Capturing/Analysis of Data

Data gathering could happen through a couple different means. The most straightforward approach is to have a survey sent out asking people when/where they spend time working and playing. A more exciting method would be to have some kind of background app on your phone and/or computer that monitors what the user is doing to the best of its abilities to determine roughly whether the user is working or playing. For example, if the user is using her computer and she is on the Blackboard, or some course website, work is probably happening, while Reddit, Facebook etc. indicate the absence of work usually. Furthermore, if the user has the phone on the person, and the phone detects that the person is in some kind of movement, this also indicates that there is no work.
