Journey Map Persona
The character that I created is named Soji. Soji is a senior undergraduate student who is craving more alone time amidst the craziness of her life at Stanford. However, she is uncomfortable with being alone with her thoughts, so, whenever she is alone, she ends up spending over an hour on her phone on social media. She has tried things like the apple time limiter or self control but quickly stopped using both as they did not get her to stop using her phone as much. Outside of this, she has so many talents and interest—she cooks, she reads, she writes, etc. She is also a woman of routine, with several activities and habits scheduled into each of her days.
Throughout the course of the 5-day study, there was some variation in her screen time but not by a ton. The same prompts of screen time usage existed, like when needing a break from work and having alone down time between activities and at night. But, one of the days, she was able to get in a good long walk for alone time. Hopefully, she is able to be more comfortable with her aloneness and start to spend more of that time doing activities she loves alone.
