Tips for organizing time

Artists from all types of medium are faced with organizing time and taking care of business details. Avoid looking at these business details as the torture chamber.

Taking care of business details is heavily related to living life. Many business principles can be applied to our personal life decisions helping to better our lifestyle.

Business is assets and liabilities

If it is a liability; correct it, solve it, or get rid of it. Keep your assets in operation for business success and financial gains.

Business Ideas

Regardless of the home business or business opportunities we are all engaged in, the creative, need to constantly produce business ideas. The business ideas are the springs for progress.

Keep tract of details

When details are neglected liability starts peeking around the corner preparing to sabotage your efforts. Managing assets will keep profits managed and formulate an income for a successful lifestyle.

Habits, schedules, and time blocks

Everyone organizes their entrepreneur business differently as your habits and schedules are being fitted into the desired lifestyle. Work a system which you can manage and enjoy.

Enjoying business details is not acceptable to many creative type peoples; however, it can be done. Blocking tasks of time are my preferences. The reason for blocking time is to allow you to choose the best space of time which will have no interferences.

Tips for organizing time

1. I absolutely hate bookkeeping. I schedule this project when the hour is quiet and no family members or friends will disturb me. I discovered it was not the bookkeeping which was disturbing me, but rather the interruptions as each interference made a simple 15 minute task take 2 or 3 hours because of constantly starting and stopping. No wonder I grew to hate this business task.

2. It also helps to do the task on the same day at the same time as it becomes a habit. It is critical that you make that block of time a habit. Once it becomes a habit your mind will not wonder away creating a self interruption.

3. Block the hours of the day for assignments and duties, as they do in school or some types of employment.

4. Allow time flexibility for necessary and unnecessary interruptions. Permitting time for interruptions will help keep you from becoming frustrated or stressed.

5. Plan your projects in blocks to prepare for deadlines. In high school some students studied for their mid-term tests the night before. There is no way that you can make 30 pieces of jewelry in one night for a show to be held the next day.

6. Mark the beginning and the end time for the creative project. Stop, review, and break down how long each section took. Think of how you can shorten the process to increase production.

Let me ask you, “Do you not feel good or even elated when a project is done exactly the way you want it in a short amount of time? Proper planning will do this for you. It pays to organize!

Once you have organized the blocks of time for both business details and creative time for designing, manufacturing, and quality control inspection you will discover how better management of your time is a blessing.

Blocking your time for business details and creativity will also give you more time to manage other aspects of your life.

Tips for organizing time is essential for enjoying any arts and crafts or hobbies of your choosing. Discover a variety of hobbies which may be used for personal interest and pleasure or for business opportunities in the home or in a commercial location.
