Use these ideas to improve your personal and business productivity!
You might remember this slide from Artist Boot Camp when we talked about time management and blocking out your calendar. I found this short video from Christina Hills at Website Creation Workshop on how and why to use multiple Google Calendars for your business. I’ve been using them this way for some time and agree that it is a smart way to organize time and projects. Here are some ideas for using Google Calendars in your art business.
- Maintain a specific calendar for time blocking studio and marketing work.
- Keep a calendar of due dates for entries to exhibits, festivals, etc…
- Maintain your personal event calendar for workshops, exhibits and other events that you would like to attend, so that you are sure to work them into your schedule.
- Are you blogging? Create a specific content calendar to stay on track for what you will post when. (Yes, I’m taking my own advice for my new blog and website!)
- Use a Google Calendar for your own events or those that you are a part of that you would like to publish to your fan base. Embed the calendar to your website or blog. When it is time to make updates or add an event – all you have to do is make the change in your Google calendar, and it will automatically appear on your site. Fans, in return, can directly add them to their calendars.
