This article talks about overcoming procrastination using the contraption called 'ReMind'. It is a device shaped like a clock which is hung on the wall with tasks assigned to each pinpoint. This article relates to us as we have a lot of distractions during this generation such as TV, video games, the internet and so forth. The notes on the right are what i wrote down whilst reading the article. I believe this contraption could be useful for people who are unable to stick to schedules and leave things to the last minute. It would encourage a person into performing tasks and making them into habits.
