This document outlines the research questions, working definitions, subquestions, and next steps for a thesis on designing an instrument of time to reduce work-nonwork conflict. The researchable question asks how an instrument of time can incorporate the metaphor of time as a container for meaning. Working definitions explain key terms and concepts. Subquestions explore an individual's relationship between work and nonwork environments and the meaning-based model of work-nonwork conflict. Next steps include questions about how an instrument could allow for multi-modal interactions and complement the metaphor of time as a balancing act.

TIME AS A CONTAINER This is a metaphor for time which recognizes time as a finite resource and FOR MEANING emphasizes the qualitative aspect of time as well as the subjective experience of time. TIME AS A This is a metaphor for time, which recognizes time as a finite resource and BALANCING ACT emphasizes the quantitative aspect of time by focusing on time allotment.

WORK-NONWORK CONFLICT Work-Nonwork conflict arises when an individual has difficulty in managing or attending to their various roles within a work or non-work domain.
