List Making: Get Organized
Lately, my life has been very busy. Taxes are due, summer’s almost here, and there’s a lot I’ve got to do. Lately, I’ve been making lists to help me get things done, and they’re amazing little things. I also use them in design, especially when juggling multiple clients. Your list might be something as simple as:
Week’s Goals
- Get Hosting Site Designed
- Work on portfolio design
- Do taxes
Or, you could make a list each day. Lately, I’ve been doing this, and it helps a lot with staying organized, and it helps your time management skills as well. It provides a sense of direction (what you have to get done that day) and accomplishment (when you can finally scratch that client from your list). Post it notes are, I think, the easiest ways to make a list. It’s extremely quick to jot down 5-10 goals for the day, and you can throw them away (or keep them, if you haven’t met all your goals) at the end of the day.
I’ll have some more design tutorials/articles soon, I promise, as well as the new blog design. Can’t wait to show you guys!
