Focusing on domestic activities
To narrow down my project, I decided to focus on domestic activities, in particular those that I personally find time consuming but essential such as teeth brushing, cooking, dish washing and applying make up. As part of my research I taped and timed them in order to document and analyse every action that is unnecessary so that I could find a way to minimise time spend by only changing my interactions with the objects and environment.

Makeup application
As part of my exploration of saving time by changing human behaviour by action acceleration I attempted to do some of activities in a specific time spam such as 1 min, 30 sec, 15 sec, 5 sec. During my timed makeup challenge I decided to also record exactly what items I used in order to narrow down to the most essential items in the whole kit. Moreover, during this challenge I realised how much time it actually takes to unscrew some lids (both in makeup and teeth brushing challenge) and how it prevented me from completing the challenge in time.
