Jobs-To-Be-Done Statements
Master JTBD Statement
When the noise of the day gets too loud and I need a moment to step back,
I want to be met with the lyrics to a song that speaks to where I am right now,
so I can find a moment of clarity, reflect, and carry on.
Functional Jobs
JTBD-1: Daily Song Discovery
When I begin my day,
I want to be greeted with the lyrics to a song I hadn't thought about for a while,
so I can start from a place of intention rather than noise.
JTBD-2: In-the-Moment Reflection
When the day is overwhelming and I need a quiet moment,
I want to arrive at the lyrics to a song that speaks to how I feel without having to search,
so I can step back and ground myself quickly.
JTBD-3: Discovering What Resonates
When I read through a song whose lyrics strike a chord,
I want to mark it as meaningful and return to it easily,
so I can build a personal shortlist of songs that do the most work for me.
JTBD-4: Growing the Collection
When I discover a song with lyrics worth keeping,
I want to add it to my collection without friction,
so I can ensure the library grows with me rather than staying frozen in time.
JTBD-5: Finding the Right Song
When I am struggling to name how I feel,
I want to browse or filter by mood or theme,
so I can find the song whose lyrics best reflect where I am in that moment.
Emotional Jobs
EJ-1: Feeling Grounded
When the world is moving too fast,
I want to read through something honest and familiar,
so I can feel less adrift and more like myself.
EJ-2: Feeling Less Alone
When I am going through something difficult,
I want to read the lyrics to a song someone else wrote about the same feeling,
so I can feel held by the music rather than isolated by the moment.
EJ-3: Starting Well
When I sit down at the start of a new day,
I want to be offered a full song worth sitting with,
so I can carry something into the day that is mine, not the algorithm's.
Social Jobs
SJ-1: Sharing What Resonates
When a song's lyrics say something I cannot,
I want to share them simply and without ceremony,
so I can offer something real to the people around me who might need it.
SJ-2: Leaving Something Behind
When I think about the people who mattered to me,
I want to curate a collection of songs that reflects what I believed in,
so I can leave something worth passing on.
