5 bad habits that every designer should avoid.

CH
Come read the list of bad habit below to see whether you have one of the habit. Note: The list will grow overtime as time pass and i become more wiser (Not grow older!).

1. Assume Everything
Whether you are starting a new project or take over colleague's project, its best to ask directly the current progress and what to expect in the end. Even you had heard them talk about the project before, that doesn't mean anything. What you think you should do is not necessarily what them really want you to do. If you thing changes is needed, just tell them. Don't assume you know things and don't assume they know everything you do (They are not god and so are you.) .

What you think you should do is not necessarily what them really want you to do. 

2. Didn't ask question
When you simply assume thing and didn't ask anything, there's where problem start. Ask question to clarify thing whether to yourself and to your colleague.

3. Ask stupid question
This may seem contradict to the third habit above but what i mean here is we should ask the right question not just any question.

Before we ask any question, we must ask ourselves first : 

Have i done this before?
What i know about this so far?
How is it different from the last time?

We should ask the right question not just any question.

4. Follow blindly
Act according to circumstances not by procedure or standard material. I once make a stupid mistake (A really really stupid mistake when i thing about it now.), the object was a woman but according to material, it was a he. When i type the word, i didn't even question it. Of course, i get the "price" later.

Act according to circumstances not by procedure or standard material.

5. Quick to defend yourself and fail to defend yourself
OK, the title above may seem confusing, how could you defend yourself and not defend yourself at the same time?!

When bad things happen (Shit does happen!), do not jump to conclusion first. Sometime its quite hard to remain calm especially when they just snap at you but you don't even know what the reason are. Try to see things rationally to look for source of the problem. If it is your fault, admit it, apologies and quickly solve it. If it is not your fault, do not try to blame someone else. Making a fuss out of it will not look good on you. In fact, it will not look good on anyone else.

Do not jump to conclusion first before you know what is really happen.

That's all for now. So, what do you think? What kind of bad habit that you find yourself doing or other doing?
