In the modern society, the number of single youth households is constantly increasing, and they are experiencing various mental problems such as anxiety and lethargy due to repetitive daily lives, employment difficulties, and financial difficulties. To solve these young people's mental problems, we propose the analog living prop brand: ThalKak. Using the concept of conversion called 'ON&OFF' by this lever, we developed the 'Log System' that gives achievement at the beginning of the day and the 'Lighting System' that gives achievement at the end of the day. These two products give young people a sense of accomplishment by inducing small actions at home, and these small experiences of success form a sense of self-efficacy. In the long run, it is ThalKak's vision that young people can achieve emotional recovery and bring about a positive transition in their daily lives.
