I get so many requests for help or to get involved in different projects, that being able to say No is very important. Saying Yes to your dreams is just as important though. That is where a good list of what you want to get out of your business AND your life helps tremendously when you are deciding when to say Yes or No!Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutorhttp://www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/faux-jade-leaf-charms/10051/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517797252779990852.post-16729783988597957012010-05-31T07:53:43.349-06:002010-05-31T07:53:43.349-06:00A white board on your studio door made me smile.

My list is private--no boys allowed <br />My day is like a sandwich--emails, computer time including blog reading morning and evening. Work in the middle. I tend to accomplish much this way.<br />Very nice and informative article.FiberBeadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08723510852020903830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517797252779990852.post-1709617524850201352009-01-09T11:46:00.000-06:002009-01-09T11:46:00.000-06:00opps, that's cookie, not cookier.

She also tells me when my studio gets out of control, start on one table and work your way around the room, it will be done before you know it. She is a smart cookier.<BR/><BR/>Luann I will have to take a look at those articles again.<BR/><BR/>Theresa, if you find some magical bead organizer elves can you send them on over?Heather Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555102264780529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517797252779990852.post-86196005574579189472009-01-08T13:10:00.000-06:002009-01-08T13:10:00.000-06:00I wrote 21 articles on tips for cleaning at my blo...I wrote 21 articles on tips for cleaning at my blog on Wordpress.

My big goal this year is organization, which means lists, and there is nothing I like better than crossing something off.<BR/><BR/>Mornings are for computer work, afternoons are for beading and designing right now. Late afternoon until evening is me time -- if I don't play, I become very bored. Everything after that is family time. It's not a perfect schedule, but it works for now!<BR/><BR/>TheresaBead-Musedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921670436870164582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517797252779990852.post-33107114171788670852009-01-08T10:33:00.000-06:002009-01-08T10:33:00.000-06:00Like you I have a loose structure to my days - bra...Like you I have a loose structure to my days - brain work in the mornings if possible (writing coherent programs, nitpicky correspondence, financials, schedule making).<BR/><BR/>Errands, chores and whatever activities I can sneak in happen in early afternoon because otherwise I sit at my desk and doze / surf aimlessly. If I am stuck at my desk, I write ahead for blog posts, do listings for sites and take pictures (best light in my 'studio' is during noon to 2 in the winter!)<BR/><BR/>Evenings are a combination of family and light work time - typically my production work is done while my daughter is sitting and doing homework at the studio table or while we're watching videos together or during her swim lessons. Sometimes she'll help me out or I can help her out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517797252779990852.post-72623742920974001082009-01-08T09:22:00.000-06:002009-01-08T09:22:00.000-06:00My tip for getting things done on your to-do list....My tip for getting things done on your to-do list.
