Update the 'Why' section of the readme - What problem are we solving? #222
Comments
@nelsonic @iteles - I'd like my edit of the Why section to embody what you set out for the reason Time should be built. This is my understanding based on reading through the readme/ issues in the repo thus far. I felt like the knowledge was a bit scattered and so I had to search around a bit to get to this point. I'd like to edit the 'why' in the readme so this information is readily available to everyone who is new to the project. What do you think of my summary? Have I understood the dialogue on the repo as you intended? |

Revised 'Why?': Why?We want to help people achieve their biggest life and organisational goals. We feel that helping people to stop wasting their time on things that don't further those goals is a good way of getting there. |
@Cleop this is a good why. |
I have grouped together 'what is the problem we are looking to solve?' and 'why are we building Time?' because in my eyes, when you build something you do it to create something that people will benefit from that they cannot already get access to elsewhere. Another way of saying this is, we are trying to solve a problem for people that they don't already have a solution to.
From our existing 'Why?' section in the readme:
I agree with this extract however what this extract is saying is why time is precious not why tracking time is precious.
In #19 (comment) we say:
So from this I am deducing that the problem we are looking to solve is:
The problem of not having enough time to spend doing the things you love.
We believe that time management may be a solution that can help solve this problem. However, there are billions of time management methods and applications as @nelsonic mentioned: #19 (comment).
And yet the problem of having more time to do what you love has not been solved for many people. Therefore, there is something that these apps are not doing that needs to be done differently.
I am going to group together our findings from our discovery research on time saving methods to reveal the next step which is how we propose to help people find more time to do the things they love.
Actions:
We believe time is really valuable but we never seem to have enough of it. We cannot make more time but we can provide tools to help you make the best use of yours to have more time to do what you love. We are building Time to be that tool.
