3 Quick Tips to Organize Your Jewellery Business Workspace

"Once you have a clear picture of your priorities – that is your values, goals, and high leverage activities- organize around them."

-Stephen Covey, Author of “ 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”.

Organization. Yes, I can hear you groaning, but we need to talk about it! For some, organization may come to you as second nature, for others, it might be something that you constantly procrastinate. 

However, in order to be successful in your personal life and professional life, you need to be organized! Having a tidy workspace boosts productivity, allows you to think clearly, and can help you run your business fuss-free.

I’ve got three easy tips for you that will help you stay focused and organized. All you need are a few materials! 

1. To-Do List Makeover

 Forget about losing your planner with all your tasks listed out. One of my favorite ways to keep organized is by using a D.I.Y Corkboard To-Do list. You’ll need the following materials:

• Corkboard
• Tape & Masking Tape
• Post-it’s

Divide the corkboard into three columns using tape (bonus points if it’s a bright color). Next, add some masking tape across the top of the corkboard (this will become the top row). With a marker, write from left to right: To-Do, In Progress, and Done.

That’s it! All you need is to write down your tasks on post-its and pin them on the To-Do section, and as you work on them move them to In-Progress, and eventually to the Done column.

2. Master the Art of Labelling

When working with jewellery, labels will become your best friend. Here is how I keep my products organized. You’ll need: 

• A big drawer
• Masking Tape
• Small Boxes

 On the edge of each individual drawer, add a layer of masking tape. With a marker, write out the products that you can find in the drawer. Organize the products in smaller boxes and align them with where you have written the product name on the outside of the drawer. Label each box with a specification, for example, ring sizes. This way you can see which ring models need re-stocking when you open the drawer!
