There was some times where my time management has always been an issue.

I take on a lot of work.

I always say yes to a lot of jobs and stack them.

I'm rarely working on one project at a time.

Even now, I'm working on multiple projects.

So there's always this process of stacking, but I've always been very good at...

managing the priority so managing what's needed now and who's been working with me first and then delivering out the time between these roles and not letting it affect the outcome of the quality of what I'm producing so it just works for me and I like to be busy I like to be working on more than one thing at a time

Unless it's like something that's huge and taken up all of my time, but I like to take on jobs that I know aren't going to just run me into the ground.

I love a challenge, but I want to have time to still work on personal stuff, which is what I also try and cram in now on top of fatherhood, which is throwing a lot of things out the window.

I think I have not a system, but I have sometimes red flags that pop up on certain jobs.

And I normally get that from, I guess, the conversations I have with the designers or the design directors or whoever it is that's briefing on the job.

And it's normally if it's certain aspects of doing type design and making it move that I really lend into my style.

And it's why I normally get brought on to jobs.

But there's been some briefings and jobs in the past where it's been a bit of type design, but then they've also started to shoehorn in other things that I know I'm really not comfortable doing.

and that's the point where i could probably do this and it's going to be really tough like to do and i might learn some things about it but i don't want to be doing this for every job i want to stick to the type design and the type motion and that's what i'm interested in the passion they have for it and the ideas they have involved it's just not right for me basically

And I think that's it.

I still feel like there's areas of type that I have to explore and there's things I want to learn.

Like maybe it's like 3D type or it's frame by frame type.

So there is other things that I want to challenge myself to do, but I try to be quite straight up when it comes to, especially like client work and knowing what I'm comfortable with.

And I do take on challenges.
