
