3 Simple Ways to Get Organized

It's imperative to stay on top of things in this business and that means getting organized. Missed castings, forgotten meetings and late arrivals have no place in the world of fashion and modeling. Below are three things you can do to get organized quickly.

PURCHASE A PDA OR SMARTPHONE – In today's digital world it's a must to be able to receive important information on the go. A Wi-Fi enabled PDA such as the Palm® TX handheld
will keep you organized with its calendar and task features while you're sipping on a latté at your favorite café (must be a Wi-Fi HotSpot). Do yourself one better and pick up a Smartphone such as a BlackBerry, iPhone or Sidekick. Each of these devices allows you stay connected with your email, calendar and To Do lists with the additional bonus of being a mobile phone. You can get an email about a casting or big fashion event, call/text your inner circle with the info and add it to your calendar – SWEET!

USE OUTLOOK TO YOUR ADVANTAGE – Microsoft® Office Outlook® is personal information management (PIM) software allowing you to take charge of all your email and contacts in one convenient location. It also has calendar and task functionality that you can "sync" with most PDAs and mobile phones (like the ones mentioned above). In my opinion, there is no better way to keep track of key contacts or check ALL your email accounts than Outlook®.

USE SPECIALTY ORGANIZERS – Sure you can go to an office supply store and pick up one their boring organizers but it won't allow you to keep track of information specific to your field. That's where the great folks at Holdon Log come in! They offer solutions for actors, models and more including career management software and their pride and joy the Holdon Log Organizer.
