There are many individuals who are still socially distancing themselves at home; doing nothing while you are currently working on a project or client’s order that has been long due. Moreso, in their state of relaxation and “unbusiness”, your friends and family might develop that feeling to call, DM, or Whatsapp you as they have always done during the total lockdown.
Therefore, one of the best things you can do is to turn off sounds from your phone while you also keep it out of the studio. Also, turn off alerts from blogs to your phone so you aren’t distracted with a headline on the COVID-19 pandemic.
Make a timetable for your day.

Since you don’t want any distractions from anyone as you are trying to meet up with new deadlines, making a daily or weekly timetable is another way to go. Your new timetable would then include setting time out a day before you commence work to check up on the most important people, colleagues, and business partners in your life. It might just be a message on WhatsApp or phone SMS.
However, know what time of the day you work best. Ensure that you do not fix keeping in touch around that time so you don’t end up wasting the major part of your day.
The pandemic is still on and as much as you want to work and make so much money to settle outstanding bills, you still need to show concern about family and friends. It is important to keep staying in touch with family, friends, colleagues, and business partners as it helps you to also remain at the top of their minds which means it would be easier for you to get them to assist you when you need it. Especially when it comes to promoting, getting reviews, selling your art amongst other things.
Temporary Location.
Thank God for the Pandemic, most artists have gotten more opportunities to spend time with their family and friends especially their kids and pets. But now is the time to create and be productive.
In the case that another total lockdown is initiated, find a temporary location that can be used as your studio because of all the likely distractions in the house. Besides, you can pay a babysitter or help to watch over your ever noisy kids and pets as you hustle to get back on your feet.
