Excellent tips, not only for creative people but for all people with ambition to get organized. Her social media tips are quite thorough as are her tips for establishing a healthy system to keep you going once you get started.
If you are a creative person, you probably wear many hats: creater, business person, salesman, and family member. But it's likely that your physical space does not make these roles easier. Along with a disorganized workspace, office, and home, your head is probably cluttered as well, making it hard to see what you should be doing.
This book provides a one-stop shop to help you with both problems.Written by someone who is in the creative professions herself, she knows first-hand how her techniques can improve your life. In addition she has helped many other artists get organized.
The first part of the book is designed to help you organize your physical space. Her "workstation" technique is easy to do and makes lots of sense. It's well written and clearly set out.
While also important, the other section, Headspace, I felt was more like a laundry list of things to do. It wasn't as well written nor did it do as good a job at explaining things. But it provides an excellent starting point for running a creative business.
Really useful for many different types of creative work! I enjoyed the parts about organising your workspace and home life the most, but had some parts that I had never considered, like setting up a will. It covers way more areas than I had expected it to.
This is a very thorough book that covers a lot of ground. My only issue is that many of the artistic and creative sorts would not be inclined to read it. It would be good if there were more point form pages and quick checklists (maybe as an appendix). It is a great book but a bit of an information overload, and too much work to put into practice. Maybe it should be called the Organizing Bible for Artists and be sold as a dip in reference book. It would be excellent to keep on a shelf and dip into when needed. Overall an excellent and extensive book. Thank you
