246. My #1 Scheduling Tip to Avoid Overwhelm
My New Year\u2019s resolution is to figure out how to work less and make more while sticking to a quality work/life integration schedule. Heavy on the \u201clife\u201d part, specifically family, specifically my new baby boy.
So, how is this even possible with all the things requiring my attention?
It's possible because I don\u2019t fill my weekday painting calendar to the max. Leaving just one workday per week completely open has been a game changer to my business, mental clarity, and overall happiness.
Reasons to schedule a \u201cme/office/studio day\u201d every single week:
- Because we work for ourselves and we can.
- It leaves room for project spillover.
- It leaves room for a last-minute commission that we REALLY want to do.
- It\u2019s good for the soul. Reset, refresh, and jumpstart creativity.
- It makes room for extra time with family.
- Time to work on the painting idea that\u2019s been lingering in the back of our minds.
- Time to clean/organize our studio/car.
- Time for sketches/invoices/website updates.
