Gift Baskets are Stressing Me Out. What Do I Do?

Maria asks:
“I’m having a tough time not feeling overwhelmed. I’m trying to take baby steps, but it seems that everything I do rolls over into another task (design a brochure, take pictures, make baskets, buy products, etc.). It’s all jumbled together, and I can’t focus. Any suggestions?”
All new designers experience similar stress, and experienced designers also go through this situation.
The best way to control it is to find a quiet spot and conduct your own, no-rush brainstorming session. Have paper and pen with you to create a list of steps required to accomplishing your goals.
Don’t worry about the order; you’ll be able to re-structure the steps after listing the most-important tasks.
If working on a computer is better, do that. The technology’s not important; completing the project is.
The steps include a timetable for completion, similar to the business plan shown in How to Start a Home-Based Gift Basket Business.
Each task becomes manageable when you separate everything into small steps. Yes, there’s lots to do, but you’d also complete this mission for someone else who would keep all the profits while you make a small salary.
Many designers have faced and conquered this challenge. So will you.
