I’ve been using a planner since I started my business in 2001 and it works well enough. Also got my calendar on my iphone and cpu coordinated. The hardest task now is not knowing what I have to anticipate. Being the main caregiver for my father for the past 6 years means it’s a constantly changing situation. Trying to regulate my work time around that and take care of myself has been a challenge.

Thank you Alyson and Cathy! I’m in the process of writing about creating space and this post is very timely. Creating space comes in the form of time too – it’s the fourth dimension after all 🙂 I loved Cathy’s calendar system and wrote a little post about it on my blog: https://mary-klein.blogspot.com/2018/01/twelve-months.html

This sounds great- I would also like to see a pic:) I especially like that you always have 12 months up at a time…

You have many good ideas. Thank you for sharing. Some of these, like following up in 3 weeks, are daunting, but I plan to try them this coming year.

I love the art planner as a wall visual. I made the mistake last year of booking too many things at one time. Yes- way too overwhelming for me to promote, and I see now from your newsletter, that the similar dates could be very confusing for my collectors & students. Per your suggestion about not taking time to find the “perfect tool,” I plan to cut apart a calendar, (we all get about a dozen free ones this time of year), and reassemble as a “timeline.” This will keep me from overbooking this year. Thanks for the tip! Looking forward to a more relaxed, productive year. In January, I leave for Guanajuato, Mexico to paint for 2 months. My goal is to find a wider audience for my work in bigger venues than where I regularly show. I have been juried into national shows; now I need to schedule shows in major cities.

That’s a brilliant idea!!! I’m going to try that this year! And I love the idea of it being modular so I can add in the first quarter of the year as I am in my final quarter.
