As people\u2019s time becomes increasingly fragmented, getting tasks accomplished becomes more and more challenging. In this project we are investigating ways of decomposing larger tasks into smaller microtasks that leverage the micromoments that exist sporadically during a person\u2019s day. Our goal is to provide new ways of accomplishing smaller goals that contribute towards larger productivity, instead of setting aside large chunks of uninterrupted time. Currently, we are focusing on writing as potential domain where microtasks can be used to create content, but microtasks can also be used in a variety of other domains such as coding and education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
