Do you find yourself easily distracted when you are trying to get your online art marketing done? In this post, I am going to share with you 3 time management apps that help me to stay focused so I can get my work done.

3 Time Management Apps For Creative People

 

 

How nice is it to work for your self and be your own boss?

Whether you are selling art part-time or full-time you are in charge of what you do and when you do it.

If you want to take an extra break during the day you can.

If you need to pick the kids up from school or run to the grocery store you have the freedom to do it.

Selling your art and handmade crafts for extra income is both exhilarating and excruciating.

When you work for yourself you are not accountable to anyone. Yes, you can take a break whenever you wish but when you are on break you are not getting any work done. Let’s be honest, you can not sell your art if you have no art to sell and people cannot purchase your art online if you do not publish it online.

There is no one to effectively manage your time when you work alone. You are both the boss and the employee. If you are not careful you can find yourself easily sidetracked by social media, an unorganized studio and other distractions that are associated with working at home.

An artists time management skills are what separates artists who sell art online and artists who dream of selling art online.

Who would you rather be?

In today’s post, I am going to share with you some of my favorite time management apps that help me to stay on track so I can get more done in less time.

If you struggle with time management you might be interested in my Get More Done in Less Time The Part-time Artist eBook. In this eBook, I cover everything I have learned about managing my time more effectively over the past 16 plus years selling my artwork and crafts online.

Rescue Time

Rescue time is an app that tracks how much time you are spending on websites and applications. If you are wondering where all of the time went at the end of the day, Rescue Time will show you where you what sites and applications might be hindering your productivity.

  • How many times have you promoted a post on your Facebook business page and found yourself scrolling down your newsfeed to see what is new with your friends?

TextExpander

TextExpander is the last app I am going to cover in this post and might be one of my favorites.

How many times do you type your email address a day?

How many times do you type your signature a day?

How many times do you type your website address a day?

How many times do you type the same message every day?

You might seem like it only takes a few moments to type the same content over and over but the time does start to add.

TextExpander saves you time by inserting snippets as you type.
