This document discusses self-tracking tools for mindful technologies. It addresses how self-tracking can influence attention, intention, and attitude. The document seeks feedback on how self-tracking tools augment attitudes and behaviors. It suggests design heuristics should be actionable, personalized, and explorable. Finally, it provides contact information and thanks for mentors who provided feedback.

1. Attention
Self-tracking for Intention Attitude
Mindful Technologies
 Design Heuristics
 Actionable addresses Attention
 Personalized addresses Intention
 Explorable addresses Attitude
 We want feedback towards our research agenda.
 How do your self-tracking tools augment your attitudes or
behavior? What are important heuristics for your self-
tracking?
 How would you apply these to your context?
 What are the important questions to address?
