00:19:29 Albrecht Schmidt: Q: do we really need digital tools for this? Is it about how we organize our lives? 00:21:55 Lewis Chuang: Open Question: Who or what is the best judge of whether or not we ought to be interrupted? What are relevant variables? :) 00:25:40 Sukrit Venkatagiri: How can we lower the overhead associated with breaking down tasks into microtasks? How does microproductivity affect our ability to do deep work (à la Cal Newport)? 00:27:55 Lewis Chuang: @Sukrit: Related, is Shamsi suggesting that this breaking down process can be algorithmically defined and automated? Does this align with more subjective(?) HF approaches e.g., cognitive work analyses? 00:28:19 Chris Janssen: Q: Although many of us focus on productivity and efficiency, I am wondering whether the current situation can also help to refocus on being a bit less productive and efficient. Taking the time to think, to have social interactions, and to (in that way) ground. How can we ensure that there is occasional time for “slow science”? 00:28:19 Albrecht Schmidt: we work on a project on how to design and develop digital tech that is good for your health - physical and mental - filling in all moments with work seems one of the problems... 00:30:31 Rishabh Jain: Would you say micro tasks augment focus work rather than replace it? 00:31:19 Karthik Bhat: Related to Chris, How does this approach to microtasks contend with digital (or not) wellbeing goals of down time from technology or work in general? 00:34:37 Lewis Chuang: Q: In your experience, what are the meaningful and robust variables, relevant to determining whether "now" presents an appropriate context for micro-tasks? 00:35:38 Aakash Gautam: Related to Karthik (and Chris): What are your thoughts on the potential of users (we) feeling having lack of control, especially when small moments are normalized as moments to be productive? 00:37:57 Sukrit Venkatagiri: @Albrecht: This popular press book talks about the importance of rest and cites some relevant studies you might be interested in. “Rest: Why You Get More Done When You Work Less” by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang 00:43:00 Julia Manning: Thank you!! 00:43:27 Ipek A.: Thanks! 00:43:30 areenalsaid: Thank you! 00:43:31 mohammad: Thank you! 00:43:39 gabby: Thank you! 00:43:42 Anna Cox: See you next week! :-) 00:43:52 Thomaz Teodorovicz: Thank you@! 00:43:52 John Krumm: Nicely done! 00:43:54 Kai Kunze: Thanks :) see you
