WHERE DID THE TIME GO? TIME MANAGEMENT FOR ARTISTS
They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
(Andy Warhol)

Time Management for Artists designed to help you recognize and perhaps reconsider your personal concept of time. More effective planning will enable you to spend more time doing what will ultimately lead you towards achieving your personal and professional goals and objectives.

During this workshop you will:

Gain a clear understanding of how you currently use your time in order to best determine how you really want to spend those hours available within any given day.
Learn practical management methods, skills and techniques for identifying key time wasters, setting boundaries, managing frequent distractions and interruptions, and prioritizing yourself and your artwork.
Discover how to budget your time wisely and most effectively for you and your personal goals.
