Gerçekten söylemiş mi teyit edemedim, Mark Twain’e atfedilen iki ayrı alıntı var. Biri; “Eğer kurbağa yemeniz gerekiyorsa, en iyisi bunu sabah ilk iş olarak yapmaktır. Ve eğer işiniz iki kurbağa yemekse, büyük olandan başlamak daha iyidir.” Diğeri; “Sabah ilk iş canlı kurbağa ye, ve günün kalanında başına daha kötü bir şey gelmeyecek”. Öğrenmeyi Öğrenmek dersinde bunu “önce kurbağanızı yiyin” larak duydum. Günün, veya örneğin Pazartesileri için haftanın, en zor işini yapmak hem ertelemeyi azaltmanıza hem de geri kalan işler için daha rahat ve pozitif yaklaşabilmenize olanak verecek. Kurbağa en zor iş, en az sevilen iş veya iyi olmadığınız bir iş olabilir. Ve lütfen kurbağınızı sadece mecazi olarak yiyin, hayvanları yemeyin. Could not verify but it’s said that it was Mark Twain who said something like “If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.” In another version it’s something like “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” I heard it in MOOC – Learning How to Learn as “eat your frog first”. Doing the most difficult job of the day, or of the week for Monday for example, will help you in stopping procrastination, and will help you in having a more positive and relax approach for rest of the tasks of the day. Your frog might be your least liked task or the task you are not very good at. And, please eat your frog only metaphorically, and leave alll animals off your plate. #learnedtoday #bugünöğrendim #bugunogrendim #timemanagement #zamanyönetimi #procrastination #erteleme #personaldevelopment #kişiselgelişim #inspirationalquotes #dailyinspiration #inspiration #success #business #personalgrowth #dedication #mooc #learningtolearn #learninghowtolearn #marktwain #eatyourfrogfirst #öncekurbağınızıyiyin #taskmanagement #motivation #entrepreneur #quote #productivity #planner #business #quoteoftheday #quotes #time #goodmorning #todolist #todo #planning #thingstodo #goals

Workshop skills today, it took our team a second to work out what’s what and I’m  still not sure know if we know the difference between a drywall, a decking and an eyebolt but it was fun understanding the strength and mechanics of putting different fixing and materials together.

Mapping out ideas for the guest journey for my hotel room design project

The Energy House experiment at Salford University is not only unique to Salford but it was a real pleasure and insight to listen to a presentation on it. The experiment is looking at various ways to conserve energy, lower the costs and make our homes more efficient. I found it particularly interesting in the difference between solid brick builds v cavity brick build. The question and answer session at the end gave me the opportunity to ask about solar energy and its given me food for thought on the materials I will choose for my retail concept.

In London for the weekend and decided to take a visit to Kew Gardens. Walking around I came across The Hive design concept. contemporary art at its best, the installation has one thousand led lights that glow from the vibrations of all the bees in Kew Gardens. I love how the delicate intricacies are also super strong. Absolutely stunning place Kew Gardens, The Hive is an amazing concept. its given me inspiration for my sectional piece of my retail design concept for GK gallery space.

Images from our class field trip visiting GK Gallery, a fab little spot in Salford. It is an art gallery and cafe which is a real trend at the minute in retail, creating multi use spaces. This is the space we are using to create our own retail design concept so it was really interesting to see GK Gallery interpretation of the space. We had to take in and note at least 10 materials used as well as the layout. I liked they way the design is compact and can incorporate a gallery, cafe, viewing platform, retail area and seated area without it feeling cramped. The one thing I did note was I felt the signage was lacking and the limited signage I saw is unclear. I have been walking past the gallery on a daily basis and have never noticed any signage and had no idea it was a gallery and retail space as well as a cafe.
