All of my friends back home are starting online school work today, so I thought since I’ve been doing this for two weeks now i could give my tips :)

1) wake up at a normal time, don’t let your sleep schedule get all wack. I try to wake up at 8 at the latest, excluding mondays. 

2) have!! a!!! morning!!! routine!!! this is so important, it gives your body/mind some buffer time between sleep/relax time and work time. It gets you in the right headspace for work, like I just know that after I brush my teeth its time to get to work. Make sure your morning routine includes un petite-dejournee (a small breakfast) so your mind is sharp :) 

3) listen to music while you work. It helps me a lot 

4) try to study in a different place than your room (i work in our dining room) but at the very least don’t work in your bed. It helps your body/mind distingush between places where you work and places where you relax. 

5) bring EVERYTHING you need to that study space, that way you’re not getting up every two minutes to grab something; and this includes a nice healthy snack and something to sip on :))

6) take breaks!! im writing this on my break heheh, try to stay away from your phone and youtube, so you don’t get sucked in. I try to take small breaks every hour and then a larger break at lunch time 

7) speaking of lunch time, actually take a break to eat and not do any work, I always eat my lunch with my fam, have a lil cup of coffee and then i go outside or do some yoga for like a half hour to fully give my mind and body a nice break before getting back to work, it helps prevent an afternoon slump if you have a nice lunch break. 

8) try to make it fun?? Sounds wild but I like color coding and using calligraphy in my notes, because I have time and it makes work more fun 

9) time block; this is life changing man. Every day when i get settled into my work space I look at what classes I will be working on that day, and estimate how much time each class will take me, and then I make myself a schedule, scheduling in my breaks as well. It helps keep me from procrastinating

L’ecole Advanced Studies

Diploma in Event Management, October 18, 2016

Week 1

Class 1

So I started university on Tuesday after a gap of more than 10 years at L’ecole Advanced Studies for a Diploma in Event Management. It always surprises the amount I learn about event management every day! I really like my course and hopefully it will help me to succeed in the ruthless market of event management. However, I didn’t expect it to be so heavily business. It makes sense though that event managers need to deal with buying stock, dealing with a budget, marketing their event etc. Having a sound knowledge of business will certainly help with this.

Thankfully I have more than a decade of experience in running a family business of advertising & sales. Along with this I am also running my own catering business. We are gradually expanding and it’s an amazing opportunity for me to learn more about the art of an event management.  

Although food is a very small part of an event but it’s one of the key element for any successful event.

Types of Event

Wedding

Corporate

Fundraiser

Annual Dinner

Birthday Parties

Fashion

Musical

 Event Management in Pakistan.

Karachi being the largest and most populated city of Pakistan has the highest number of event management companies followed by Lahore and Islamabad. Karachi even has the higher number of events taking place here but when you talk about the events in terms of revenue or money Lahore is the leader followed by Islamabad and Karachi.

It has many reasons to it such in Lahore and Islamabad clients wants to spend more and sometime to show off as well.

Few important things to remember for any successful event e.g. planning and execution, relationship and coordination between your front and back hand managers is utmost importance. If there is a communication gap between the two managers disaster is bound to happen at the event.  

Successful event managers also make sure that the damage or loss of inventory is not more than 0.75 % to 1.25 % in any event. If the damage or loss percentage of inventory is more than the said formula than there is something really wrong with your labors who are handling the inventory. You need to make sure that the labors are well trained.  

Responsibilities of Managers

Responsibility of Front Hand Manager is to deliver events on time, within budget, that meet and hopefully exceed expectations. Setting, communicating and maintaining timelines and priorities on every project. Travelling to on-site inspections and project managing events. Being responsible for all project budgets from start to finish.

Bank Hand Manager is responsible for dealing with all vendors and make sure everything is readily available on time for the event according to your client’s requirement.  It is also the duty of bank hand manager that vendors are paid on time.

Ultimately, the key to quality in every aspect in any given event is simply doing the little things correctly all the time. It is in paying attention to the finer details of your event that your guests are truly wowed and it is in this same manner that you’ll be able to enrich their experiences

It’s a wonderful career to work in because you never have the same day twice.
