Aim high

Now that we’re almost at the end of the year, it’s a good time to start thinking about setting your goals for next year.

Take 5 minutes and do it now – think of three goals you want to achieve as a designer in 2023.

While you’re doing this, remember to aim high.

Write them down on the same day/month in next year’s diary.

“There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living"
– Nelson Mandella

Clear the way for rest

In preparation for your time off these holidays, think about the things you can do to make sure you have a decent rest and get rid of ‘computer face’. Here’s some ideas…

• Include your holiday dates in your email signature/autoreply
• Delete work apps of your phone (like Gmail and Slack) until you get back to work
• Be more intentional with what you consume (try crowding out social media with good books)
• Set boundaries with family and friends
