Designing an Anti-Burnout Hobby App
Designing an Anti-Burnout Hobby App
Embedded Files
This app has been the most personal and meaningful project I’ve ever undertaken. Designed for individuals struggling with burnout and stress, the Forgotten Hobbies app helps users rediscover long-forgotten hobbies and build a healthier balance between work and personal life.
Problem & Context
Problem & Context
Digital addiction and screen time have made it increasingly difficult for people to engage in physical hobbies, leading to creative blocks and burnout.
Research confirms that actively pursuing hobbies, rather than just watching them online, leads to higher levels of psychological and physical well-being.

Research shows that actively pursuing your hobbies, rather than only watching others pursuing your hobbies online, leads to higher levels of psychological and physical well-being.
My own personal experimentation with returning to my painting hobby demonstrated increased energy levels, pride in accomplishments, and improved motivation and self-image
Solution
Solution
The "Forgotten Hobbies" app was developed to help users transition from excessive social media use to engaging in screen-less hobbies through features like habit tracking, buddy systems, and guided journeys.
The app incorporates elements from successful platforms like Fabulous, Headspace, and Skillshare, focusing on goal setting, mindfulness, and community interaction.
