Flodesk presents a study desk designed to promote active procrastination through single-task processing. Research shows multitasking, part of passive procrastination, impairs cognitive function and increases stress. Active procrastination, where users consciously switch tasks, enhances productivity and reduces negative emotions. Designed for home use, particularly for university students and home office workers, Flodesk features a structure for seamless switching between three surfaces. Two surfaces allow task switching without moving items, while the third is for standing tasks. The size is optimized for single-task use, employing a clear tech design to encourage surface switching, promoting conscious task differentiation through subconscious behavior.
