An essential step of being organized is by setting productive goals. Here are 5 very beneficial ways to accomplish your goals.
1. You will get more accomplished.
2. You will know in advance what is needed.
3. No more missed art club meetings.
4. A neat work space = greater creativity.
5. No more running here and there, taking time to find materials or find your day runner.
Being organized begins by making a schedule of what you want to accomplish and when it needs to be finished. You will know exactly where the materials are to complete your project and have an estimate of the time that is needed . This eliminates the need to spend unnecessary time looking for some misplaced item.
You may think that unorganized people make paintings as beautiful as anyone else. This is probably true, but how efficient are they? They may rush here and there, miss club meetings or show dates and are generally unsure of what they want to produce.
Do you find it hard to have time to learn new information about your chosen field? Most of us spend time in our cars, whether we work at home or hold a 9 to 5 job. This time will be well spent and you will be more motivated, if you listen to C D”s or MP3′s that are informative and inspiring. Even if you are able to listen for short periods, over time the information you receive will add up.
If you have a deadline of having a commissioned piece ready for your collector, or an art show is coming up, if there is no goal plan for getting it done, there is a good chance you will be rushing and not do the job that you or others are expecting. Procrastination and not using your time in a productive way slows you down. Lack of a goal plan may be destructive.
To increase your productivity, know exactly what needs to be done and when. Even if there is no deadline the painting still needs to be finished, so decide when it will be finished and incorporate this into your goal plan so that necessary time is scheduled to complete your painting.
At the right top there is an opt-in box where I invite you to join the Valle of Yellow Creek Art Studio E-Zine. The E-Zine is published each 1st and 3rd Saturday.
