Mindful Tech - QS2011
2 likes709 views
The document discusses the design of mindful technologies for self-tracking. It proposes three heuristics for mindful technology design: actionable to address attention, personalized to address intention, and explorable to address attitude. Self-tracking data alone is not enough for behavior change; the proper attention, intention, and attitude are also needed. The discussion seeks feedback on applying these heuristics to context-specific self-tracking tools and important questions to address in this area.

How do your self-tracking tools augment your attitudes or behavior? What are important heuristics for your self- tracking? How would you apply these to your context? What are the important questions to address? @frankc - Self-tracking for Mindful Technologies - QS2011 5/28/2011
