In my experience it's best to start your new work organized. I can easily design, well not always but when I'm inspired, but that part is not an issue. The issue is organizing your work. That means I have to lay everything out for myself before I start something new and then write it down. I even have a notebook now for these things. I experienced disorganization and I'm still experiencing it with my crocheting and knitting. But for this new thing organization is a must! That's why I was so hesitant to start it in the first place, because I'm not organized. People tend to say artists are like that, but I believe it's not true. You can't organize when you'll get inspired and start working, but you are not inspired all the time and you don't create new things all the time. Why not organize your life as best as you can during slow times and when the inspiration strikes you can give in to it and even start a few projects at the same time if you feel like it. I know I always feel like it :)
You can control your organization up to a point, but what if your customers keep charging through your virtual door and you can't keep up? Do you cry behind your computer while smiling from every picture? I believe most do :) But you are a human being with your own emotions. Do you really want other people to see you smile while you cry the river between your four walls? Do you live for others or for yourself? Let's be honest, you live for yourself. Not only for yourself, of course, but you are the first link, then comes your family, friends and so on. Organization is the best tool there is in human world. Not control, organization. We need to separate these two words as they have different meanings.
So, to cut this post short, I am trying to organize myself before I start my new job, because it will be a good start no matter what awaits me afterwards. Even if I crash and burn (which can happen only if I bail it completely), I will learn a new skill which I can then implement into other things.
And with those words, I am going to search for some best free organizational online tools that will help me in my future endeavors. Good luck to you too if you are on the same search as me! ♥
