Web, wellness and getting sh*t done

In an industry that doesn't sleep and where there's probably something new to learn or try released by the time you’ve finished reading this paragraph, it’s no wonder we get overwhelmed and sometimes lose focus.

There's a lot to be said about pressing pause, resetting and unfolding that roadmap often to see if you’re still going in the right direction.

Being a brilliant designer is great, but being a brilliant designer who understands balance, how to manage time, how to focus and be aware of when to put the foot down on the pedal or that you might need to pull over for a nap… well, this person becomes a super designer.

Coming from a person who juggles multiple projects and whose main passion is to see those around her succeed and grow, Patima is often asked how she finds the time and the energy to “do it all”. How does she keep her team inspired and encourage them to push their comfort zones and avoid burning out?

In this talk, Patima will be taking everyone through her take on web/life balance, managing time, working on that side project and, spoiler alert, it’s pretty much real talk about getting sh*t done.

Presented by Patima Tantiprasut at Managing Design 2017
