Procrastination Lessons Learned from Architecture Studio - Pat at Cal (Video 2) #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Procrastination Lessons Learned from Architecture Studio - Pat at Cal (Video 2)


okay so here we are in Wurster Hall the
actually actually the seventh floor of
Worcester Hall in Berkeley California
and this is where I went to school this
is this is this I mean look around this
is what this was my life for four years
here at UC Berkeley now I didn't go to
school to learn how to do online
business or any sort of business at all
but there are a lot of things that I
learned specifically in architecture
school that I apply now in my everyday
life really and the one thing I want to
talk about is procrastination really and
how to get rid of it and sort of what
comes along with it because in
architecture school they sort of assign
these big projects to these big projects
to us that last you know two or three
months sometimes and you know by the end
of the deadline you'd have to have this
entire project done and then present it
in front of a jury or a panel of other
architects who would sort of then kind
of see how you did or judge your work
and and give you recommendations and
things like that now two or three months
is a really long time to work on a
project and a lot of people I know
including myself at the beginning would
say you know what that's a long time I
can do it later and that's the worst
thing you could ever do especially with
a big project like this during my very
first project you know we'd have two or
three months to work on it I didn't
start working on it really working on it
until maybe a month or even a couple
weeks until the deadline and as a result
of all that time waiting I was just
scrambling and I got a really bad review
in my jury later I found out that that
was absolutely the wrong way to go about
it I mean two weeks is a lot of time but
when you have a project that should be
you know two or three months long which
I know a lot of us have projects that
could potentially be two or three months
long you know writing a book or putting
up a blog post and launching it or
creating a product or anything like that
really you have to break it down into
steps and what a lot of people did on
their own was they created mini
deadlines along the way so it they would
take that big goal and chunk it up into
little goals and sort of work backwards
you know start at the end and then you
know a couple weeks before that what
what they need to have a couple weeks
before that what do they need to have
all the way until to where you're at now
and then by then they would just know
sort of where they were and if they were
on track and if they weren't they can
hustle a little bit more stay overnight
in studio which we often did but it was
funny because a lot of the
people who seemed to work the hardest
you know when we were all in the studio
before our deadlines those that seemed
to work the hardest
typically were the ones that got the
worst reviews and it was because they
were putting all that working at the end
and the people who had already put that
work in you know little by little over
time they weren't stressing at all and
they only have little things to do and
they can work on those even smaller
things that would make their projects a
little bit more perfect and and you know
they ended up getting better reviews as
a result so that's that's something I
learned in architecture school that I
apply every day now boom
