The problem is that our ideas have too often been left scattered in our minds. We haven't been able to collect them, sift through them and see their connections and evolutions; we haven't had the time or encouragement to consider what each one is telling us and how they all stack up together.

I. Process

Brief & Problem Definition

A product that enables people to perceive and record their emotions and thoughts at the workplace.

Assumptions:

• people in the workplace have little time to record their thoughts and categorise emotions
• the flow should be interruptible and small-stepped
• to alleviate the stress of work, measures should be suggested and guidance provided

I started with some research on emotions at work, existing taxonomy of emotion and found the most interesting in content by the Yale Emotional Intelligence Institute.
