COVID-19 Fashion School Grads ‘Pushing the Industry to Go Virtual’ – WWD

https://ift.tt/3g2Mub5

“You are the chosen class,” said Oprah Winfrey. “Building your community is how you change the world,” said LeBron James. “Leave behind the old ways of thinking that divide us,” said former President Obama.

Some of the biggest names on the planet converged for a virtual graduation special over the weekend to celebrate the class of 2020. The message? The coronavirus has been hard on all graduating students — high school and college — who must face a historic level of uncertainty when they were just raring to go into the world.

The quarantined months have been particularly hard on students of such hands-on disciplines as fashion, textile and product design, whose final collections had to be completed on bedroom floors instead of classrooms, and often without supplies, drawing tables, pattern-making equipment or sometimes even sewing machines.

Graduation celebrations were scrapped, and long-awaited debuts into the fashion world, via the graduate runway show, along with them. And as unemployment soars and fashion retail and brand bankruptcies loom, students face a challenging future.

But there are glimmers of hope in leaving behind those old ways of thinking, as Obama called them. In the first part of our class of 2020 series, WWD saluted the next generation of fashion designers and trailblazers at the Rhode Island School of Design, ArtCollege of Design and Savannah College of Art and Design. In part two, we shared the experiences of students at Academy of Art University, Otis College of Art and Design and Kent State University.

In the final part of the series, WWD takes a look at what’s being done differently for graduation, as well as some words of wisdom from students, faculty and administrators, at the Fashion Institute of Technology, the New School’s Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising.

FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, NEW YORK CITY

New graduation plan:

FIT is planning an in-person undergraduate commencement in October at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden and a separate graduate school commencement ceremony. FIT will recognize the class of 2020 with a virtual graduation week celebration that began May 18. Since FIT’s annual “Future of Fashion” runway show was canceled, senior thesis collections will be featured on a web site, which will include a dedicated page for each graduate, representing five areas of specialization. In addition to social media visibility, FIT will produce an exhibition and film in the fall, featuring designs selected by industry experts and faculty (assuming it is safe to do so).

Career counseling:

FIT’s Career Internship Services continues to support graduating students with career preparation and development. In response to COVID-19, FIT recently hosted its first virtual career fair, in addition to offering students ongoing workshops to enhance virtual presentation skills for job interviews. “We’ve also been working with employers to understand their current needs, and continue to share related insights with our graduates so they can pivot as necessary, and communicate solutions during job interviews,” said Troy Richards, dean of the School of Art and Design. “Getting a job is going to require entrepreneurial skills. It might take a bit longer to find a job, but our students are so well prepared to hit the ground running, they will make a place for themselves.…We’ve also offered training in CLO 3-D software so students could translate their designs into digital models, strengthening skills during this time when everyone is speeding up production and cutting costs. Students have benefited significantly from feedback from industry critics, as well, as part of our senior program.” 

Student wisdom:

“During this time, we are all encountering circumstances and challenges that we never expected. As I was approaching graduation and the beginning of my career, I was anticipating both an exciting period of growth, as well as an unknown path. It now seems that this path will be even more unpredictable. However, I believe that this unstable time creates an environment for young designers like myself to reimagine the boundaries and possibilities of the fashion industry. There is so much opportunity for exploration and innovation. Despite uncertainty, I look forward to the future, and I believe that my peers and I have the chance to bring new perspectives and vision to the table.”

— Annalisa Ebbink, BFA, fashion design, sportswear

“Every coin has two sides. The uncertainty destroys all my plans for the year, but also creates opportunities. After graduation, although it might be hard to find a job right away, I believe that the fashion industry will actively and positively face the situation. I believe that opportunities for new designers like me will appear. Under the current circumstances, I have had time to slow down, more time to think, to read and to develop skills for both my professional and personal interests. I will continue to pay attention to what is happening and respond accordingly based on the situation. Embracing and accepting the uncertainty, creating more value, will be the first choice for me.”

— Anqi Jiang, BFA, fashion design, knitwear

“This is definitely not the future I thought I would be graduating into, but FIT has provided me with the skills to adapt in this ever-changing world and I am interested to see how the fashion industry changes as we all heal.”

— Elle Klein, BFA, fashion design, sportswear

“When the future seems uncertain, I like to remind myself to breathe and continue moving forward. Every generation has dealt with difficult moments, like this one, but with our creativity and the skills we have learned we will find answers and solutions.”

— Giulia Rao, BFA, fashion design, knitwear

“To be honest, I’m a little frightened to graduate in this unfortunate time. However, I believe that our new generation’s biggest strength is that we are able to achieve a creative solution and find our way to adjust toward a better circumstance. Because of what is happening now, many of us are understanding the importance of sustainability. Personally, I encourage people to buy less and style more, and I hope many people will realize that the world doesn’t need fast fashion and that they don’t need to buy every single item on trend to be stylish and chic. Therefore, I think the current situation will be a push that we needed for many years.”

— Babi Byambatsogt, BFA, fashion design, sportswear “I have the drive to do anything in this world. A virus shut down the world, yet I am still chasing my dreams. Let’s take this time to grow, evolve and love one another.”

— Kenneth Ivey, BFA, fashion design, sportswear

“People have made me feel positive during this global virus, even about facing the future. Everyone has been forced to face the risk of losing their jobs or maybe even people they’ve loved. This year became more difficult and challenging for all students who are preparing to graduate. The only thing that we can do now is keep ourselves and our families safe and remain positive. We are facing a new era that interconnects physical and digital lives. Moreover, everyone is pushing the fashion industry to go virtual. For example, we have seen several brands using AR, 3-D and CGI technology in advertising themselves for the past few seasons. I talked to several friends and they strongly expressed their thoughts about developing new technology. Since we didn’t choose to live in an uncertain world, we must make the choice to make our lives more stable. I deeply encourage people to stay strong, even if the coronavirus makes us all feel like we are suffering and are overwhelmed. We have been forced to leave our comfort zone but all of us are going to face a better world tomorrow.”

— Ka Ho Kam, BFA, fashion design, sportswear “As Abraham Lincoln once said, ‘The best way to predict the future is to create it.’”

— Irene Xiaoyu Zhang, BFA, fashion design, knitwear

Faculty Wisdom:

“Every graduating class at FIT is special, but this year’s class has demonstrated real grit and proven their ability to adapt and overcome even the most challenging obstacles put in their way. I am confident that they will continue to use their immense gifts, creativity and remarkable work ethic to reach their full potential, and I look forward to following their careers. Like so many previous FIT alumni, I am sure they will be successful, and define success on their own terms.”

— Troy Richards, dean, School of Art and Design

“To the 2020 graduates of the fashion design program — you overcame the challenges that this semester presented. Often with limited resources — you designed and created beautiful garments, a testament to your tenacity, ingenuity and future success. Congratulations.”

— Sandra Markus, chair and professor, fashion design

“This is the moment we have to rethink what being a designer is. We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but it’s an exciting moment to make something new and different come out of it. You can be the designers of a new age.”

— Tom Scott, assistant professor, fashion design

“See the unusual in the usual, and what feels like a collapse is nothing more than space for new ideas.”

— Amy Sperber, assistant professor, fashion design

“Creativity comes out of restriction. You’ve proven that being innovative, influential and inspired has no boundaries.”

— Nicole Benefield, assistant professor, fashion design

  PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN, NEW YORK CITY

New graduation plan:

The Parsons graduation ceremony went virtual on May 13 via Zoom for students and their loved ones across the globe. The hourlong program included remarks from Parsons leadership, program directors, faculty and students. “While circumstances are undoubtedly different this year, a few things remain constant. This includes our students’ unwavering dedication to and passion for their work as well as our commitment to celebrating and showcasing their achievements as widely as possible,” said interim dean Jason Kass. “As is always the case, our graduating students have done amazing work this year that explores new possibilities, terrains and futures for fashion. We are so excited to share this work with the public in the coming weeks and through a digital format that will be as uniquely Parsons as our typical on-site activations.”

Career counseling:

“Parsons understands that our graduates are anxious about their futures in ways that are extraordinary, and we will be working with all students to ensure that they feel prepared and supported as they enter an uncertain job market,” Kass added. “Our School of Fashion program directors continue to work closely with graduating students to help them identify productive ways forward. In some instances, this includes pairing students with industry mentors while in others, it means holding regular Zoom sessions for students to share their anxieties as well as ideas. Now is a time for forward-thinking action and creative problem solving, both of which are at the core of a Parsons education.”

Student wisdom:

“After four years of blood, sweat and tears — managing school while working to support myself, commuting from a different state, and oftentimes crashing at school or at my friend’s place to wake up and repeat the endless grind — I want to be celebrated in the best way possible with my rest of my mates. But because that’s not possible beyond Zoom calls at the moment, I’m just trying to make the best of it through digital platforms. As much as I’m going to miss school, running into people to talk about useless crap, pulling all-nighters with the dress form and celebrating our survival through each semester with the same people that pained through with me, I continue to remind myself that this isn’t the end to my learning, to meeting, connecting and creating.”

— Sayo Watanabe, School of Fashion 2020

“This pandemic situation is a tough time, but it also lets people rethink about lots of aspects of our life, for me it shifts my view on human connection and technology. The situation has also affected how I approach my thesis as well. This graduation doesn’t mean an end, I will definitely keep working on what I believe, and what I care about.”

— Danlin Zhang, School of Fashion 2020

“We were told on the first day to center our process around who we love, what we care about, the community that surrounds us, and above all, to demand excellence of ourselves. This way of thinking will be carried with me throughout the rest of my career and life. I look forward to nothing but excellence from the class of 2020.”

— Katya Ekimian, School of Fashion 2020

Faculty wisdom:

“Creative visualization is a powerful thing. See it, believe it, design it and your idea will manifest as a reality. Your expression must count for something true and the energy that you put into your creative process will be received by those who understand it. You will feel completely fulfilled and empowered by that process and nothing will stop you from achieving your goals.”

— Keanan Duffty, program director, MPS Fashion Management

“Everything needs to start from self. Knowing and understanding what is important to you — what is going to drive the commitment. Being blatantly truthful of your strengths, weaknesses and attributes will be the key to unlocking and owning your unique positioning, beliefs and place in this ever-developing industry.”

— Neil Gilks, program director BFA Fashion Design: Collection and Product

“Embrace the future, class of 2020. As designers, you have the opportunity to design new systems for an industry that is in need of fresh new approaches to collaborative processes. Build on what you have learned through your years at Parsons, identify what is missing, and problem solve by offering innovative solutions. Think globally and reflect on what fashion needs to do better, be it sustainable practices, ethical conduct, community justice or systemic changes. This is a time to rethink, with design, new ways to strengthen the local and global fashion industry alongside refining current media and communication skills.”

— Francesca Sammaritano, director, AAS Fashion Design

“This is going to be a difficult time to enter the job market as a graduating fashion student. There is no point in sugar-coating the truth. However, this crisis will end, and brands will need innovative thinkers that can think beyond old business models and engage consumers in new, more meaningful ways, no matter the format. This is a moment when companies are more likely to take risks, to use this as an opportunity to reset and build new foundations that can ensure a brand’s future success. This means they will be looking for new employees that are ready and willing to work hard and rethink what fashion can be, with more careful consideration of people and planet.”

— Joshua Williams, associate professor, MPS Fashion Management

FASHION INSTITUTE OF DESIGN AND MERCHANDISING, LOS ANGELES, ORANGE COUNTY, SAN DIEGO AND SAN FRANCISCO 

New graduation plan:

“We went 100 percent remote and online learning for the spring and summer quarters, and it’s been great,” said Barbara Bundy, vice president, education at FIDM. “The thought process continually changes, because we’re living in this world of uncertainty, but right now it looks like we are doing San Francisco campus graduation in June and Los Angeles in September. What form it will take we don’t know. We usually do L.A. graduation at Staples Center, and with the reopening of large events and venues moved now to California’s reopening stage 4, who knows what will happen? We want to give our students a ceremony if possible. We also had to cancel our debut fashion show. But we were able to squeeze in a photo shoot with our advanced fashion design students before the stay-at-home order, and we are doing weekly Instagram takeovers with some students. We want to do a show, but where, when and how we don’t know.”

Career counseling:

“That’s the big thing, the uncertain job market,” Bundy said. “Students are putting their portfolios together, and the career center is working with them one-on-one to arrange initial interviews that are being done virtually. We are waiting for companies to open up as well….And in the meantime, we’re doing reaching out and saying, ‘Hi; we’re here if you have any needs.’ Our number-one recruiter over the years is Guess; they touch every major and have been dear partners. They sponsor our sustainability classes, and have been generous with scholarships. We’ve also been working with the Black Design Collective. And we’re looking at doing virtual job fairs. We are being creative.”

Student wisdom:

“I think it’s a great time for young designers to be creating. Fashion is going to be different after the pandemic; I don’t know exactly how but I’ll continue to adapt and evolve. I’m using this time to create a new collection and consider it an exciting time for fashion.”

— Scarlett Dyer, advanced fashion design major, FIDM 2020

“I like to keep busy, so while quarantined, I’m just doing as many things to fill my head as possible. Currently, I’m taking this time to make masks, looking into getting my master’s degree and waiting for the job market to open back up.”

— Delaney Poe, advanced fashion design major, FIDM 2020

“I’m grateful to be working remotely as a Global Product Innovation intern at a major skin-care company. While it is not an ideal time to start a career, I’m confident that beauty and related industries will recover. Change is intimidating but as a young person, at the start of a career, it’s also exciting. We have the opportunity to make history.”

— Natalie Noble, beauty marketing and product development major, FIDM 2020

“COVID-19 has definitely changed the way I see the world and future. The opportunity presented now, creating anew, has given me liberty to begin the execution of the beauty brand of my dreams.”

— Roxana Ontiveros, beauty marketing and product development major, FIDM 2020

Faculty wisdom:

“Hang on to your dreams, don’t lose them, and stay positive. The class of 2020 will always be remembered as the class that graduated during the pandemic. As one student said to me jokingly, ‘I have always wanted to be the smartest one in the room, and now that I’m studying at home, I am always the smartest one in the room.’ They might not have some of the same events, but will go down in history with pandemic graduates. I have respect for them, they are working hard on their resumes and portfolios. I know they will get amazing jobs, and they have the skills for tomorrow. They are tech and social media savvy, and ready for what will happen today and in the future.”

— Barbara Bundy, vice president, education, FIDM

Not everyone’s journey is the same

Your 20’s, a time of the search. A period of trying to find what direction or path of life you want to walk. A 10 year reflection period where you are constantly asked questions like, where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years? what are your passions, hopes, dreams, and ambitions? or what is your purpose in life? what do you hope to achieve with your time on earth? Each question feels more and more like an attack on your mental, with flushing feels of fear, sweaty trembling hands, elevated heartbeat, shortness of breath and or tightness of your throat, and an occasional hot flash… oh, wait you're experiencing a panic attack. And of course, let us not forget what might seem like a never-ending track of self-doubt, disappointments and let downs. Heartache, feeling like you have bad luck, looking for a purpose in your life, while also trying to enjoy the beautiful messy chaos that orbits your very existence. Your 20s a time where it all seems possible when that childlike “fearlessness” exerts its last bit of energy, then you are neck-deep in your own crap - (fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, and stress) and the only semblance of sanity that keeps you afloat is that moment you hit your bed and all that chaos from the day fades away as your eyes get heavier and the world you exist in, disappears. For the moment.

“For 7 months I was unemployed, took a risk I believed would benefit me, but it all ended up blowing up in my face. I got a lot of criticism for it, especially from my family, it drove me to a dark place for a moment. Through it all, I had faith that God would eventually make things right. I believe that all things happen for a reason, and maybe the path I choose was not the path I should have been walking on. I didn't let the situation drive me to deep depression, I hustled and tried to keep my pride up, also shout out to mom, I don't know what I would do without her love and support, she is the best. I could not give up; I don't think I could live with myself it did. I thought my calculated risk would not blow up in my face, but it did, it was the reality I had to live in for 7 months. It was a major learning moment for me, I don't regret taking that risk, and won't be doing that again.  My advice to others is to make sure you are certain before you take a big leap into a new path. Educate yourself, understand your surroundings and new surroundings you want to venture in. Think before you act, but most importantly trust you God and your gut feelings, even if it blows up your face, take that as a learning experience for another try at the same thing or a new path.”

Speaking to a girl in my chemistry class who recently decided not to pursue the nursing program, she told me how she felt “directionless and doesn't know where to go from here on.” With those words flowing out her mouth, I could feel this heavy shadow of uncertainty and fear. The same uncertainty and fear I once experienced once, as I poured out my concerns to my brother one hopeless night.  She continues saying she is thankful for not having parents who pressure her to find her purpose in life, but she feels the urge to get back on a path where she feels like she “belongs”. We sat and talked for moments before getting kicked out of the lab for the next class to come in. We moved our conversation to one of the study rooms in the library and talked some more about our ambitions and how hard it is to stay on our paths. I had my “Dr. Phil hat” with ears wide open, doing my best to pick my words wisely and while helping aid her to a new path. 

“When I graduated high school, I had no idea what I was going to major in. I was not the best student, didn't get the best grades, I graduated with a low GPA. I didn't really have a good support system around to encourage me in anything. Dad left when I was young, and mom is in and out of my life. So, it’s been me, almost all of my life. I made some really bad decisions and I still do. But now, I’ve matured and realized that the world does not stop when I want it to. All my classmates that I graduated with are far ahead of me, and I’m still behind. It's hard, it really is, you're going to be stuck in this field for however long and if you don't like it, you’re going to have to go back to school and learn something else. You never really stop going back to college, everyone is trying to be the next best thing or make this much money, that or work minimum wage job the rest of your life. I knew that was not what I wanted. It took time but, once I knew what I wanted to major in, I read up, I asked questions and worked on convincing myself that this will not only help me, but it will help others. Social Work is the typical major a lot of people go for, but I believe I have the heart and mind now, to push myself through school. So, in the end, I am able to help kids who don’t have that much-needed support system that I didn’t get.”

One of the many questions I get asked is, “why did you move to Michigan?” I moved here in hopes of taking my future more seriously, school, and also find my path. If you had asked younger me if I was going to be pursuing nursing let alone see myself being a doctor, I would've told you I didn't know what I wanted to be. In my younger years I was so lost in a world I thought I still needed to know, I wanted to have fun and I didn't care what D grade I got. Little did I know, I dimmed my light so low, that older me sometimes gets lost trying to find her way in. I don't know what wake up slap I got, but I thank God for it, if not I don't know what would have become of me if I didn't find myself in Michigan. Still, I have to learn, habits I am working on dismissing, and material things I have to let go. I also keep in mind that not everything is set in stone. The future I seek may change and I have to learn to deal with it but also keep pushing. 

“I never believed in God; I don't know I grew up in a household where faith was not a thing we spoke about.  My family didn't attend church like other families on Sundays, we didn't pray before a meal, there was no spiritual foundation in my home. I grew up not knowing any God. I was aware that others had a faith, nor did I disrespect them. I wasn't an atheist or non-believer; I just didn't have a faith or a God to worship. It wasn't until mid-February when the snow falls harder here in Michigan, when my 2009 Toyota corolla, took a turn for the worse on the highway. My car filled 3 times, the doctors said it was a miracle and that God must've been watching over me. At that moment that's where it all came to light, questions, lots of them. I bought a bible the moment I was able to find the courage to drive again. From there you can almost paint the picture for yourself. Speaking about it now it all seems surreal, how profound a single moment can reshape your whole existence. From not having faith in having one, some days I sit and think what if I never went out that day? or what if that doctor never said those words to me? where I would be now? I am grateful, still terrified but grateful that I live, and I am able to outweigh my experience with my faith for God.”

 I’m freshly new into my 20s and I feel I need to air out my wounds for those who want to bear witness of how difficult it is to keep up. Don't get me wrong I am not complaining, I am blessed to be where I am currently in life. I’ve come a long way from, overcoming so much self-doubt, disappointments and disapprovals, letting myself down and others down and going through whirls of emotions. But, In it all, I’ve grown, I’ve gotten better and now I’m able to run the race. If you don't get it, then life must be peachy for you. I'm writing this for those who are screaming “say it louder for those in the back” my fellow “millennials” you are not alone. We are not wrong for wanting to do something greater than us, wanting our life and work to matter. You are not wrong for taking that semester off to recharge, you are not wrong for switching paths, you are not wrong for being human. The road ahead won't always be perfect, yet we subconsciously expect the path we walk on to be “straight-forward”, we want to walk down a well-lit path with a cascading waterfall clearly in view from start to finish. 

Not every journey is the same, we don’t all see the same light at the end of the tunnel. One thing I’ve learned is that life is unexpected and expected, keep pushing it’s not over till you say it’s over. 

“Being lost is the exact spot that you will be found”

[shikastudies]

Being productive can be very hard because of all of life’s daily distractions whether it’s your dog, your annoyingly loud sibling, or your phone because let’s be real, we’re addicted. So when trying to study or do work, it’s harder to focus, so I have a couple of tricks and tips to start the semester off with a bang!

Locations: Where do you study has a significant impact on how you consider, so wherever you are studying at a coffee shop, friends house, library, or your room. Try to stay far away from a bed if you’re genuinely trying to retain and comprehend information. If you study in groups, make sure your group is small, I’d say no bigger than 5 people depending on the topic such as if there’s an English essay, you and your friends can discuss what to write about and review each other’s article, so 5 people are okay for that type of environment. For math and science, I’d recommend 3 and four people to help teach each other anything that you might not have caught in class.

Your Desk And Area: The area that you are working is critical to how well you’ll work. Keeping a clean desk can allow you to spread your work, so you’re not working in a corner, and then after you have finished one task, you can clean up your area a bit and switch to the next job. A quiet area is vital for you to be able to focus and really what you’re working on, which leads to my next point of removing distractions.

Remove Distractions: If you want to get any work done, I would suggest removing any distractions, your phone, your dog, your family! Personally, my dog and phone are my biggest distractions, so whenever I’m in my room studying. I plug in my headphones and play some lofi music or music box/piano kpop playlists where it’s not distracting to the point where I can’t hear my dog come in and out of my room. Usually, I through my phone on my bed because I’m too lazy to get it if it’s far away. Or if you have one of the noise-canceling headphones, which is just the best type to focus, those can help so much

Pomodoro Method: This method is used for many centuries, where you do some intense focus work for a certain period of 25-30 minutes and then take a short break of 5 minutes and repeat four times then after it you make a more extended break for 15-20 minutes. This method is how I prefer to study during school days, but I tend to extend my time because I want to make this method fit my schedule. And it’s okay to extend the time because sometimes specific tasks take longer than 25 minutes. But this method is used to make sure the functions that you’re doing, you’re allowing yourself a certain amount of time to do those tasks efficiently.

Set Small Goals: When you have a lot on your plate, make sure to break them down into smaller goals, so it’s not a daunting task that you most likely won’t get done. Like if you have an essay, break it into brainstorm, find quotes, write your introduction and conclusion, rough draft your body paragraphs, using the Pomodoro method for longer tasks such as an essay is a good idea, so you’re using your time efficiently. Using a planner or some formatting for what you need to get done is another way that you can format these tasks into smaller goals.

Don’t Use To-Do Lists: Honestly, if you go and ask different billionaires or successful people such as Elon Musk, he will tell you that he doesn’t make to-do lists, now I will use to-do lists from time to time but what you’re supposed to do, is that arrange them from recently due to due farther away. Which is why I use a planner with a monthly calendar where I will write when everything is due, and if you’re in school or at work. What is due tomorrow at 9 am, then Monday at 1 pm: using this helps me understand what is more urgent and helps to prioritize my life in a first due first done.

Hunger and Thirst: Keep hydrated throughout your study session because for me, when I get stressed, I will eat or excessively drink water. Might just be me, but keeping water or a small healthy snack nearby is so you don’t get distracted by your hunger or thirst and go downstairs or to the kitchen and get distracted there. Plus whenever I’m tired I’ll take a sip of my ice-cold water which is quite refreshing as it’s a booster. Your brain is highly motivated by water as when you’re dehydrated and studying your mind is less likely to truly absorb the information and dulling your brains performance in general.  If you want to learn more about waters effect on your body, click the word link.

Study Reasonably: Your brain can only honestly give its full attention for short periods, so studying for 8 hours for a test is counterproductive. If you play a sport, you have practices, you don’t continuously practice at a game level the entire time, I make my best reg sprints, take a short break, and then I get back to my erg sprints. It’s just like studying, by giving your brain a small break, you’re going to be able to continue at the same rate for a longer time.

Studying is something that you have to build your life and school around because of how critical it is to truly comprehend the material that you’re being taught. Using these few steps are the stepping stones to being able to be productive indeed, and there are so many other ways that you can learn to be productive, I’m still figuring out my way in fact, so don’t feel pressured to have it right in the first go!
