Description

Happy New Year! It's 2022 and everyone seems to be making plans. This week on The Thriving Women Artists' Podcast, Ping, Sarah, and Dorien are talking about how making plans can help you with not just your art, but finding that elusive work life balance too.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Planning makes you more efficient with how you use your time. The more efficient you are with your time, the less stressed you will be, and potentially you will be able to take on more work. 
• When making a plan you should include time for yourself or your sketchbook work, not just your client work. 
• Having some down time to take care of yourself can allow you to de-stress. Also planning time to connect with your clients more allows you to improve your relationship with them and gain a greater understanding of the work. 
• As an artist it feels like you need to fill your weekdays with work but just cramming in work might not actually be productive. 
• There are often deadlines or events where you want to go and show your work. Planning in advance of these can help you hit these targets by knowing what you need to do and when. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Making a plan will help make you successful' 

‘Being productive all the time doesn't really work for me' 

‘In order to be productive you need to know yourself' 

‘We learn from each other and I'm so thankful for that'
