If you want to be a designer...

Salam.
Just sharing.
A friend of mine asking me how I get all the time I ever wanted...I mean, I am working, a wifey, a mom, with housechores and everything u can imagine... and I cook dinner, do laundry on weekdays, sweep n moping the floor, and sometimes even scrubbing toilets too (during weekdays ok guys!)...
Well, here's my secret:

I always hv my sketchbook n my notebook with me...
Sketch book for ideas n conteng2 whatever I see and what I want to do... ( I use recycle A4 paper and bind them)
Notebook  for taking orders/ quantity / email / fav website / stocks..etc
And not to forget my thumbdrive (aka pendrive as I don't hv a laptop) as your memory server...

"Sketches bring your dream come true, computer tools doing the job more realistic"
-Adieda Taib

When I see good design/motive, I draw/jot down.
and I cut my lunch time...n do sewing @ office
I do sketches every now n then...
I only 'mengadap' my computer when I satisfied with my design...
So I don't waste my time sketching ideas with computer tools without ideas in my head!..
If you want to be a designer (be it fashion designer, interior designer, book designer, advertising, cake designer, food designer, artist, painter, architect, web designer or anything related to design), always hv a sketchbook with you...and it can be a nice proper sketch book so you can show to client also! (sometimes they want to see manual sketchy ideas)...
At least they know you are full of ideas!
