EFFORTLESSLY
BE MORE CREATIVE +
DO BETTER WORK
WITHOUT THE BURNOUT
DOES IT FEEL LIKE THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH HOURS IN THE DAY? LIKE WORK LIFE BALANCE REALLY TRANSLATES TO PUTTING YOUR CAREER ON THE BACK BURNER?
DO YOU LOOK AT DESIGN MAGAZINES AND WONDER HOW THOSE ARCHITECTS MANAGE TO BE INNOVATIVE EXPERTS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT TAKES EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO SATISFY CLIENTS, KEEP YOUR TEAM PRODUCTIVE AND MEET DEADLINES?
What if I told you that you could be innovatve, inspire your team and your clients with higher quality work while putting in fewer hours? I'm Angela Mazzi, a full time architect and firm partner who is an expert in design for wellness. I've had my work published in trade publications and academic journals, and spoken at industry conferences and on mainstream stages like TEDx and South by Southwest. I'm also a single mother of two kids and creator of Architecting, a community to help architects live their best life that includes a podcast and regular Clubhouse rooms. And no, I don't have a nanny, a cleaning service, relatives who help out or extra hours in my day. I also am willing to bet I don't have any more energy than you do.
You see, during my first two years of architecture school, I bought into the CULTure" of the all nighter. I even started drinking diet Coke, which I don't even like, to help me stay awake. That is until I developed chronic fatigue syndrome. I was so weak, my parents begged me to take a semester off. I didn't listen and after spending the summer nearly bedridden from exhaustion, went back for my third year. But that year was different. I could no longer abuse my body or take my energy level for granted. I had to learn how to work smart not hard because I was no longer physically capable of putting in long hours in studio.
Creative professions are notorious for undervaluing time - what I call the downward spiral of iteration. Like me, from your college days, you were probably taught that more hours equaled better work. It's time to bust this myth once and for all. Because the truth about creativity is that it comes from using your brain differently. From making uncommon associations and being insightful about the problem. That's the opposite of being burned out. I want to show you what I've learned including how you can win back more hours of your day for quality of life.
Even if you have a lot on your plate and think you don't have time to learn something new, I know that you can do this! I've distilled what I've learned through my own research into human behavior as well as how I've managed my own successful career over the past 25+ years into a few easy to use techniques that won't feel like just one more thing for you to do.
