something i remember you saying in your original 1 hour design challenge post is that it “forced you to focus on the form”
i think perhaps sticking to challenges that are dominated by their challenge in form would make for less of a daunting task, and probably more fun.
i rememeber your original - the baby-rattle\teething ring… although i don’t recall (or if you setup) the challenge you setup for yourself, but i could imagine it being as vague as “Design a toy for a child under 12 months” or as specific as “design a teething ring” or “design a rattle”…
i’ll think about this. This really seems like it comes down to Defining the problem type of stuff…
