Thursday I had the distinct pleasure to attend Jessica Hische's Society of Design lecture at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg. I have been a fan of her work for the past year or so, so this was an especially exciting lecture.
While a portion of her lecture was focused on type design (& of course an obligatory portfolio showcase), she had some great things to say about life & career as well. One of the biggest points she brought up (& something she is somewhat well known for) is procrastiworking. Procrastiworking, she says, is a guide to your calling; not to be confused with procrastinating, procrastiworking is the work you do while putting your other work off.
Some other great points she brought up included...
- Diversify your projects to avoid burn out
- Diversify the things that satisfy you; don't put all your eggs in the same basket
- Find what you like about your job now (whether that be your actual paying job or what you do as a student) & find a way to do that more
