Abstract
Mindfulness has aroused great interests in the past few decades and researches on mindfulness conducted have suggested that it is related to increase in awareness, creativity, quality decision-making, and sustainable behaviour in addition to many other benefits associated with it. As design is largely about decision-making and creativity and resource-sensitive design is related sustainability, there seems to be some correlation between mindfulness and resource-sensitive design. This paper presents a theoretical study on how mindfulness can be instrumental in resource-sensitive design and provides a research agenda on this topic.
