| Project | On Track / Sam Catania |
| Role | I’m your social and friendly friend. I’m always down to do something fun. I care about my craft, and I’m willing to put in the time to make something good if it matters. 20/Male, student at Stanford |
| Goal | I want to stay on top of tasks from wildly different areas of life (academics, extracurriculars, and his band) while maintaining lots of time for friendship. |
| Motivation | I want to spend time with others because I get fuel off of other people’s energy, so I need to be out and about. My interests make me happy, and striving for happiness is the goal of life. |
| Conflict | Since I have so much going on, I find myself constantly having to switch between domains while ‘working’ and I can never stay on task. This makes everything take longer and then I have less time for my social life. |
| Attempts to Solve | I make lots of checklists. I try to make progress on one thing at a time. Working on different things in different places helps me stay on track. |
| Setting/ Environment | I can’t work in one place. I’m always all around campus. If I stick in any place for too long, I get bored and distracted. |
| Tools | Most of the work happens on my computer. When I’m practicing music, I use my bass guitar. |
| Skills | Extroverted, confident, charismatic, kind, funny |
