5 Essential Tips For Maintaining Work Life Balance As An Architect


So are you an architect who is tired of making the changes for a client over and over again? Annoying right?

You thought it will be all cool like Ted Mosby. Apparently it is hectic as heck.

In this blog, we are going to talk about some ways through which you will be able to ease out your regular architect life. Let’s get started.

An architecture’s task has not changed over the years. So here is your step towards surviving a design studio.

Note down every detail

No work will be ever complete without pinning it down. You might think that you will remember everything, but at the end of the day, you are bound to forget. So remember to note down every detail necessary to specify your task. In case you don’t have a pen and paper in front of you, take it down in your notepad or on your mobile. For example, you are taking notes for a 3D floor plan design, your notes will allow to ease out the designing process later. This habit also assists you in carefully editing anything that you’re about to publish.

Learn to manage your time

If you are an architecture student, you need to learn to manage your time in the first place. If you are mastering the technique it will be very difficult for you to cope up with everyday work. There are people who brag about staying up all night, let us tell you that it is an extremely bad habit and needs to change soon. Professionals of the industry know that all-nighters are not needed if you can manage your time efficiently.

Avoid last minute changes

If you are someone still struggling to cope up with time management, making changes in the last moment is often a common scenario for you. This is a very negative habit and will lead to a lot of errors. Not only that, but it will also create your negative impression. As a newbie, you don’t want it if you want to pursue a career in architecture. For example in case of designing a 3D floor plan design, if you make the last moment changes, you might get all the measurement wrong and it will affect the overall design of your client’s home.

Creativity is the key

While sketching out any 3D floor plan designing you need to create. Thinking out of the box often intrigues customers and allows you to build a good reputation in the industry. Try to build your own ideas, get them designed, share them and get feedback. Undoubtedly, you will need to put some extra efforts, but compared to the hard work, the opportunities that your ideas may bring are also diverse.

Know that there is no age limit for learning

Architecture field works on the base of new ideas and designs. You should never stop learning and should always be open to ideas.
