Thank you Alyson, I’ve created organized chaos in my studio. I’ve avoided dealing with it at all. I now feel I could tackle. And tame that monster and reclaim my space. Small chunks of time will be my implementation of my plan. The podcast was great!

I appreciate your sharing this information with us. My weakness is purging–I’m always thinking “Perhaps I can use that later.” It doesn’t have to be expensive, it’s just the idea that it is useful until it disintegrates into a fine powder (i.g. “Oh, wait, I can use that powder as texture in that picture!”) Lol! See it rarely ends for this creative mind. It’s a continuous battle between being resourceful and KISS (keeping it simple, sweetie) which has its’ rewards too.

In reply to Jackie.

I agree, Jackie. I find myself cleaning out when I feel overwhelmed or out of control.

In reply to Leslie.

Leslie: I’m so happy to hear this. Yes! I had lots of repeaters for that class. We “get” organized and then fall off the wagon. Nothing like a class you pay for to get you reorganized.

Thanks so much for this! I found her insights very useful in my own re-org project. Great stuff!

There may be no right way to get organized, but your Organize Your Art Biz class helped me so much! I took it the first time when I was writing my doctoral dissertation, which took a lot of creative energy. The suggestions you made helped me immensely, and not because you prescribed certain things, but because you challenged us to think about organizational strategies in a way that worked for our creative goals. I took the class a second time a few years later because it was so motivational. I still use most everything that developed for me from that class. I just had to let you know that it was a wonderful class and not nearly as prescriptive as you might have thought or implied in your comment!
