That said, not everyone uses these apps to keep track of things they need to get done, and some don\u2019t even have such a list of tasks at all. There are, however, many proponents of keeping even the simplest of task lists, not just for the sake of writing down those to-dos. There is evidence of a subtle yet effective psychological benefit to checking off boxes or striking out tasks, something that doesn\u2019t translate cleanly to their digital counterparts. That\u2019s the kind of mind trick that this simplistic-looking device uses, offering a distraction-free way of getting addicted to getting your to-dos done.<\/p>\n<p>Designers: Go Eunseo, janchi<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/18\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This cute gadget is the physical manifestation of checking off a task\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-4.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-409055\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/18\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This cute gadget is the physical manifestation of checking off a task\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-4.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"1042f41012f9992433c66cfa-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"1042f41012f9992433c66cfa-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>There is definitely something satisfying in the physical act of marking a task as completed. Sure, you can tap on your phone\u2019s screen to do the same, but it requires almost no effort to make that action really meaningful. Perhaps it is the physical activity paired with the sense of accomplishment that gives us that dose of dopamine, which means that it might not require pen and paper to pull that same trick off in other forms.<\/p>\n<p>PRESS is a concept for a device that brings a bit of that phenomenon in a new way that bridges the physical and digital worlds. It has a minimalist design that leaves no room for guesswork on what it does, especially with a big orange button that simply says \u201cPress\u201d on it. Of course, its actual implementation might not be so simplistic, and the theories behind it are quite profound as well.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/18\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This cute gadget is the physical manifestation of checking off a task\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-5.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-409056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/18\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This cute gadget is the physical manifestation of checking off a task\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-5.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, this device shows a single line of text displayed in an almost retro LCD-like font. There is a small part above the text for a 2\u00d72 matrix of numbers representing the time in 24-hour format. All these displays are \u201chidden\u201d beneath the surface so that the gadget looks completely clean when there is nothing to show.<\/p>\n<p>The idea is for PRESS to show a single task at a time and the time when it needs to be done. Ideally, it could be a recurring task that happens at the same time daily, like writing or reading at night. When the time for doing the task nears, it will display that data. And when the task is done, you simply press on the orange button to mark it as completed, almost like those buzzers that contestants smash on TV <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> shows.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/18\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This cute gadget is the physical manifestation of checking off a task\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-2.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-409057\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2022\/11\/18\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"This cute gadget is the physical manifestation of checking off a task\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2022\/11\/this-cute-gadget-is-the-physical-manifestation-of-checking-off-a-task\/press-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width=\"\"><\/p>\n<div overflow=\"\"><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"1042f41012f9992433c66cfa-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"1042f41012f9992433c66cfa-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>It is a pair of triggers and actions that can help develop a habit over time.
