Regarding #1, it’s not necessary to include a year in the copyright notice… and having no year is probably better than having a “dated” year.

For those with web programming expertise, it’s also quite easy to add a bit of javascript that will always display the current year.

Tearing up old work sounds like a great ritual!

Perhaps check through your brushes? Throw out all those you did not use in the last year…

If you use Acrylic Inks give them a good shake-up once a month? They go rather solid otherwise!

Perhaps consider the almost unthinkable…all those unfinished works of art, those cluttering-up the studio. Seriously if it’s still there from 2013 it’s unlikely to be finished in 2015. Shred it it’s so good for the spiritual declutter.

Great list of things to tackle in the new year! Here’s how to never have to update the current year again: If you’re not afraid of using some PHP in your website’s footer file, you can make your copyright date automatically update itself. I started my site in 2004 so I hardcode that in, but the current year is automatic. The code looks like this:

Alyson, As always I appreciate your recommendations.
Unfortunately, I’ve not yet applied the full spectrum of your organizational details, but I am in a new studio, shared with four other fabulous artists with enthusiasm for making 2015 a fabulously successful year. Big step!!!
Paperwork is January priority when I return home from Nashville with my first grandchild’s first Christmas with my husband, my son and daughter-in-law tomorrow.
Thank you.

Yes, it’s called evergreen text. https://aaartbizold.wpengine.com/2012/10/evergreen-content.html

Thanks for that reminder, Phil.
