I have a small shoip as well as my website. I stay pretty busy painting, etc. Add to that we hsave just moved 3 teenage grandkids in and one is a handful. My desk is piling up, I have a backlog of orders I am working on, I dont sleep and am about ready to drop. Any suggestions???:?:

What can you outsource? I'm a huge supporter of outsourcing.

I dont know of anyone to outsource to in the area , right now I am just hoping to get family more involved to get me thru the holidays. If they can take over the office and general shop. I can get all the painting done . Out sourcing is a great idea though but in a rural area the pickins are slim.

What kind of website maintenance do you need? You may be able to hire a VA to manage the website and even put together the information for the orders. :)
Put those teenage grandkids to work! :)
Make sure to get enough sleep, even if it seems counter productive.
Hang in there!

I agree. Would your teenage grandkids be willing to make a lilttle bit of extra money? See w they say. You need to to balance the little time you have to relieve some of your stress to not burn out!
Have A Great Night!

I'd suggest you make a list of the routine things you need to do, billing, advertising etc and give yourself a schedule and a certain time when you can't be disturbed.
Do the boring things early in the day and enjoy the painting throughout the day.
I try and get all my web, billing, proposals etc done early in the morning and enjoy my design work in the early afternoon. With set times for certain things I feel better knowing WHEN something will be done.
Keep us posted,
Kira
