Need to get your business or studio in order?  You might be better off working in small blocks of time versus investing a great deal of time and effort, such as a whole weekend, at once.  Try carving out fifteen minutes a day to get things in shape.

Here are some tasks you can take care of in that daily chunk of time:

  •  Delete old emails that you no longer need.
  •  Organize your inventory.
  • Unsubscribe from e-newsletters and advertisements cluttering your inbox…(not Artisan Advantage!)
  • Add new contacts and business cards you’ve collected to your contact management system.
  • Clean out a desk drawer.
  • Purge old files on your computer.
  • Get rid of old supplies that you are no longer using.
  • Clean off your desk or work space.
  • Organize and file receipts.
  • Clean out your bag or wallet.
  • Go through the contacts on your phone. Make sure they’re up-to-date and get rid of outdated numbers.
  • Try out a new system for your office, such as a paperless storage system like Evernote.
  • Do a quick cleaning or dust.

It’s much easier to work when you know where projects stand and where your tools are. Taking small steps to keep things in order on a regular basis will help you to stay productive and motivated.
