#17 Don’t forget to poop.
As funny and fun as it may be to say this tip out loud, (just start going up to people in studio and tell then this randomly) the idea behind it is just making sure you take care of yourself. You may think you are getting ahead by staying up countless hours and not leaving your chair for anything until your design is finished, but it is difficult to do work when your body is forcing distractions (like headaches or stomach aches). Eating, sleeping, and yes, even pooping are all things that need to happen for your body to function. You will be surprised how much more you can accomplish with a fresh mind and body. It is a scary thought to stop working when your deadline is staring you in the face from the clock on your cell phone, but if you schedule in the time to take care of your body you will definitely notice a difference in your ability to produce more in less time.
