K.I.S.S.
The age-old acronym that means “Keep It Super Simple.” (Some people use “Simple Stupid,” but Rebel Fish likes things that are super.)

A big secret to having a successful business, is keeping your daily routine simple and scheduled as possible. If you’re a wedding photographer, you’re also a small business owner. One thing that keeps Rebel Fish at the top of her food chain is how she stays on top of her “stuff to do.” She’s chosen to implement the amazing GTD (Get Things Done) system, but that may not work for everyone.

Another helpful tool is to schedule your week into blocks of time that revolve around your wedding workflow. An example of Rebel Fish’s week:

Sat: Shoot the wedding
Sun: Church, family, friends
Mon: Edit the wedding (no meeitngs)
Tues: Design and post the album (no meetings)
Wed: General catchup on to-dos, errands, emails, bank (meeitngs OK)
Thu: Meetings/business/etc. (as much as possible, being flexibile with prospects and clients if they need to meet on other days)
Fri: Day off
