Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Quote from: GraphicDisorder on July 27, 2011, 12:43:14 PMOur biggest challenge is lack of extra hands. So its often hard to shift gears from embroidery to screen print to design all in the same day often. When possible we schedule days all embroidery, or all screen print or all design and so on. But its tough at times to do that. So thats our biggest struggle. We are just two people so it is what it is I guess. I think a lot of our issues would go away with another employee and I struggle often about when to do that. Gut keeps telling me not yet so I listen. The girls at the shop each have their own tasks. They break the tasks into time segments. Something like 1st hour of the day is burning screens, next hour while those are drying is emails, responding to quotes. Presses usually don't even start up till after lunch. But at that point all the other stuff and the press spins no matter what till the end of the day. Maybe doing stuff like that will help. It works for me to in my personal life. Like the next 30 minutes is email only... then reddit for 20, then a smoke
