Hello and welcome Artsy friends. . . what's happening in your studio?
This week I am spending my time getting caught up on more paper work. It actually feels so good to get all my ducks in a row. . . cleaning up some personal files and archiving some business ones. It takes a bit of time to get my brain to flip to the business side but once I'm there look out, the paper starts a flyin'.
I think if I hadn't gone into art I would have liked book keeping. . . now there's opposite land for ya. I think it's the organizing thing. . . I really enjoy that. It's a constant struggle for me. . . to find a place for everything and the time to do it. My problem is I love 'STUFF'! Stuff all around! As long as it's organized I'm good.
I think what I've learning over my business years is to not to leave it all to the end of the year, keep a running total of my business activity. . . much easier when tax time comes around, it was actually a snap.
I keep a 5 column Analysis pad (I picked up at Staples) handy so it's easy to jot things down. Some of you may rather use a computer program but I have found I can't always get to the computer when I have a entry so I find this works for me. Later I enter it all into a spread sheet. It's important to find a system that you will use.
Have a great week, do some organizing. . . only if you feel like it.
Talk to you soon
