Archival
Chanjoo Tiffany Park
How can we restore energy in 2021? Me time, meaning time spent relaxing on one's own as opposed to working or doing things for others, is seen as an opportunity to reduce stress or restore energy.
Archival is a mobile app that helps digital natives hold "me time" by archiving images and text of personal interests. Built upon the philosophy of staying focused, Archival allows users to ensure time aiming at growth in activities for their enjoyment to meet their needs solely. We sometimes need a break from our responsibilities, tasks, news, and externalities in the outside world. Many platforms out in the world allow people to consume information that is happening outside of themselves. However, there is no platform specifically designed for us to secure an archive of our interests.
Time for self-nourishment is vital for the modern digital ecosystem. We need a place where we can ultimately be free from external influences or work or even life—being entirely liberated and pay attention to what purely excites our curiosity or holds our attention. When we forget to take care of ourselves, it could result in a mental or physical state such as burnout or fatigue. Archival helps to secure "me time" by archiving personal interests.
