how to manage my work day.

i have been really busy with life lately.  my 2 year old started preschool. my etsy store has been picking up in business, and i have been working on some wedding invitations for some wonderful people i know!

i also have been trying to nail down a work schedule that fits me just right.  i have been doing a little research on how other entrepreneurs manage their time.  i tell you, it has helped me out tremendously.  designing is easy to me, its organizing my time that is hard.  i did get some great advice on a couple of blogs...

1. ship products on designated days.

2. check email only in the morning for an hour and at lunch for an hour.

3. choose a particular day to post on your blog. this is to let everyone follow what you do on a day to day basis and to get to know me as a designer.

4. communicate with other people in my design field.  they are a community not a competitor.

5. try to put up a new item every two weeks on my online store.

these are some of my goals starting last week.  trying to implement them in my schedule.
