Hi

I am Product Design Engineering student and working on an individual project on trying to improve the desk space

If you could please quickly fill out this quick survey it shouldnt be more than 5 minutes that would be great thanks

If you have any suggestions or personal problems feel free to let me know

Who knows, if this is successful I may even have the means of bringing it to market

Thanks again to anyone willing to dedicate some time to help me

Done. I wish question 9 had a more open ended answer as organizational tools and items are basically a niche need situation so its really hard to place a $ value on something if yoiu don't know if you want/need it until the need arises.

What's the difference between "content consumption" and "web browsing" though?

My guess, judging by the other options, content consumption is something like watching youtube, while web browsing is going through websites.

Youtube is a website too 

It's a website with people trapped inside, it's different! /s

Ergonomics are a funny thing. I bought a really nice office chair for good ergo but found sitting in it the "proper way" frustrates the heck out of me and makes the rest of my desk setup unusable bc it's so high up my legs are contacting the underside of my desk lmao. 

 

As for organization I have bought some organizational items in the past a monitor riser (which I guess counts as both bc it provides a space to place items as well as raise the monitor for ergonomics), and a headphone holder that clips to the side of my desk. 

 

Overall spent maybe 60 cad on those two items but I found both to be worth it. I know some people don't really care about either aspect, but anyone in more of a desk station "power user" role probably should.

Filled it out for you, currently a nursing student so I feel your pain for assignments!

Thanks for filling out the survey and the comment

Yeah chairs are difficult one since the ideal sitting position often feels stiff and unnatural and different for everyone

 

Also hard to figure out who to cater to more, since there probably a lot more power users here but also a lot of people just work of a laptop so trying to find something that both could use and from from.

Yeah that is true, I am guessing people are willing to pay for more if they feel they can get more out of the product.

It is a bit of an arbitary question just throwing a number in there but i guess it gives an idea of the scale of the issue and how much people are willing to invest into the issue.
