Is It Really a Good Idea to Micromanage Your Life With an App?

When I arrive for my meeting with Sara Whitestone, a 28-year-old neuroscientist based in Bordeaux, I’m sweaty and five minutes late. Whitestone is already putting my delay to good use by calling her mother in the U.S. Immediately, I realise that she and I aren’t cut from the same cloth. In life, you have two types of people: Those who organise their time, and those who run around chasing it like headless chickens.

Whitestone works for an international group based in Switzerland: It’s a time-consuming career with weekly travel obligations. One of her favourite project management tools is Jira, basically “a to-do list, but on steroids,” as she describes it. “I live and breathe my to-do list at work,” she says. “I'm juggling so many projects and have so many things I need to remember.” Her favourite apps are synchronised to her personal calendar, too - which she shares with her boyfriend.

At New York City Ballet, A Dancer Turns Costume Designer
This collaboration with Justin has been truly thrilling. When he sent me the epic Aaron Copland score along with images of esteemed Jeffrey Gibson’s wildly colorful canvas drops — over 100 colors! — and said “Here’s your palette,” I was ecstatic. I love to play with color combinations for leotards and put things together where you can’t quite decide if they clash or look amazing. The cut of my designs for this ballet are quite classic and simple. It’s all about the colors. No two dancers are alike, yet they ebb and flow into distinguishable little color families throughout the piece. There is something very freeing about collaborating with Justin, especially on this project. He often gives loose parameters and lets you run with it, but this was a true color free-for-all Rubik’s cube of a situation and I couldn’t have loved it more.
