IX. Summary

From the research findings, we identified the core objectives of the service are (1) to reduce study-related stress through improving study productivity, and (2) to enrich social connections. We figured out the mechanisms to achieve these goals, that is a better planning and working routine for productivity, and peer support for social connections. We tested how the mechanisms work through prototyping, that became six main functions of our service: planning support, time structure with Pomodoro Technique, social pressure, working with peers, and two types of workshop – one is the utilisation of existing time- and stress-management workshops offered by the university, and the other is the workshops to be organised by student associations. The experience can be categorised into physical and virtual productivity sessions, and on-site workshops.
