Architecture is infamous for handing us tons of work - ALL THE TIME. Usually, what ends up happening, is that we start to lose interest in some of the work. All this work that we don’t want to do begins to pile up, and then we have a huge problem: we enter this perpetual cycle of needing to catch up, therefore the work we do is uninspired, and just plain CRAP.
The simple solution is just doing the work. That way you won’t enter that vicious cycle. But let’s be honest with ourselves : sometimes, we just don’t feel like doing all the work. For example, some of us love building models, others like to render. Some of us like to develop plans. We have no problem doing what we love to do. The problem comes when we have to do what we’re not really interested in. Sometimes you’re okay with working on things you don’t want to work on, but you get completely turned away when you realize it’s a long list of things you don’t actually want to do.
Tell me if this sounds familiar. Person A, let’s call him… let’s call him Pigeon. PIgeon needs to do some work ; he’s gotta work on a project. He’s been pushing this project around all week long, but now, he’s run out of time. He turns on his computer to begin the project, but all of a sudden, he’s grown super tired. So he decides to take a nap, and then he rushes his project when he wake up. I don’t know about you, but Pigeon used to be me ALL the time!
Luckily, I’ve gone through this way too many times and over the years I’ve figured out a system that will pretty much work for anyone, and now I’m showing it to you. It’s gonna take a little bit of getting used to, but if you want the system, you’re going to want to head to my website and pay one small fee of
just kidding, just watch the video:
By the way, check out the description on this video; there I include links to our chat and social media, apps, products and books I recommend, and anything else that’s important at the time!
Now, On to the system!
There are 5 parts to this system
We can think of it like an acronym! First we have the F…. then we have the U… then we have… OKAY! NO! NEVERMIND; THERE IS NO ACRONYM. Let's switch the order around. Hmmm… that doesn’t look any better…
Stop Relying on your memory
Utilize a list
Combine Simple & Complex Tasks
This... is not looking much better…
Find your Trigger
Kill the Distractions
Those are the 5 steps that make up this system.

You should start an architecture podcast!!
Maybe one day!🍻😀
Agree broo !!
Checkout @archgyan .. for some cool architecture podcast
Hey! Check out the description on this video for links to our social media and other relevant things!
I've fallen short and couldn't do the work before the deadline. I was really starting to question myself if I'm worth the course. This video has helped me to understand that it is normal. Wanna hit the road again and try my best.thanks
Hey, great video! In architecture school i fall victim to procrastination all the time, in sitiations were i let work pile up or just don't feel like doing it what me and my friends do is that we get together somewhere, or video call, to work on our individual projects in section we jokingly call coworking. I do a to do list of what i have to get done that day so i dont get lost and what usually happens is that we talk or listen to music while working and it really helps not to get overwhelmed, plus we can help if someone needs it even if we're not working on the same thing.
Thanks for sharing! 😀🍻
Going to have my graduation jury online due to the current lock down
And how do you feel about that? Good luck! 😀🍻
Mine as well, I know that feel mate :x
I also switch listening to podcast and music a lot too! Good thing I see this early since I need a constant reminder to know how to focus especially I need to work on my undergrad project. Thank you for this helpful video! Also to your other videos! It always helps me to get a boost and again focus on why I took architecture! Thank you again for your great contents!!
It helps making that switch every so often! We all need that push every once in a while to stay motivated and keep going. Glad these videos help. Thanks for sharing!
1:01 omg pigeon is literally me now
And I’m here to learn to change thanks once again Mooch
It takes work but you can break out of that; trust me on this one 🍻😃
I actually only came across your channel today but I am LOVING your content so far! You have a great balance between honesty, humour and seriousness. I'm currently an Architecture student and I've really struggled with the first brief for this year but this video helped me a lot to just get my head back into the game. Thank you and I'm keen to check out the rest of your work!
I'm glad you enjoy the content :D 😃🍻
I have tons of job on My desk and somtimes I fallout with some clients it really frustrating . Knowing that I work endlessly and even forget to eat
Hey you have great videos mooch ,
Iam a 1st year student so it's pretty overwhelming as expected, I actually pretty behind, failed a design class, my teachers are not useful most of what I did was self taught and I feel I am not aware don't know the right sources to refer or understand concepts I come across starting from the basics.
Thank you! I know it's tough. Your story so far does not seem outside of what's expected. Just hang in there and try your hardest to learn to not fall behind. This is the most important concept, everything else will come naturally afterward. 🍻😀
@@Moochers thanks for the reply
Luckily for me, I enjoy every goddamn part of being an architect. Structure and framing is a lil boring and tedious, but never to a point where I'm like " I just don't wanna do this" I guess I was born for it
deadline in exactly 1 week. this is just what i needed. thank you so much for the motivation! new sub
I can't thank you enough, you don't have any idea that how much this video made me feel better I have so much to do and my anxiety level was really high and now I'm really relieved that I'm not alone and I can manage everything thanks again
I love your channel! I feel so motivated now to do architecture stuff that I've left behind for a long time.
I appreciate that. I'm really happy to hear you've gained some motivation.
Man decided to wake up and speak fax 🔥🔥
1:28 aaah that really got me😂😂
🤣
I needed this video so much, while trying to finish my thesis when on quarantine...! Thanks! :)
That's awesome ! That sounds cool :) good luck!
Great advice on writing things down!! I do the same and I feel so much better. My problem is more like the developer keeps changing their mind and making me change the plans constantly as I'm trying to meet their deadline....
Hard to stay in task when your being sent constant revisions 😭😭
Ah yes.... that can be frustrating. My favorite is when the client has big dreams, then the budget kicks in, and all your approved designs get stripped down. Then you have to go back and un-design the project 😂😀🍻
Love your videos man
Thanks 😃🍻
Thank you for the reply🍻
I was having same problems you discussed in this video. Quite motivating, Thanks!
Glad to hear it! 🍻😀
The productivity culture makes us care so much about the result, that we forget to enjoy the process. The Forwago helped me to keep improving myself and achieving my goals while still enjoying the process, and I am so grateful because of that.
really a must have at this time..truely appreciate your oberservations
Thank you so much for your videos! They are so helpful as I’m planning on heading into architecture.
I'm really glad to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Underrated channel
So helpful for people like me who want to be an architect
😀🍻
Thank you so much!!!!!
Hello, thanks for the video, I find it quite useful, specially creating the task list and stop constantly thinking about your uncomplete work. :)
Great tips, thank you!
Hi , I'm a fy architecture student. I could relate with this a lot all the procrastination thing and end moment crap work honestly I am just being lazy and I just keep repeating this
I am a girl and I really want to be an architect and I’ve dreamed of this for years and I have lots of sketching buildings, I have a lot of drawings and I am 14 years old I want to start my career by now but sometimes I think if it is Early and I don’t know if I should and another thing I wonder is what do I do how do I start where do I start it from? I am willing to study hard and do everything I want in my life bc I believe in god I I live just once I’m afraid that if I don’t start now it is going to be late I have really good sketching skills and I can really draw my grandpa is also an architect and my dad is an engineer, mechanic, and he does a lot of sketching all the time and he promised me that the will do everything it takes to help me make my dream come true I hope I do !
Thank you bruh. What an amazing content. It really helps me😊 keep it up👍👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🍻😃
Wow love this channel bro !!
Can you talk about what we need to do to build architecture firm? Thanks bro
Thanks! This is something I don't have personal experience with, yet. So I can't talk about it. Hopefully soon; or maybe I figure something out... We'll see! Thanks for the suggestion.
@@Moochers hey ! maybe u should make a video about what to prepare for a new architecture students ! Thanks !
Hey!! This was really helpful.. ❤
Can you do a video on developing concepts and tips on your design project? Thanks ✌
I'm glad it helped! Yes, I have this in my list of future videos. Hopefully I can get to it within the next couple of weeks 🍻😀
Thank you this is brilliant :D
Amazing video
Hey thank you so much for this, it helps a lot! One thing though, the link for the revit course on the description doesn't work, I don't think. Maybe you could check that out?
Is Macbook not a great laptop for an architecture student
Because Revit doesn't support ??
There are MANY people that will tell you that Macs are good for architecture. I am not one of those people 😂 ... I think Macs are great for editing video, photos, etc... which definitely can be helpful in architecture, but other than that, you're better off with a windows laptop. I've never had a Mac but a good few of my friends back at school had Macs. Little by little they would start to switch the Macs out for Windows. Sometimes it was because of limited compatibility of programgs (they tried using bootcamp/ parallels - but it wasn't worth it to them they would mention). They agreed that Macs were great all around but for architecture, their computers felt sub-par when compared to windows.
@@Moochers which laptop are u using?
I think I should go for building a pc
What's your opinion??
@@himanshumakad75 HP Omen (Link in descprition) - I think if you're going to be rendering a lot, building a pc will be cheaper in the long run but ideally, you'll still need to have a laptop (not too powerful) to make plans on the go.
sir, why so much adoration for pigeons? xD
Hi is there a video of architecture for beginners like me who want's to start studying architecture even if I am just high school student?
Hi! I have many videos that can offer insight to the career for a beginner but I don't have a course that's dedicated to that.
👍
Do you recommend the dell XPS 15 7590 for heavy architecture work like rendering and 3D modeling?
It depends which version you get (how much ram/ storage type/ Processor). If you get the XPS15 aim to get the highest RAM (atleast 16 gigs) and the best graphics card you can get; for this, to get an idea, go to VRAY's graphics card benchmark website and see how the one you want scores on it.
For heavy rendering I suggest you use cloud rendering.
I am planning to get the 16 gigs of ram Model with an i7 core processor and a dedicated graphics card. I don’t know how much SSD to get because I’m planning on purchasing an external SSD as well. What amount of storage would you recommend?
Hey 🙋🏻♀️ I'm finishing architecture school this semester... but I don't know how I can find a job relates to it ... can u give me some pice of advice?
Hello sir, will a debit card work to buy your revit course.
Yes :)
i dont know but most of the things which i do ,because of my laziness is almost same as your daily life ...
How do you know my problems
That doesn't looks like a brain to me
What does it look like 🤣
