Sonya 1Staying Organized!
August 13th 2008 18:41
It’s so easy to let things fall through the cracks without proper organization. This is a topic that seems to be exhausted in blogs, newsletters, and websites. It’s important to keep talking about it, though, because it seems to be a big mistake in freelance writing businesses.
What do you use to stay organized? I use:
· A month map notebook
· A large wall calendar
I also use, as mentioned before, Julie Hood’s Organized Writer’s Side-Tracked Planner. Lately, though, I haven’t been using it because my office is still under construction – so, I have to keep my materials very streamlined and portable.
It’s easy to fall out of organization when you get sick, overwhelmed, or something personal comes up. Creating a “safety” net is important to prevent this from happening. For example, plan ahead if you keep a month map or daily planner for on-going gigs. If you have a foundation in place that outlines things well in advance, it’s easy to pick things back up when you return to work. Creating drafts ahead of time will also help, too.
How do you keep your freelance writing assignments organized?
