My Better Self

Designing for self-improvement

There are tools and strategies around which we utilise for our self improvement – devices and services and even law-binding steps we can take. These tools have in common that they are usually bought, set up or activated while we are in our ‘right minds’. Later on, they do their jobs while we are caught in our old and unwanted habits of thinking, feeling and doing.

These tools interest us, especially if they are tangible devices. Products built with the good intention to enforce good intentions. Fantastic.

Together with Brian Heumann, we are creating a taxonomy of these types of tools.
