    #10 The Fight Against All-Nighters

    #10 The Fight Against All-Nighters

    In this episode → All-nighters and working incredibly late is just a common attitude in our industry, to the point where some students feel as though it is a badge of honour. But it's really just part of this cycle of toxicity that has been around for a very long time. Is it because we are poor at time-management or because we undervalue ourselves so much?

    I explore the topic further in this episode, touching on points made in my recent article on the Architect's Journal.

    #8 Prioritising Breaks and Enjoying Deadlines
