Need to get your business or studio in order? You might be better off working in small blocks of time versus investing a great deal of time and effort, such as a whole weekend, at once. Try carving out fifteen minutes a day to get things in shape.
Here are some tasks you can take care of in that daily chunk of time:
- Delete old emails that you no longer need.
- Organize your inventory.
- Unsubscribe from e-newsletters and advertisements cluttering your inbox…(not Artisan Advantage!)
- Add new contacts and business cards you’ve collected to your contact management system.
- Clean out a desk drawer.
- Purge old files on your computer.
- Get rid of old supplies that you are no longer using.
- Clean off your desk or work space.
- Organize and file receipts.
- Clean out your bag or wallet.
- Go through the contacts on your phone. Make sure they’re up-to-date and get rid of outdated numbers.
- Try out a new system for your office, such as a paperless storage system like Evernote.
- Do a quick cleaning or dust.
It’s much easier to work when you know where projects stand and where your tools are. Taking small steps to keep things in order on a regular basis will help you to stay productive and motivated.
