#8 EXPLORE.  Go off the deep end, then come back.

Seriously.  Do things you think are completely ridiculous.  Sometimes finding the best design for a particular project is only achieved when traveling from one extreme to another.

#18 Produce More.

More drawings, more models, more experimentation, more research, MORE.  Producing more work does not mean to hurry frivolously to make a lot of stuff with no meaning.  It means to take less time on any given task all at once.  Having more work is important because it will allow an eclectic array of conditions to learn from when speaking with your teacher or T.A. during a critique.  If you are given an assignment which requires 5 Drawings and 2 Models, then it will not do you any good to make 2 over analyzed drawings and half of a very nice model.  While craft and the care of making is key to any amount of process, you cannot allow yourself to spend too much time on one thing.  If you are one of those people who can’t seem to finish the entire assignment, then you should consider these few attributes to working faster.

1. Make decisions earlier on in the design process; even if you are upset with it.  (Thats why we are going to give you the next assignment.)
2. Remember that at this point, you are never really “finished”.  Understand that you can always go back and touch up everything once you have a holistic set of work.
3. Move back and forth between models and drawings.  Work on one until you get stuck, then move on to another.  Revisit each piece as needed and use these elements to help each other grow, rather than do everything so episodically. 
4. Finally, make a schedule or mini calendar for yourself.  Think more about the time you will allow to make a decision, rather than the time it will take to compete something.  Decision making is one of the biggest culprits in why it is taking you so long to finish.

Apabila kita redha atas sesuatu yang mengecewakan hati kita maka percayalah Allah akan menggantikan kekecewaan itu dengan sesuatu yang tidak dijangka.
