“We Need to Go in…” Family App

Why?

When you need to go somewhere on time (wedding, theater etc.), and you don’t want to nag the kids again and again.

How?

Install the app on your and the kids’ phones. When you need to get going, maybe an hour before, you set up the nagging alert on your own phone. The app will start nagging the kids: “you’ll need to leave for the theater in an hour”, then “… in half an hour”, “… 15 minutes ” etc. The app will use visuals and sound (regardless of the sound settings on the kids’ phone.)

 

Get More Episodes From a Series First Season

Why?

Sometimes when you watch a TV series you like, on the second or third season you have a certain nostalgia for the feeling you had when the series just started. Those few episodes, or maybe the whole first season was somehow different.

How?

If the series is successful in its later seasons, you can create new episodes in the same style, atmosphere and corresponding to the plot lines that existed in the first season. You can insert them between other already well-known episodes to expand on them.

 

An Observation Game To Improve Your Capabilities

Why?

Train your observations skills by watching others (at a party for instance), writing your observations and your deductions based on these observations. Then find out all you can about the person or persons you observed, and take notes of what you find out. Lastly, compare your two notes and write an analysis of the differences and why you think these differences exist.

How?

Use a notebook or maybe an app built just for that. Either way, there should be the following notes for each experiment: initial observations, deductions, facts after getting to know the subjects, analysis of the differences and the potential reasons for them.

 

“State of Mind” Music Play List Repository

Why?

Sometimes you need to get into the right mood. Maybe your kids irritated you, and then you need to work, be creative, find a solution to a problem you’ve been working on etc. Music helps, and people have their own experiences and preferences as to what music does it for them.

How?

Have an online repository, where you can create a playlist with what works for you for a given mood you want to get into. You can also check others’ lists and try them out when you need to get into a certain mood and you don’t have a playlist you can start with.

 

Want To Create A New Game? Try With The Help Of Others

Why?

Many have ideas for a new game but might never develop it.

How?

A site where anyone can write his game idea, how to play, rules, when and how someone wins etc. Let others jump in and make suggestions. When a version is decided upon as ready to play, everyone can play it together and experience how it goes. The more you play the more you can all refine it until there is a mature version that can be released.
