#AutoPilot Product Plan

###Problem Statement

A series of experiments led by Professor Kathleen Vohs at the University of Minnesota demonstrated that making decisions throughout the day--whether pleasant, difficult, or mundane--wear down a person’s mental energy. Other studies led by Professor Roy Baumeister at Florida State University have shown that depleted mental energy reduces a person’s self-control and ability to make smart decisions throughout the day. Autopilot is an iOS app that helps users reduce the number of decisions they make while performing mundane tasks during the day. Additionally, it allows users to interact with the app from the lockscreen to reduce potential distractions while performing their everyday routines.

###Market Research

#A To Do List/Routine Keeper for Distractible Humans

Problem Statement: Unlocking a phone and opening an app to access a single item on a to do list can be time consuming, and it's far too easy to find oneself distracted by all of the fun features a phone has to offer. Additionally, many to do list apps do not allow users to save lists they may want to reuse.
Draft Feature Set: This app will allow users to interact with their to do lists directly from their phone’s lock screen and save lists for future use (a feature that’s great for people trying to establish new habits and routines).

###MVP

• When a user opens the app, they will see the option to add a new list
• When a user opens the app, they will be able to view their saved lists
• For new lists, users can add each step they'd like to complete in order

Before beginning Ada, I taught math and reading to special needs students in a low income school, where I used instructional data and educational technology and to create meaningful goals for my students and facilitated the learning processes to help them achieve those goals.

Teaching students with special needs gave me a unique opportunity to watch and empathize with my students’ frustrations with all kinds of technology. Their struggles taught me the importance of accessibility and the need to create a positive and intuitive user experience.

As a student at Ada, I have an affinity for writing clean readable code, finding logical solutions to difficult problems, and creating an enjoyable user experience. When I am not hacking away at my keyboard, you can find me cafe crawling around Seattle or lost on the local hiking trails.
