Are you an artist who’s also a parent and worrying about how you’ll keep the business ticking over the holidays?

Here are some tips to help keep your business going without feeling like you’re missing out on time with your kids or like you’re going to drop all the plates.

1. Plan ahead! When can you work? What are your priorities?

2. Be kind to yourself - plan in little pockets of relaxation, ask for help and be prepared to let some things go. The business is there to support your chosen lifestyle.

3. Be realistic - what can you actually manage? If time is not available then posting daily to socials and running workshops is not going to work.

4. Recycle - got reels and carousels that have done well before? Repost them with new captions. Chances are, a lot of your audience didn’t see them anyway.

5. Cheat - use apps like CapCut to create quick reels
