Managing mental health and time is my main focus! How I prioritise my plans follows that hehe
I do architecture and clocking in 44 hrs as a FT employee – I’m currently in my masters programme so the workflow centres around research, ideation and production~ these requirements might be different from lecture/ tutorial/ exam type courses~
If you tend to be disorganised like me – this post might help u a little bit
Being organised helped ALOT in being efficient and minimising abortive work! Having a workflow to streamline things helped so much this semester and these four platforms are key:
💗Google docs:
😋keep track of all my notes, ideas and research
😋I plan things to do after class to progress and fill in the points to research/develop on my daily commute.
😋Using headers help so much in cleaning up the volume of information and ideas that come up~ this helps to stay goal-oriented in my weekly tasks, as well as ensure that my presentation sequence is clear and progressive
💗Telegram dump groups:
😋Every idea i have is put down in my tele chats! I have one open for each module/ category
😋All the images, research I do along the way is dumped here so that I can refer to them on my computer, when I am compiling my docs
😋Keeping work, social and interest group chats open on tele can get really messy- you can organise them into groups and pin the most important chats to your main page! For me I pin my modules, and have a folder open for close friends and general architecture chats
💗Google calendar:
😋helps to manage my schedule and section enough time to complete my tasks hehe
😋I put my reservations and locations on here so I dont have to dig through chats to know where to go
😋Colour coding helps so much to show how well-balanced my prep-work-rest time is
💗Google drive:
😋consolidates all my research documents so that I can flip through them easily when I do my assignments
😎my workflow during work is abit messy so I very often skip from project to project every couple of minutes rather than sit down and work at one thing for a long time- keeping these documents in a easy to view place helps me so much
🤠all these things make me quite stressed out so after work I go to the gym to decompress!
