The Productivity Secrets of Successful Artists - FREE tools you can use (2023)

In this video, I share Never miss a deadline & stay organized for free. These are the organization and productivity tools I use as a professional illustrator to organize my work, projects, finances, and schedules to stay organized and on top of things.

These tools are part of my workflow, some are very basic, but they have a tremendous impact on how I organize my work to be always one step ahead. And, as I said in the video, I consider freelance work to be already pretty unpredictable as is. You have last-minute inquiries and projects with quick turnaround, sometimes, you won’t have as many projects as you’d like, and at other times, you'll be involved with all the projects simultaneously.

All of the tools here are free to use, some have premium services or a cap, but they are great.
