It turns out that a week in not actually enough time to catch up on bookkeeping when illness drops in. Ah well, life is nothing if not negotiable. I’m rescheduling bookkeeping in bite-sized chunks for today through Sunday. I’ll then be ready to file sales taxes, do my schedule C, and be all set up for ongoing 2013 bookkeeping.
That WILL feel great!

Patricia: work in manageable chunks. I am in the same place as you are and I need to make art as well as market it. A challenge to you and to me!

funny you mention this. i intuitively start organizing, cleaning the studio, deleting files, posting promo stuff up on facebook. when i cleared out and threw lots of trash out and set up the studio for another round of production, my wife says that i am nesting.

It is actually very simple. There is a column for each series and I just number and highlight cells below each column as I add to the series. Each year is its own highlighted color. It allows me to see which series are growing the fastest and reminds me of other series I may want to revisit without the emotional distraction of seeing the artwork. The spreadsheet makes it easy to see all my series at one glance.
You can see a picture of it on my blog post “Keeping Track of Multiple Series”. It will make a lot more sense when you see the spreadsheet.

I like your O-I, I-O theory. I’m a photographer. I’ve found over the years that if I go out with my camera with the intent to feed my soul first, customers see that and respond. If I go out to record images I think will sell, the images fall flat.
