Routines are an important element of day-to-day work life, supporting people in structuring their day around required tasks. Efectively managing these routines is, however, experienced as challenging by many -an issue further amplifed by the current work from home lockdown measures. In this paper we present Rainmaker, a tangible device to support people in their working life in the context of their own homes. We evaluate and iterate on our prototype through two qualitative studies, spanning respectively three days (N = 11) and 15 days (N = 2). Our results highlight the perceived advantages of the use of a primarily physical rather than digital tool for work support, allowing users to stay focused on their tasks and refect on their work achievements.
