Self Development

I need motivation and a prompt from someone who can guide me at first, I feel like if it is only self directed I wouldn't be encouraged to go.
I wouldn't go there to learn from others, it would be my own thing for myself.

Actvities
Lego
Boardgames
Rock painting
Playdough - in a social group, chat and play.
Physical games like potonk

Insights 

• I would go for a short time to get away from uni work, but realistically I wouldn't spend that long. 
• Would be something to do to take my mind off things. 
• First time I would go for 5min, then go back for longer. 
• I am intrugued, that is what would get me in there the first time. 
• Playful is relaxing
• Group activities could be fun, because I don't have to think too much it is fun. 
• Big tables with multiple stations, not knocking things over. 

Do you think you would use this space? 

I would if I felt comfortable, there would need to be other people there doing things. 

Guided - a host there to make me feel comfortable. 

Promt could be helpful, at first I would go in with friends then be shown around, maybe an orientation? I could then go alone once I know how it works and feel comfortable. 

When would you use this space? 

When I'm stressed I can't get out of it, I prefer to work through just to get it done. So I would use a space like this to come in after a hand in to wind down and rejuvenate. 

I would come at the beggining of semester to kill time in between things, as long as it was an inviting environment that I want to spend time in. 

Where do you go now? 

Just watch TV at home to relax. I don't really escape stress, I just keep working until it's done.

Insights

• Good to be able to work on both uni stuff and others creative things. Working on your uni topic in a different way could be really helpful. 
• Talking to others can help me from going around in circles with my own project.
