We live in a time where we can use data-driven science and live data technology collection. We do not have to trust different sources or opinions to check our health status. And It's only through the close measurement of our actions that we can realize the possibilities of change.Once we have the data, we can look for solutions to problems. This is how the potential dashboard will look, if you go online and check out the fidgets you made through locus. It would be able to tell you when you are more productive during the day so you can develop those boring tasks then!  Also you emotional stability based on the time per click you make as well as frequency.

As part of my design research after I coded my app I user tested  fidget.xyz I realized people used it as a meditation tool to avoid impulsive behaviors.

Wanting to expand beyond Didgets, I redirected my focus onto one of the biggest distractions in today's world- our mobile devices. She thought, what would happen if you could treat the biggest distraction and only device you carry 24/7 as a fidget device?  With the help of Alex Castillo,  and Josh Corn She went ahead and coded fidget.xyz where a user can tap on the screen and it will tell you the amount of fidgets you've done.

After user testing it, the feedback reminded me of an important element that was being forgotten and which is a huge component of fidgeting - proprioception: movement and spatial orientation arising from stimuli within the body itself.
