Beginning with the challenge you addressed for yourself last week, refine the definition of the design problem using the five-whys methodology. Some definitions of the problem should be more specific and some more general than the one you addressed last week for yourself.

The 5 Whys

My proyect gap is to find a better way of fitting the duvet into the cover, but why? [From particular to general]
  • (*)To save time and effort while changing the covers
  • To finish before the household chores
  • To maximize the time used in more important tasks
  • To improve life quality
  • To be happier
Now, let's focus on specifics...
in what way might I find a better way of fitting the duvet into de cover?
  • Making easier to manage the cover and the duvet.
  • Designing an artifact that extends the user's range
  • Using a telescopic machanism that slides overlaping sections
I've realized my first definition was too focus in an artifact... so I have redefined my gap to a higher level of abstraction: to save time and effort wasted into the change of the covers
