This letter is for you...

Dear Brother, Dear Sister,

 This letter is for you...

Game lovers, drawers, procrastinors we are alike. like you, I fall easily in the proscratination trap, lazy lands and distractions. For my numerous pitfalls, I ask myself myriad of questions on why I did not do what I was supposed to. Guilt, self-critiscism haunted me as well as this question:

 Why are you?...Here?... Like that? 

 To forget my pain, I fed it with SIMS, video games, drawings, alcohol and television.

 Hopefully I found a solution and cannot wait to share it with you.

 First bring together two ideas which appear at first to be in opposition: 

 Life is, but a dream {12-D GAME} said Beyonce. 

 Like any hero in your favourite game, you need three tools:
- A mission pad
- An Appointment pad
- A thought pad

 A mission pad is nothing else than a TO-DO LIST. The tool is ultimately for incremental design ;), you write new task which you need to accomplish in order to get to the next level of your life plan. Small tips > use back and front of your pad to separate tasks related to your professional life from your personal life > Draw some tick boxes, cross them if you've started a task. Fill them up when you have completed it.

 An Appointment pad is nothing else than an AGENDA for better anticipating your position in space and time. Alike a video games, we move from place to place, the agenda just remind us where we have to be at different stage of our journey.

 Together, the mission and appointment pad remind us where we have to be, what we have to do, ask and accomplish.

 Finally the thought pad. It is better to separate thoughts, meeting notes from things to do and appointment. Use your thought pad to write your new ideas, questions, drawing brainstorming. If they are some tasks appearing in your thoughts, copy them back in your mission pad. Why? Because any thoughts are quickly forgetten in the midst of the thought pad.

 Here we go, I hope those little words inspired you and you will know how to apply it.
Good luck in your journey

 Your sister, mlg

SUCCESS is A TEAM EFFORT

Reading Anna Wintour harsh advice for fashion students resonated with me (click here for full article). I have been working with Sandrine Nyota for now two months. Interestingly, the young designer follow  unconsciously  to the letter Anna Wintour advices and I think they are worth following: STARTING YOUR OWN LINE DOESN’T GUARANTEE SUCCESS Ultimately, this apply to anyone who want to start their own business. Although I will say, success can only be determined by the individual in the driving seat as success for some is different for others. It remains supporting other successes by working for another designer or company can be extremely rewarding as we learn the importance of having a team around us to achieve greater high. Indeed there is not just one road. FOR GOD’S SAKE, FIND SOME GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT Getting a job is just so much more than covering the end of the month, it is also about developing relationships by helping others. At the end, it is a gain ...
