我们的目标是帮助有创造力的作家让拖延变得富有成效。对八位创意作家的采访突出了两个关键做法：过度批评，完美主义和消极的自我评价使他们失去动力，减少了他们的产出;创造性的声音，大声说出他们的文字促进了反思，激发了新的可能性。一项结构化的观察研究比较了作者对自己预先录制的文本和计算机生成的声音的感知。后者使它们远离文本，并提供了新的视角。我们开发了SonAmi，一个交互式杯垫，每当作者举起杯子时，它就会发出选定对话的声音。两位创意作家说，SonAmi让他们觉得自己在听“别人的文字”或“播客”，这有助于他们识别和改善写作问题。我们展示了有形的创造力支持工具如何建立在作者现有的策略上，即表达自己的话，并利用自然发生的事件，例如，喝一口咖啡，在不干扰创造性流动的情况下支持有效的拖延。
Our goal is to help creative writers make procrastination productive. Interviews with eight creative writers highlighted two key practices: Over Criticizing, where perfectionism and negative self-appraisal demotivates them and reduces their output; and Creative Voicing, where speaking their text aloud promotes reflection and inspires new possibilities. A structured observation study compared writers’ perception of their own, pre-recorded text versus computer-generated voices. The latter distances them from their text and offers new perspectives. We developed SonAmi, an interactive coaster that voices selected dialog whenever the author lifts their mug. Two creative writers said SonAmi made them feel they were listening to “someone else’s text” or “a podcast”, which helped them identify and improve writing issues. We show how tangible creativity support tools can build upon authors’ existing strategies i.e. voicing their own words, and take advantage of naturally occurring events e.g., taking a sip of coffee, to support productive procrastination without interfering with creative flow.
