Desk Organizer w/ Modular Index Card Holder

thingiverse

Two of the biggest challenges associated with online learning are distractions and organization. The drawer in the bottom removes one of the biggest distractions: your phone, which is kept out of sight. The left side of the base is for sticky notes, a very useful organizational tool. The far right side has holders for pens or pencils. The slot in the right side is for variety of index card holders, including "Calendar", "To Do", and "Blank", allowing for personalized organizational tools that will benefit the student. 1. One of the main issues I came up against was adjusting to new ideas. I came up with the idea of modular index card holders after I had made the calendar a part of the main design. I had to remove the calendar and make dimensions for a slot and a variety of modules. 2. If I could redesign this again, I would change the sticky note holder. Although it seems to do its job well, I think I could use the space for more and use it more effectively, add more function to the overall design. 3. 3D printing this would help me reflect and improve my design. I could check if the index card slots were wide enough, if the drawer fits right, and if the modules fit right. From there, I could adjust and improve my design.
