  The idea that we have to work long hours, because the world will burn otherwise. This applies especially to the young designers. You do not have to pay your dues by forfeiting weekends and relationships. There is no such thing as a graphic design emergency.

  I recently decided to close for business abruptly at 6 pm every day. It's changed my life. I get more excited to come back to work the next day, because I go home and have a life. Clients who call or email at night/on weekends get ignored until the next business day.
