Find courses
Scrolling through a course catalogue means deciding for a person who does not exist yet, the one you will be next term. The visual support below breaks the choice into smaller questions you can answer now.

About this visual support
A course catalogue is abstract in two ways at once. The text describes content in words that often say little about what it will actually feel like, and the choice asks you to picture yourself half a year ahead. Two layers of the invisible at the same time, and still the decision is meant to be made in one sitting.
With visual support each course gets a visual handle: an image for the subject, one for where it happens, one for how the work looks. Comparing courses becomes something you can lay out side by side rather than two blocks of text held in the head at once. That lowers the threshold for starting to sort at all.
Make it a two-step process. First sort the pictures into three piles, interesting, maybe, no. Then come back a day later and see which choices still feel right. In Routined you can build steps and add your own pictures for the planning, and try the whole app for 14 days to see if the structure helps the decision.
