No, I don't want to Snooze



I get up at 6:30AM.

I set the alarm at 6:15AM because I like to wake up a bit early and enjoy some lazy time in the bed.

Come On, you know what I mean.

And when the alarm snooze again around the correct time, I am off to shower.

I could hear my alarm keep ringing.

And it keep ringing as I get dressed.

Again., I pressed “Snooze” instead of stop.

I can’t find it.

It almost feel like Apple does not want us to wake up.

Just keep snoozing~~~


There was a time that times were easier.

I can find the big line of text “Slide to stop alarm”. I swipe and I turn it off.

There must be a lot of people who accidentally hit the stop button when they have meant to snooze it.

The question is, is it the correct solution for the problem to make the Stop button “unstoppable”.

Or is it just make it slide to snooze and tap to stop.

And it is even to ask users to turn the different ways and configure the best way they want.

Too complicated?

Let’s make it all tap (after all, we just to “Tap” on our real alarm) and add a warning voice, if the snooze keep on, have a voice telling the users that it will be stopped in X minutes.

Can the phone analyze users behavior and optimize the time?

Deloitte’s July 2015 article, Making it personal - 1 in 3 consumers wants personalized product (https://www2.deloitte.com/uk/en/pages/press-releases/articles/one-in-three-consumers-wants-personalised-products.html), talked about the growing need for product customization.36% of the respondents are interested in personalized products; younger generation is more interested in personalization than the older ones.

 Focus group will become less relevant, it still is, but the objective has to expand and include understanding the outliner.

 As we all shift to become the outliner.

 And it can be the alarm clock.

 After all,

 If we can’t get up.

 What about the rest.

4 Techniques to Make Your UX Review Meetings Successful

As a product manager, I often need to sit down with the executive management team to get their feedback on the new designs. It can be a frustrating process and many times I found that I cannot get things down in the time I am allowed to have.
Nevertheless, not having the sign-off from management is terrible for the team, we face high risk of having to re-work (yes, we always need to re-work, but it feels better if it is an improvement), schedule get delayed etc.
Over my 200+ review meetings, i've came to understand the reasons and learnt skills on how to stir the meeting towards an efficient completion, and I want to share them with you.
There are 4 key reasons of an unsuccessful product review meeting: 
1. Audience Lack the Background Knowledge: especially when introducing a new function, executives don’t know what they are looking at, or how the end users will be using such function, you may have sent the presentation before and again in the meeting invite, it doesn’t matter;

2. T…

How to Do Market Research and Competitor Benchmarking

Congratulation, you have validated your business idea from the people around you and it looks good in their eyes. You want to go ahead and start working on the idea.
No matter if you are a veteran in the industry and have good connections to help you start; or your idea came from your personal experience while you have little experience on the market.The first thing you will end up doing is market research.
Remember, you are doing the research to: Make sure the idea in a correct way;Identify what your end users are comparing toUnderstand what challenges you will face;See how you can make money;
You are not doing the research to: Copy what the other companies are doing Exhaust all potential competitors in the market
What I always to, is a 5+1 market analysis. In the beginning, I would start with a 5-day analysis with the following schedule:
Day 1: Find a list of companies that are targeting the same end users you want to approach 
For most of us, finding the list of companies that are target…

Indie Game: What Developers Should Do and PLayers Should Play

What does indie game stands for? What is the market and market growth for indie games?
Indie games are video games that are created without the support of a publisher (E.g. EA games; Microsoft etc). Indie game developers am to bring innovation to the market, they focus on digital channels (APP stores; online marketplace) to distribute the games.
Perhaps James Swirsky And Lisanne Pajot's movie "Indie Game" best visualize the community working on indie games. This is a group of entrepreneurs seeking to realize their ideal, keep refining the work they have done and hope to find others who believe the same.
I researched on the well recognized forums, bloggers, and platform operators (E.f. Steam) to construct a comprehensive list of 100+ popular indie games to try to see what criteria are important for a good indie game. 

My logic is: indie game mostly face serious gamers (people who spend a significant hours of their week playing games), there are certain special requirements fr…
