We’ve talked about a system for organizing your week and all the things in it, along with how to maximize your time to be productive through time blocking.
We are now going to shift into processes.
Google told me that process is defined as “a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end”. I like to define processes as the thing that helps me not to forget things and frees my brain up to focus on other things…like making art.
Think about all the things in your business that you do regularly. Send out marketing emails, pack up for art shows, write blog posts, pay your sales taxes, set up for County Studio Tour. It is likely that you do these things without any type of checklist…and maybe you do them well. But, I’m guessing there has been a time that something fell through the cracks…especially when you are short on time and have to rush through the process.
I had to drive 3 hours back home from an art show once, in rush hour traffic, because I forgot to pack the canopy to my art show tent. My canopy! Hence….checklist. ✅
