laziness or ruthlessness - getting what you want out of being a designer

BE RUTHLESS - grab. write. move. draw. type. sketch. doodle. do whatever it takes.

UTILIZE YOUR RESOURCES - that’s what they're there for. Don't be lazy - laziness and contentedness are the same thing and will sap the life out of you, leaving your colleagues to step all over you and take those opportunities that you were too busy contemplating instead of getting.

SET REASONABLE GOALS - don't scare yourself about getting loads of work done in an impossible amount of time - break up the task into mentally manageable portions so large tasks seem easier to tackle.

DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME - its better to spend the time now to sort things out then keep going through this same issues over and over in your head. remember, DON’T KEEP MAKING EXCUSES.

DO NOT PROCRASTINATE - this is worse than slow death. putting it off and subconsciously finding distractions, or worse - making up excuses why it can wait, or even worse - blaming someone else for why it has to wait, will bring you nothing positive and only negatives. THERE ARE NO SECOND CHANCES - make every moment count as if there were no tomorrow.

BE that person YOU would like to work with. Have the guts to recognise the things you can't change and the sense to recognise that the only person you can change is YOU.
