Day 2 · Where does the time go?
Evening Blocks
Four evenings. Every message takes time from something.
Decide when each student answers each message, and watch what the evening's blocks do.
Day 2 · The lesson and this game
An interruption can cost more than the seconds it lasts.
In the lesson, answering a message took Holly twenty seconds. Finding her place took two minutes, and her phone counted only the twenty seconds.
Your role: You're helping four students through one evening each. Each evening is a column of blocks, and messages arrive during homework.
Your goal: reach each evening's goal. You finish when all four evenings are done.
2Choose
For each message: answer now, after homework or tomorrow.
3Watch
Dark is phone time, which the phone counts. Striped is getting back in, which it doesn't.
