Organized Art?
“A place for everything, everything in its place.” (Ben Franklin)
When production schedules get tight, you really have to be organized to keep up with the workloads. Unfortunately for us creative types, organization doesn’t always come naturally. In my job, my co-worker and I are responsible for video, print production, photography, and web design for over 600 physicians. Yikes. How do we keep it organized?
First, I just want to say that I’m always looking for new ways to re-engineer my workflow. What works today doesn’t always work tomorrow. Schedules are always changing and people are constantly on the move; therefore, be flexible. Second, keep your todo list and other notes separate (I can’t emphasize this enough). I have a lot of deliverables each day, and I find that by keeping a notepad dedicated to “things that must get done” and a notepad for brainstorming and scratch notes is pivotal; otherwise, important information is lost.
Here is a peak into my office and crazy organization methods. Notice the whiteboard within a whiteboard (pretty cutting edge right?). What type of organization methods do you use?
