This week's episode was inspired by Sarah, who has a very big problem when it comes to organising her digital files. Keeping organised as an artist can make things much easier for you while you’re working. The Thriving Women Artists, Sarah, Ping, and Dorien are here to give you some really great organisation tips to save you time and effort. 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are lots of things you should be keeping organised as an artist, your digital files, your physical work, your workspace, and something that’s often overlooked, your mind. 
You should have a backup drive on your computer to store both your digital art files and anything related to your business. 
When working in a team, like with this podcast, if you organise it can stop confusion over who is doing what work or what work has been done already. Organisation is vital for communication and teamwork. 
Declutter!
Buy at least 3 of your favourite art supplies. If you can’t find the colour you need, then that will stop you from working, but if you have more than one, then you always have one to hand. 
There are lots of apps you can use to remind you of something important or urgent. You can even use a sticky note. 

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Make a clear division what is essential to store’ 

‘I started to add the RGB or CMYK in the file name’ 

‘Everything has to be in one place, my studio’
