Designing personal systems for mindful decision making
Today's personal technologies are generally seen as reducing mindfulness. Users are so absorbed in their devices that they behave in more distracted ways, are less engaged in face-to-face social interactions and increase their sedentary behaviors. This often results in behaviors and habits that are …
