Assignment reflection to assist time management for masters and future work

The following are the time considerations I need to make for compiling assignments/ sheets whether it is for my work place or masters, having a time frame will help me organise myself much better. 

Concept for design- once a week across 3 weeks, a lot of thinking and doodling


Sheet layouts- 1 day (though this changes depending on the content and sheet arrangement required) 


Planting plan

Research- 1 week

Drawing up- 2 days

Annotating- 2 days


GA Hardworks

Research- 2 days for materials


Construction details research- (for 6 drawings) 3 days and pencilling them up

Drawing up- 3 days

Annotating- 2 days

(Not including research) 


Design, GA

Drawing up- 1 day

Rendering- 2 days

Annotating and sheet layout- 1 day 


Visualisations

SketchUp model and drawing outlines- 1 day

Rendering- 2 days 


Writing an essay 2,000 words

Research- 1-2 weeks

Writing- 1 week, reviewing/editing take a 1 week break then it will take 3-4 days including any re structuring 

(The shorter the essay, the longer it takes me to write as I am conscious of how concise it should be)


Dissertation

Research- 3-5 weeks

Writing- 2 weeks 


*Note: consider time taken out for technical difficulties 

Remember it takes time to get into the flow of work so initial working speed it always a little slower especially when starting a module 

Try to stay in one setting associated with one module e.g. library for sus tech 

Diamonds are created from pressure, just like your work with time pressure! 

I work best doing one module at a time rather than switching between multiple

These time estimations are for focused times and are treated as 9-5 days

CAD TIPS

- Select A, and OVERKILL if its a slow file, reduces overlapping lines

-Printing a piece of a CAD drawing, create a sheet size on paper space and a viewport- print but don't change the scale 

-CTRL+S after very move to save as you go along 

-Custom scale= for 5 it is equivalent to 1:200 as 1000/5 is 200 


-Indesign export as PDF

GA Hardworks

On reflection I struggled with this part of the assignment as I could not visualise how the materials would look together across the site. D...
