Personas and Scenarios
Chad 22 year old college student
Chad’s college major is very project focused, he is constantly jumping from project to project and working with different people. To unwind from long working hours on these projects, he likes to play games and scroll through various social media apps on his phone. Despite spending several hours being productive on projects, he feels as though this time spent on his phone is overly unproductive and a waste of his time. Chad’s earliest class in the day is 11 AM but he wants to get up early enough to spend some time in the morning being productive and spending more time on himself as a person rather than scrolling on his phone.
Goals: Reduce how much time he spends on his phone Force himself to get up in the morning so he can be more productive throughout the day.
Maria 40 year old office worker in San Jose, California Project Manager at Stanford Hospital B.S. in Information Technology
Maria is normally outgoing, loves the outdoors, and goes hiking. She is married, has two kids, and a cat in a three bedroom home. With things picking up at work for the current project they’re working on, she has not had the time to be out and about because she is burnt out and too tired. As she became more and more busy and unable to do the normal things she loves, it was taking a toll on her mental health. Outside of work, she likes to spend time with her family and take a walk outside.
Goals: Spend half an hour to an hour, either walking or jogging Get in the habit of squeezing in time to go outside even with a busy work schedule
As Chad’s college is nearing finals week, he is in crunch time for all of his projects so he is spending all of his nights staying up late working on several projects at the same time. He has a bad habit of staying up even later on his phone and grabbing his phone first thing in the morning when he wakes up. He wants to get better about these bad habits and start getting to bed sooner and getting up earlier in the morning so that he can be more productive instead of spending several unnecessary hours in bed.
It’s been a long week and Maria misses going on hikes. It’s one of her favorite things to do on weekends. Though, since she hasn’t been her usual self and had the energy, she isn’t quite ready to do that again. So, as a smaller step, she thinks going for a short walk in the neighborhood would be a good alternative to boost her mood and energy levels.
