程序設(shè)計我愛你

重點 (Top highlight)

It’s easy to get excited about your job if you’re designing for a company or industry that you REALLY care about, but the reality is that most people won’t actually get to do that. Don’t believe me? You don’t have to, this is actually coming from Gallup, who found that around the world only 13% of people are actually engaged at work, that leaves 87% not happy.

我 T的很容易感到興奮你的工作，如果你正在設(shè)計一個公司或行業(yè)，你很在意，但現(xiàn)實情況是，大多數(shù)人不會真正得到這樣做。 不相信我嗎 您不必一定要這樣做，這實際上是來自蓋洛普(Gallup) ，他發(fā)現(xiàn)，在全球范圍內(nèi)，只有13％的人實際從事工作，這使87％的人不高興。

I don’t have number for design specific jobs, but my guess is that it won’t deviate drastically, let me explain why. The companies that you consider cool, only need so many designers, and if you’re working as a freelancer, the “cool” clients probably aren’t coming as often as you’d like. On top of that, these cool companies that you wish you could work for will probably have designers taking “your” place, but some of them would probably rather work somewhere else. See what I mean?

我沒有設(shè)計特定工作的編號，但是我猜想它不會出現(xiàn)很大的偏差，請允許我解釋一下原因。 您認為很酷的公司只需要這么多的設(shè)計師，而如果您是自由職業(yè)者，那么“很酷”的客戶可能不會像您想要的那樣經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)。 最重要的是，您希望您能為之工作的這些很酷的公司可能會讓設(shè)計師代替您，但其中一些人可能寧愿在其他地方工作。 明白了嗎？

Now, if you are in a position where you can work with whoever you want, being able to pick your clients or projects, well… Congrats! You’re one of the lucky ones, just don’t forget that you deserve a fair compensation even if you’re having tons of fun, and love the company, if you’re good at something, you should never do it for free (or even below a fair price).

現(xiàn)在，如果您處于可以與任何人合作的位置，能夠挑選您的客戶或項目，那么……恭喜！ 您是幸運的人之一，只是別忘了，即使您有很多樂趣，也應(yīng)該得到公平的補償，并熱愛公司，如果您擅長做某事，則永遠不要免費(甚至低于合理價格)。

Ok… what about the rest of the mortals? Is all hope lost?

好吧...其余的凡人呢？ 所有的希望都消失了嗎？

I don’t think so, otherwise this would be a very different article.

我不這么認為，否則這將是一篇非常不同的文章。

奮斗可以是積極的 (Struggle can be positive)

Even though I suck at it, I really love skateboarding, and I would love to have had the chance to design something for a skateboarding brand, just because I relate so much with the culture and industry. Unfortunately, except for university & personal projects, I never really got the opportunity — but that's fine.

即使我很喜歡它，我也確實很喜歡滑板運動，而且我很想有機會為滑板品牌設(shè)計一些東西，只是因為我與文化和產(chǎn)業(yè)聯(lián)系緊密。 不幸的是，除了大學(xué)和個人項目外，我從未真正獲得過機會-很好。

The truth is that, like most people, I have more than a single passion and it just happens that my biggest passion actually isn’t skateboarding. If you follow me on Medium you can probably guess what it is — Design. For me, that means that if I’m doing something related with Design I’m probably happy, the “what” that actually is becomes a secondary concern.

事實是，像大多數(shù)人一樣，我不僅擁有一種激情，而且恰恰是我最大的激情實際上不是滑板。 如果您在Medium上關(guān)注我，您可能會猜到它是什么-設(shè)計。 對我來說，這意味著如果我正在做一些與Design相關(guān)的事情，我可能會很高興，實際上是“什么”成為了第二要務(wù)。

Thought, even when your job is actually doing the thing you love the most it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, there’s a reason why someone is paying you to do something, there will be always things you’d rather not do, clients you would rather not have, meetings you’d rather skip, conversations you’d rather avoid, but it’s all part of the job, and if you love the essence of it you should be able to power through the rest.

想想，即使您的工作實際上是在做您最鐘愛的事情，也不只是陽光和彩虹，還是有原因有人會付錢給您做某事，但總會有您不愿做的事情，客戶會寧愿沒有，您不希望跳過會議，寧愿避免談話，但這都是工作的一部分，如果您喜歡它的本質(zhì)，那么您應(yīng)該能夠在其余工作中發(fā)揮作用。

In my past I’ve designed a magazine for real-estate, ads for auto-dealers, branding for accounting firms, books for children, and much more… not exactly what I would describe as “dream jobs”, but it helped me pay the bills whilst I was getting real world experience, learning stuff and progressing.

在過去，我曾為房地產(chǎn)設(shè)計雜志，為自動交易者設(shè)計的廣告，為會計師事務(wù)所設(shè)計的品牌，為兒童開設(shè)的書等等……不完全是我所說的“理想工作”，但它幫助我支付了在我獲得現(xiàn)實世界的經(jīng)驗，學(xué)習(xí)東西并取得進步的同時付賬。

I’m lucky to say that I’ve been designing professionally since I was 18, but there were times before and briefly after where my job wasn’t design related, just because I needed a salary to be able to get by. Right after graduating from university I struggled to find actual paying job or clients… can’t say I miss the Portuguese financial crisis from 2010. Believe it or not, I was hired not once but twice, to work for companies that after a few months just stopped paying my salary, no notice, nothing… Oh, and they expected me to just continue to show up and work as if that was normal… 🤷?♂

我很幸運地說，我從18歲起就一直從事專業(yè)設(shè)計，但是前后有時我的工作與設(shè)計無關(guān)，只是因為我需要一份能賺到的薪水。 大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，我一直在努力尋找真正的有薪工作或客戶……不能說我錯過了2010年的葡萄牙金融危機。信不信由你，我被聘用的不是一次而是兩次，為在幾個月后工作的公司工作只是停止支付我的薪水，沒有通知，什么也沒有……哦，他們希望我繼續(xù)出現(xiàn)并像正常工作一樣工作……🤷?♂

I also tried freelance and lets just say that most of the clients I got still owe me money…

我還嘗試了自由職業(yè)者，只說我得到的大多數(shù)客戶還欠我錢……

Thanks to all that good luck, I decided to look for a “real” job, any job that could be a bit more reliable. That’s how I ended up working on toll roads. I know, kind of random, but at least I could pay the bills and in between drivers I spent the dead time drawing on my sketch book, which helped me improve my drawing skills. #silverlining

多虧了所有的好運，我決定尋找一份“真實的”工作，任何可能更可靠的工作。 這就是我最終在收費公路上工作的方式。 我知道，這是隨機的，但至少我可以付賬，并且在兩次駕駛之間，我將空余時間花在了素描本上，這有助于我提高繪畫技巧。 #silverlining

It didn’t take long to actually get back to designing, but this struggle helped me gain some perspective, which is why I see the chance to get paid to design anything as a real gift.

實際花費了很長時間才回到設(shè)計領(lǐng)域，但是這種掙扎幫助我獲得了一些見識，這就是為什么我看到有機會獲得酬勞來設(shè)計任何東西作為真正的禮物的原因。

That’s not one of the tips though, this is just context to help illustrate where I’m coming from. Honestly, I hope you don’t have to go through any kind of struggle to start to appreciate your job, but sometimes that can help — what doesn’t kill you, doesn’t just make you stronger, it also makes you appreciate things a bit more.

但這不是技巧之一，這只是上下文，可以幫助說明我來自哪里。 老實說，我希望您不必經(jīng)歷任何掙扎就可以開始欣賞您的工作，但是有時候這可以幫到您-什么不會殺死您，不僅僅會使您變得更堅強，還會讓您欣賞事物多一點。

Now, let’s get into the actual tips.

現(xiàn)在，讓我們進入實際的技巧。

1.一點幸福就可以走很長一段路 (1. A little happiness can go a long way)

Make sure that you love something about your job, I mean REALLY love. The pay-check doesn’t count in case you’re wondering, that will never be real love.In order to endure the things you don’t enjoy, you need a pay-off (again, not the money kind), something you’re looking forward to. If you don’t have that something you’ll just burn yourself down and probably others around you.

確保您愛上一份工作，我的意思是真正的愛。 如果您想知道，薪水支票不會算作真正的愛情。為了忍受您不喜歡的事情，您需要還清(不是金錢的東西)，您很期待。 如果您沒有這些東西，那么您將自己和周圍的其他人都燒掉。

If you’re a designer, I have good news. There are many sides to our job, and you don’t have to love every single one of them. You might be more inclined towards crafting interactions and/or visuals, maybe you like to interact with people and learn about them or you’re just really into prototyping stuff. Whatever it is, lean into it and turn it into your super power. Find a reason to do it as much as possible, because if you do, people will start noticing your inclination towards that, and likely start seeing you as the expert of that, which likely means that you’ll probably get to do more of it.

如果您是設(shè)計師，我有個好消息。 我們的工作有很多方面，您不必愛每個人。 您可能更傾向于設(shè)計互動和/或視覺效果，也許您想與人互動并了解他們，或者您真的在制作原型產(chǎn)品。 不管它是什么，都要靠它，將它變成您的超級力量。 找到盡可能多的理由，因為如果這樣做，人們會開始注意到您對此的傾向，并可能開始將您視為該領(lǐng)域的專家，這可能意味著您可能會做更多的事情。

Personally, I’ve been doing this through out my entire career, and believe me it just works, and my job just keeps on becoming more and more the things I like the most.

就我個人而言，我在整個職業(yè)生涯中一直在做這件事，并相信我的做法是行得通的，而且我的工作一直在變得越來越多，我最喜歡的東西。

With a little luck, you can leverage that little thing that makes you happy and turn it into your full time job. Now, if you’re a bit like me, and love a bit of variety, then you can try to look for the intersection point of the things you love and bring them together, when it makes sense, of course.

運氣好的話，您可以利用讓自己快樂的那件事，將其轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槿毠ぷ鳌?現(xiàn)在，如果您有點像我，并且喜歡一些變化，那么您可以嘗試尋找自己喜歡的事物的交點，然后在合理的情況下將它們組合在一起。

For instance, I love illustration, though working as a Product Designer you don’t always get a chance to actually illustrate, so I had to find a way.

例如，我喜歡插圖，盡管作為產(chǎn)品設(shè)計師，您并不總是有機會進行實際的插圖說明，所以我必須找到一種方法。

If you need to present your work, you can focus on the actual work, show off your prototypes, mocks and flows, but after a while that becomes a bit boring and not super engaging, as a way to combat that you can do a bit of storytelling, and illustration goes perfectly with that. See what I mean? The opportunities are there, you just have to be willing to take them.

如果您需要展示您的作品，則可以專注于實際的作品，展示您的原型，模擬和流程，但是過一會兒，這會變得有些無聊且沒有超級吸引力，以此作為一種戰(zhàn)斗方法，您可以做一些講故事，而插圖則與此完美契合。 明白了嗎？ 機會就在那里，您只需要愿意抓住它們。

2.不斷進步 (2. Keep progressing)

The are no shortcuts, as far as I know, the only way you get good at something is by practising it. I believe that “talent” is just a sum of passion and repetition. The cool thing about practising is that the better you are, the easier and funner it becomes.When you’re progressing at the things that you love, it will be noticeable, and as I already said for the previous point, people will think of you first when that thing is needed. Which just gives you the chance to do more of it and get even better in the process.

據(jù)我所知，這不是捷徑，唯一擅長做某事的方法就是練習(xí)。 我相信“人才”只是激情和重復(fù)的總和。 練習(xí)的一個很酷的事情是，你變得更好，變得越容易和越有趣。當(dāng)你在做自己喜歡的事情時，它會變得引人注目，正如我前面提到的那樣，人們會想到您首先需要那個東西。 這只是讓您有機會做更多的事情，并在此過程中變得更好。

If you’re afraid you’ll get stuck doing one thing and will eventually start hating it, switch it up. Get better at more stuff, specially things that complement the things you’re already good at.

如果您害怕做某事會陷入困境，并最終開始討厭它，那就把它調(diào)高。 在更多的東西上變得更好，特別是那些可以補充您已經(jīng)擅長的東西的東西。

For instance, going back to me, I’m a bit of a design slut and love almost every field, being animation one of them.

例如，回到我身邊，我有點設(shè)計賤人，幾乎喜歡每個領(lǐng)域，成為動畫之一。

I can’t imagine just stopping doing animation, so… in one of the first assignments when I started my first UX job, I found a way to sneak it — at first as a way to present work, then turning that into prototypes… and guess what? That’s where I started to become the “animation guru” in the team. Looking back, I wasn’t even that great at it, but with enough practice it started became noticeable my passion for it, and it became one of my “super powers”, and because of that I was able to do it more and more, which allowed me to learn, improve and get better at it.

我無法想象只是停止做動畫，所以……在開始我的第一個UX工作的第一個任務(wù)中，我找到了一種潛行的方法-首先是一種呈現(xiàn)作品的方式，然后將其變成原型……并且你猜怎么了？ 那就是我開始成為團隊中“動畫大師”的地方。 回顧過去，我什至沒有那么擅長，但是經(jīng)過足夠的練習(xí)，它開始成為我對它的熱情，并成為我的“超級大國”之一，因此，我能夠做得越來越多，這使我能夠?qū)W習(xí)，改進并變得更好。

I must warn you though, this is where the impostor syndrome strikes the hardest. When you’re stepping out of your comfort zone and trying new things, in your mind you’ll never be good enough.

不過，我必須警告您，這是冒名頂替綜合癥打擊最嚴重的地方。 當(dāng)您走出舒適區(qū)并嘗試新事物時，在您的腦海中，您將永遠變得不夠出色。

As you learn and progress at a certain thing, you’ll realize there’s much more you didn’t know, and so much more talented people around the world.Don’t let that discourage you, progression is an internal battle, if today you’re better than yesterday, you’re on the same track all these talented people went through.

當(dāng)您在某件事上學(xué)習(xí)和進步時，您會意識到還有很多您不知道的東西，世界上還有更多的才華橫溢的人。別讓它灰心喪氣，進步就是一場內(nèi)在的戰(zhàn)斗，如果今天您“比昨天更好，所有這些才華橫溢的人都走在同一個軌道上。

Being good at something isn’t a final state, it’s a never ending work in progress. The moment you stop trying to get better, is the moment you start to get worst.

擅長某事不是最終狀態(tài)，這是一項永無止境的工作。 您停止努力變得更好的那一刻，就是您開始變得最糟糕的那一刻。

3.給af＃ck (3. Give a f#ck)

When you just don’t care, you can be really good at something but still deliver crap. This is where you really need to do some soul searching and find a reason to care about what you’re about to deliver. If you can’t find anything I can give you something to care about — care about yourself.

當(dāng)您根本不在乎時，您可以真正擅長某些事情，但仍然會帶來一些麻煩。 在這里，您確實需要進行全面的搜索，并找到理由來關(guān)心即將交付的產(chǎn)品。 如果您找不到任何東西，我可以給您一些值得關(guān)心的事情-關(guān)心您自己。

Take pride in your work and have a little self-respect. As a designer, you’re in a position where you can make the world a bit better than it is, even if it’s just visually better. So push for your best ideas, get a backbone and fight for what you believe in.

對您的工作感到自豪，并要有一點自尊。 作為設(shè)計師，即使在視覺上更好，您也可以使世界比現(xiàn)在更好。 因此，推動您的最佳想法，獲得支持并為您的信念而奮斗。

If you design just for the pay-check you might see yourself without one sooner than you think. These things catch up to you.

如果您僅設(shè)計用于薪水支票，則可能比您想象的要早。 這些事情趕上了你。

Now, good designers don’t just care about themselves, they have empathy with who they’re designing for, so my advice there is to do some research. Learn more about these people and try to connect with them on a more human level. Seeing the impact that your work can have, and going beyond numbers can really help you start caring about what you deliver.

現(xiàn)在，優(yōu)秀的設(shè)計師不僅會在乎自己，他們會對設(shè)計對象有所了解，因此我的建議是進行一些研究。 了解有關(guān)這些人的更多信息，并嘗試在更人性的層面上與他們聯(lián)系。 看到您的工作可能產(chǎn)生的影響以及超越數(shù)字，這確實可以幫助您開始關(guān)心所交付的內(nèi)容。

It also helps if you care in someway about the company’s mission, even if the thing you’re designing for them isn’t your dream.

如果您某種程度上關(guān)心公司的使命，即使您為他們設(shè)計的東西不是您的夢想，它也會有所幫助。

What if you can’t believe in their mission because it’s evil? — personally I don’t have experience at that level, but my naive advice would be to try to push for change from the inside, worst case scenario you’ll get fired because of it, you can get on the news or write a medium post about it and on the next day you’ll have companies that respect your view offering you a job. 😅

如果您因為邪惡而無法相信他們的使命，該怎么辦？ -個人而言，我沒有該級別的經(jīng)驗，但是我的天真建議是嘗試從內(nèi)部推動變化，在最壞的情況下，您會因此而被解雇，您可以獲取新聞或撰寫媒介發(fā)布相關(guān)信息，第二天，您將擁有尊重您觀點的公司，為您提供工作。 😅

4.不要只是掛在那里 (4. Don’t just hang in there)

If you want to take action and start pushing for the things you care the most sometimes it might be difficult to actually get started, because you already have a lot of work to do, and the right opportunity can take time to arise, but be patient and stay sharp. Above anything, make sure that you don’t miss out on the opportunity, even if it required an extra effort. This is for you, so if you don’t put in the effort, nobody will.

如果您想采取行動并開始努力進行自己最關(guān)心的事情，有時可能很難真正開始，因為您已經(jīng)有很多工作要做，正確的機會可能會花費一些時間，但要耐心等待并保持敏銳。 最重要的是，即使您需要付出額外的努力，也要確保您不要錯過機會。 這是給您的，因此，如果您不付出努力，沒人會這么做。

Also, don’t give up on the first challenge, sometimes it takes a bit for people to notice your efforts, just make sure to be consistent and keep pushing. If after a significant push from your side you don’t see a return, then it’s time to redirect your efforts to a place where you can potentially see that happening, which possibly means looking for another job.

同樣，不要放棄第一個挑戰(zhàn)，有時候人們會花點時間注意到您的努力，只是要確保前后一致并不斷努力。 如果從您身邊大力推動之后您看不到回報，那么該是時候?qū)⒛墓ぷ髦匦露ㄏ虻娇赡軙吹竭@種情況發(fā)生的地方了，這可能意味著尋找另一份工作。

I’ve been there. It’s easy to get stuck in the tunnel, after a while the darkness starts to seem familiar, kind of comfortable even, to a point where you forget that light is even a thing.

我去過那兒。 一段時間之后，黑暗開始變得熟悉，甚至很舒適，以至于您忘記了光甚至是東西，很容易卡在隧道中。

Or maybe, you know it’s still there but you just expect it to find you, but in life most of us aren’t in a train and if you want to see light again, you have to walk towards the end of the tunnel.

或者，也許您知道它仍然存在，但您只是希望它能找到您，但是我們生活中的大多數(shù)人都不在火車上，如果您想再次看到光明，就必須走到隧道盡頭。

5.組隊 (5. Team up)

Continuing the tunnel metaphor, you’re not on a train but you’re not actually alone. Most of the time there will be people around you, and these can also be your way to get to the light, and you can even walk towards it together.

繼續(xù)隧道的比喻，您不在火車上，但實際上并不孤單。 在大多數(shù)情況下，周圍會有人，這些人也可能是您了解事物的方式，甚至可以一起走向它。

After more than a decade working for different companies in very different countries I came to realize that this is true everywhere. The impact that the people you work with have on how much you love what you‘re doing, sometimes can be greater than the actual job. That means that even if you have your dream job you might end up hating it just because of the people you’re working with.

在非常不同的國家為不同的公司工作了十多年之后，我才意識到在所有地方都是如此。 與您一起工作的人對您對所做工作的熱愛程度的影響有時會大于實際工作。 這意味著即使您擁有理想的工作，您也可能會因為與您一起工作的人而討厭它。

Now, most of the times you can’t actually pick the people you work with, but you can at least try to be the positive change.

現(xiàn)在，在大多數(shù)情況下，您實際上不能選擇與您一起工作的人，但是您至少可以嘗試成為積極的改變。

Most important thing to keep in mind, don’t be an asshole. Believe it or not, that goes a long way.

要記住的最重要的事情，不要混蛋。 信不信由你，這很長的路要走。

Don’t judge people by their surface, try to see their potential. Most of your teammates can actually help you be better, and you can help them too. Just leverage each other’s skills, do cool things and be kind, before you know it you’ll have made a few new friends, and going to work will become that much easier.

不要從表面上評判人，而是要看看他們的潛力。 實際上，大多數(shù)隊友都可以幫助您變得更好，您也可以幫助他們。 僅僅利用彼此的技能，做一些有趣的事情，并表現(xiàn)出友善，在不知不覺中就已經(jīng)結(jié)識了幾個新朋友，而工作將變得更加容易。

What if you’re surrounded by assholes? Don’t bother trying to be the positive change, just run to the exit, that’s definitely not a sustainable place to work, specially if you’re looking to actually love what you do.

如果您被混蛋包圍了怎么辦？ 不要為成為一個積極的改變而煩惱，只是跑到出口，那絕對不是一個可持續(xù)的工作場所，特別是如果您想真正熱愛自己的工作。

6.讓自己開心 (6. Allow yourself to have fun)

A simple fact of life is that eventually, we’re all going to die, so there’s no point in taking life super seriously. Have fun with it, take chances and when you can, make it entertaining, even if it’s just for you.

生活的一個簡單事實是，最終，我們都會死掉，所以沒有必要將生活當(dāng)回事。 盡享樂趣，把握機會，盡享樂趣，即使只是為您而設(shè)。

I feel like everyone is using memes and GIFs in presentations for that exact reason nowadays, but personally I like to take in one step further, where people might not expect it – easter eggs. I lost count how many times I’ve subtly quoted Michael Scott, I know it’s kind of silly but it just makes it fun for me and it’s not even that hard. See?

如今，我覺得每個人都在演示中使用模因和GIF，但是我個人更喜歡采取進一步措施，人們可能不會想到它-復(fù)活節(jié)彩蛋。 我數(shù)不清我引用邁克爾·斯科特(Michael Scott)的次數(shù)，我知道這很愚蠢，但這對我來說很有趣， 這并不難 。 看到？

The extra bonus you also get, is when someone notices it, you might have just made a new friend for life.

您還會獲得的額外獎勵是，當(dāng)有人注意到它時，您可能剛剛結(jié)了一個新朋友。

Another way to have fun is to work on something for yourself. It doesn’t even have to be something with big ambitions, just have fun and take the change to learn stuff and get better at something.

獲得樂趣的另一種方法是為自己工作。 它甚至不必具有雄心勃勃的東西，只需要玩得開心，并采取改變來學(xué)習(xí)知識并在某些方面變得更好。

Personally I really think having fun is key, that’s why I often engage in side things like making a poster for this thing or a sticker for that other thing, because I have fun with that and it’s a nice break from the day-to-day routine. And if your company does things like hack days, join in and find something fun to work on.

我個人真的認為，玩樂是關(guān)鍵，這就是為什么我經(jīng)常從事諸如為該事物制作海報或為另一事物做貼紙之類的附帶事情的原因，因為我對此感到很開心，而且這是每天休息的好時機常規(guī)。 而且，如果您的公司做諸如黑客大亂斗之類的事情，請加入并找到一些有趣的工作。

Remember this, the moment you stop having fun brings you once step closer to the moment when you start to hate it.

記住這一點，當(dāng)您停止玩樂的那一刻，您會比開始討厭它的那一刻更近一步。

7.休息一下 (7. Take a break)

Last, but probably the most important thing in this article, take a break.

最后，但也許是本文中最重要的一點，休息一下。

As you can see by the frequency I post on Medium, I’m not afraid of taking a break. When I thought of this point I did a bit of research and came across this article, which reminded me other things I read in the past — which is probably why I came up with it in the first place — where researchers have study people working and they found there’s an actual limit to the amount of time that a human being can stay concentrated in a single task without a break, and apparently that’s less than an hour (between 52–45 min, depending where you read it), so, you’re not actually making yourself or your employer any favours by working long hours without taking a break.

從我在“中”上發(fā)布的頻率可以看出，我不害怕休息一下。 當(dāng)我想到這一點時，我做了一些研究，發(fā)現(xiàn)了這篇文章 ，這使我想起了我過去讀過的其他東西-這也許就是為什么我首先提出它的原因-研究人員在這里研究工作和他們發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人在不間斷地專注于一項任務(wù)的時間上有一個實際的限制，而且顯然少于一小時(在52-45分鐘之間，具體取決于您在何處閱讀)，因此，實際上，長時間不休息不會真正使自己或您的雇主受益。

You need breaks to allow your brain to process information, and to make sure that the time you’re investing in something is actually pushing you forward. Work smarter, not harder.

您需要休息一下，以使您的大腦能夠處理信息，并確保您在某物上投入的時間實際上在推動您前進。 更聰明地工作，而不是更努力。

You might already been doing it unintentionally, by mindless scrolling slack or looking at cat memes on the internet, so why don’t be intentional about it?

您可能已經(jīng)無意地這樣做了，通過漫不經(jīng)心地滾動松弛或看著互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的貓咪模因，那么為什么不故意這樣做呢？

This goes beyond just taking breaks every hour or so. You also have to allow yourself to switch off when you leave work and enjoy the other things in your life. Again, if you don’t, you’re not actually making anyone any favours, you’re just burning yourself down.

這不僅僅是每小時大約休息一下。 您還必須在下班后關(guān)掉自己，享受生活中的其他事情。 再一次，如果您不這樣做，那么您實際上并沒有在給任何人任何幫助，只是在消磨自己。

If you take anything from this article, let it be this: Rest! Enjoy your family, enjoy your friends or just your own alone time, allow yourself to do whatever it takes for you to recharge, even if that’s watching The Office for the 10th time in a row. Loving what you do doesn’t mean you have to do it 24/7. You only have 4-5 hours of creative energy per day, so use them wisely and then chill.

如果您從本文中獲取任何東西，那就這樣吧：休息！ 享受您的家人，享受您的朋友，或者只是您自己的獨處時光，即使您連續(xù)第十次觀看《辦公室》，也可以自己做些讓您充值的事情。 愛你所做的并不意味著你必須24/7全天候地做。 每天您只有4-5個小時的創(chuàng)造力，因此請明智地使用它們，然后放松。

說起來容易做起來難嗎？ (Easier said than done?)

What if you don’t love absolutely anything about design? Why did you become a designer? Think hard about that, if you don’t see a way out I can only advise you to start looking for another job. You only get one life, so don’t waste more time doing something you hate.

如果您完全不喜歡設(shè)計，該怎么辦？ 你為什么成為設(shè)計師？ 認真考慮一下，如果您沒有出路，我只能建議您開始尋找另一份工作。 您只有一生，所以不要浪費更多的時間去做自己討厭的事情。

If there’s something you love or are interested in, invest some of your own time on that thing. For instance, if you’re a designer but your dream is to actually be an illustrator, the only way that someone hires you to do that kind of work (even if it’s for an internship) is if you either have some level of experience/education on it or if you have a portfolio with example of what you can do. You have to take the first step and put in the time if you want to switch. You might be thinking “Sure guy! that’s easier said than done.” but I’m not just saying it, this (and everything I write for that matter) comes from personal experience.

如果有您喜歡或感興趣的東西，請花一些自己的時間在那東西上。 舉例來說，如果您是設(shè)計師，但您的夢想是真正成為插畫家，那么某人雇用您從事此類工作(即使是實習(xí))的唯一方法是您是否具有一定的經(jīng)驗/對其進行教育，或者您是否有可以做的事的作品集。 如果要切換，則必須采取第一步并花時間。 您可能會想：“當(dāng)然！ 說起來容易做起來難。” 但是我不僅在說，這(以及我為此寫的所有內(nèi)容)都來自個人經(jīng)驗。

3 years into my first properly paying design job (post-struggle), I wanted to move to London and get into UX Design, but I felt like my background and experience (in graphic design) wasn’t enough to get me into it, so on my own time I worked on a couple of fictional projects with a engineer friend of mine (shout-out Rui Peres) and then used that work as portfolio to get my first UX Design job, in London.

在我完成第一個薪水合理的設(shè)計工作(掙扎后)的3年后，我想搬到倫敦并進入UX Design，但我感到自己的背景和經(jīng)驗(圖形設(shè)計方面)不足以吸引我，因此，在我自己的時間里，我和我的一個工程師朋友(大聲疾呼的Rui Peres )一起進行了一些虛構(gòu)的項目，然后將其用作投資組合，以在倫敦獲得我的第一份UX設(shè)計工作。

If you want change, you have to initiate it, and bear in mind that most likely you will still have to endure things that are less fun, because they will always be there.

如果要更改，則必須啟動更改，并記住，很可能您仍將不得不忍受那些不太有趣的事情，因為它們將一直存在。

Because design is my passion, I see anything that makes me a better designer as a growth opportunity I should take. Sure, it’s definitely still more fun to sit behind a sketch-book, iPad or computer and make something, but if I want my work to have impact, I need a bigger than my desk and that means doing things that are outside my comfort zone. Now, actually doing that will just help me be a better at the thing I love, so it’s not that difficult to accept it.

因為設(shè)計是我的激情，所以我認為任何使我成為更好的設(shè)計師的事物都是我應(yīng)該抓住的增長機會。 當(dāng)然，坐在素描本，iPad或計算機后面做東西肯定會更有趣，但是如果我想讓自己的作品產(chǎn)生影響，我需要的桌子比桌子還大，這意味著要做的事情超出了我的舒適范圍。 現(xiàn)在，實際上，這樣做只會幫助我在自己喜歡的事情上做得更好，因此接受它并不難。

Thanks for reading! 🙏

Since you’re here, my name is José Torre and I’m just a design loving designer born in Portugal, working & living in Canada.Nowadays I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I love my job and the company I work for is actually incredible, but since it wasn’t a straight path to get here I thought I would share some insights I’ve gather along the way.

既然你在這里，我的名字叫何塞·托雷(JoséTorre)，我是一位熱愛設(shè)計的設(shè)計師，出生于葡萄牙，在加拿大工作和生活。如今，我認為自己是幸運的人之一。 我熱愛我的工作，而我所工作的公司實際上是令人難以置信的，但是由于這不是到達這里的直路，我想我會分享我在此過程中收集到的一些見解。

If you feel like talking, connecting or just want to see what I’m up to, you can find me on Twitter, LinkedIn, and even Instagram.
