Time Management, Toxic Productivity, Procrastination

In this episode, we do our weekly check-in with our submission and presentations, how we have been feeling leading up to the days of submission and working hard, and entering the end of Term One and Christmas holidays. We then move onto the topic of time management with scheduling, using a planner/bullet journal and our thoughts with checking off to-do lists. We also talk about the prevalence of toxic productivity in architecture or university in general, and how to combat that, alongside with the well-known problem of procrastination: why we procrastinate (conflict within ourselves), whether it can be beneficial, and how to overcome it.

Are Aesthetics Important in Architecture/Architectural Education?

In this episode, we do our weekly update of our week after reading with a history field trip and good tutorials, then we move onto our topic of aesthetics in architecture and also architectural education (in our projects). We talk about what aesthetics are; functionality vs aesthetics and the saying of 'form follows function' in architecture; composing a hero image for our project in architecture school, and developing an eye for aesthetics as a designer and also in real life. We finally wrap it up with how we think aesthetics/visuals influence our design projects and how we balance it with more grounding aspects, and why aesthetics could be important.

FOMO & Social Media | Reading Week Catchup

In this episode, we first caught up with each other for our reading week and how we felt over the week: Yen Shan going on holiday and Glory feeling low in energy. Then we discuss our experiences of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) in secondary school and university, why we get FOMO due to unhappiness and insecurities, how we feel inclined to say yes to everything despite having too much on our plates already (especially in first year!). Then we also discuss our experiences and negatives with social media, particularly Instagram stories and the pressures of posting and the idea of the. 'highlight reel'. We also go through tactics and ways to overcome our FOMO: being grateful, reflection and surrounding yourself with good people.
