My New Year’s resolution is to figure out how to work less and make more while sticking to a quality work/life integration schedule. Heavy on the “life” part, specifically family, specifically my new baby boy.
So, how is this even possible with all the things requiring my attention?
It's possible because I don’t fill my weekday painting calendar to the max. Leaving just one workday per week completely open has been a game changer to my business, mental clarity, and overall happiness.
Reasons to schedule a “me/office/studio day” every single week:
- Because we work for ourselves and we can.
- It leaves room for project spillover.
- It leaves room for a last-minute commission that we REALLY want to do.
- It’s good for the soul. Reset, refresh, and jumpstart creativity.
- It makes room for extra time with family.
- Time to work on the painting idea that’s been lingering in the back of our minds.
- Time to clean/organize our studio/car.
- Time for sketches/invoices/website updates.
Listen to this week’s episode to hear an explanation of each reason. This is the first step to making more by working LESS!
