This project presents desk accessories designed to promote active procrastination through single-task processing. The set includes three cubes, each representing a different task. When a user begins a task, they choose a cube, and the light gradually brighten over time, subtly indicating the duration of time. The number of lights corresponds to the duration, acting as an unobtrusive timer. When switching tasks, the user stops the current cube and selects a new one, resetting the timer. Through these behavioral prompts, users become aware of their current task and the approximate time spent, promoting active procrastination and task awareness.
