I think I may try to implement some regular days for shipping, inventory, stuff like that. I totally agree about having time set aside for creative work!Karen Tottenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01511687726517324742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-17551681482721632972013-10-15T18:59:10.830-04:002013-10-15T18:59:10.830-04:001.

I think I may try to enforce a bit more structure - blocking things in to my day in 3 hr blocks. While I am a full time artist - I work in so many mediums that I do hop around a bit. And I teach... <br />4. I agree that a paper list is SO much more effective. <br />5. Last but not least. Time to play and experiment is essential! It feeds the soul! Sure you love what you do and enjoy making the staples... but the playtime is balm to the creative spirit.

I struggle with time management only because I work from home and have so many things on my To Do list that I spend too much time deciding and not enough time doing. (My word for 2013 is action, but I don't think spinning my wheels is what I had in mind! =) Right now I'm in the process of purging our basement of each and every unnecessary element and item in the hopes of creating an inviting, functional work space. Now I will add to that a time management schedule to properly corral those To Do items for maximum efficiency. I look forward to hearing how beautifully this new schedule works for you! =)Lolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264017182929483267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-55397090640788796042013-10-12T12:28:23.806-04:002013-10-12T12:28:23.806-04:00Great post, Rebekah.

A note on yesterday's calendar, "Schedule time for creating new products." Yup, even though I have a bajillion ideas, I spend too much time futzing around to actually see them through. I have products that I started to develop a couple years ago, got tired of and put aside. Not good. <br /><br />So thanks for the kick in the pants and the reminder that this is something we all struggle with. :-)<br /><br />Hope your next two weeks go smoothly!sandysewinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510529475226821571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-86145754677323620342013-10-12T11:03:54.653-04:002013-10-12T11:03:54.653-04:00This is so, so smart - I love the approach.

I think I'll borrow your approach and see if that works better!

However, I'm long in the tooth enough to know this is part of my creative process and it's unlikely to change now so as long as I stop every so often to corral everything I'll probably continue that way. What I do agree with though is the huge distraction of technology...we all rely on it to manage our businesses and yet it's the biggest drain on time I know and so hard to ignore...especially now we can carry it around with us. I really need to get a grip on this...wish me luck!Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974728482917154566noreply@blogger.com
