5 Tips for Organizing Your Studio

In this podcast episode, we continue our theme of “organize” by discussing studio organization! It’s so nice to work in an organized space, so let’s make it happen! In Episode #49 of the Thriving Artists Podcast, 5 Steps to Organizing Your Studio, we go over how to take a close look at your space, how you operate in it, and how to optimize both! Let’s get the clutter out! Jamie and Kaylan’s 5 Steps to Organizing your Studio are: Take Stock: Ask yourself what is working and what is not. Do you have multiple workspaces? Are supplies in multiple places? Do you waste time shifting things around as you work?  Look At Your Gaps: Write down what is not working. Are there areas of your studio you are avoiding? What areas are particularly disorganized or cluttered? This will help you know exactly what you want to change. Make An Easy Tweak: We can’t always just move to a bigger space, but we can spend a day sorting through supplies and getting rid of things we don’t use. Taking the time to make small tweaks can have huge benefits in the long run.  Test Run: We suggest you test run any changes for at least a month to get used to things before you spend so much time, energy, and often money making big changes. Invest in Big Changes: Once you’ve lived with some small changes, you can feel confident that you know what big things you want to move forward with. This could be building custom storage in an existing studio, or totally renovating a garage or shed to make your dream space.  We are here for you, we are cheering you on, and we believe in the work you are doing as thriving artists!  Join the Thrive Together Network to build your network of support!
