Procrastination significantly impacts productivity by delaying important tasks and creating a cycle of stress and inefficiency. This is often fueled by external distractions like noise, notifications, and messy spaces, which break focus and make it harder to re-engage with tasks. Disorganization further compounds the issue, as a chaotic workspace can overwhelm the mind, making it difficult to prioritize tasks or locate necessary resources, which in turn leads to further delays. For many, these factors become ongoing hurdles that reduce the amount of time spent on meaningful, goal-oriented work.

Inspired by these issues, EchoGlow was designed to address noise reduction and workspace organization, evolving through multiple design iterations to blend functionality and aesthetics.
EchoGlow’s development journey included feedback-driven improvements that shaped its dual-purpose focus on organization and minimizing noise distractions. Sustainability remained central, with recycled denim insulation used as the sound-absorbing material, while flat-pack shipping optimizes its carbon footprint.
Beyond practical benefits, EchoGlow introduces a smart lighting feature that enhances both form and function. The ambient lighting fosters a productive environment and can be customized through IFTTT to signal notifications or missed calls with colour changes, making it both visually appealing and responsive.
EchoGlow ultimately combines immersive acoustics, smart lighting, customizable storage, and a sleek shelf, presenting a stylish solution that helps users create an organized, distraction-free workspace.
