burnout. With different perspectives, Carl dealing with a more corporate environment and Jake with running is own business, as well as a more isolated situation, they provide some suggestions on how designers can prevent burnout. It's easy to get caught up in the day to day activities and the looming deadlines. However it's important that designers take care of themselves so they can be a more productive freelancer and business owner. Both share personal stories about their own past situations and share what they have learned.","date_published":"2016-02-28T16:00:00.000-05:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/0872b33f-2d39-4396-b721-e6f696d6e6e3/54ca4056-d166-4033-b171-4486d1520e31.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":57177621,"duration_in_seconds":2378}]},{"id":"http://www.rookiedesigner.com/?p=2408","title":"Rookie Designer 149 – Office Spaces","url":"https://www.rookiedesigner.com/rd149","content_text":"In this latest episode Jake and Carl talk about office spaces.

We'll also touch upon strategies for collecting your files for output and working with the printer.","date_published":"2008-06-25T17:00:00.000-04:00","attachments":[{"url":"https://aphid.fireside.fm/d/1437767933/0872b33f-2d39-4396-b721-e6f696d6e6e3/ecc41392-746a-462d-b290-6ffb989e7a69.mp3","mime_type":"audio/mpeg","size_in_bytes":40300276,"duration_in_seconds":2513}]},{"id":"http://www.rookiedesigner.com/rookie/?p=58","title":"Rookie Designer 100 – On the Job Hunt Again","url":"https://www.rookiedesigner.com/rd100","content_text":"Its that time again... job hunting time.
