@initiatearchitecture: When starting your own studio you’ll often hear, ‘it must be great to have control of your own time and do what you want?’ Yes, this is great but i’ve also found it one of the biggest challenges of solo-business. When you’re the only person to produce the work, manage projects, market the practice etc, it’s so easy to become chaotic. Some days you might start sketching out ideas for a new project only to be distracted by a phone call from a contractor or an email from a client, work that’s absolutely necessary but disrupts the creative focus and flow you need as a designer. The only successful strategy I’ve found to control this is to implement Paul Graham’s Maker’s vs Manager’s Schedule which I first heard about from Eric Reinholdt of 30X40. I now plan my days as best I can around a schedule of AM making and PM managing, pushing all meetings, email responses and phone calls to the afternoon which frees up the mornings - when I feel most creative and inspired - for the work we all enjoy most. 2024 is the year i’m making every effort to protect my time and creative energy - I’m positive this will translate into better architecture for my clients. Let me know any tips that work for you. I’ll keep you updated with how I get on. #architecture #archipreneur #solopractice #soloarchitect #designstudio #architecturestudio #creativestudio
