Bam : 

The Off Switch from Work

Designed by : Pang Shi Jie

Under the Supervision of Associate Professor Patrick Chia.

Through ritualizing a sense of closure from work, Bam empowers people to take small steps to overcome their unhealthy work-from-home habits that affect their health and lifestyles over time. By placing Bam on the home work desk, it immediately reminds users to mentally and physically unwind after work by letting go of work-related worries and productivity guilt.
