In today’s episode, I’m sharing tasks you can do in 15 minutes or less so that you can keep your Etsy shop growing even when you don’t have a big block of time to work. These aren’t random busy-work…

Today, I wanna talk about needle moving tasks that can be done in 15 minutes or less.
I am gearing up to start my new school year, so my schedule's about to change.
I'm gonna have fewer long stretches of time to work in my shop, And I'll need to go back to taking advantage of those smaller pockets of time so my shop can continue to grow even when my schedule gets busier.
You have a lot going on and hours long work sessions in your Etsy shop aren't always an option.
So taking advantage of those 10, 15 or 20 minute pockets of time that pop up can really help you keep things moving.
Because even though 15 minutes doesn't sound like a lot of time, because it's not a lot of time, there are a lot of things still that you can get done in that span that genuinely move your shop forward.
If you only spend 15 minutes each day in your Etsy shop, that's still almost two hours a week.
And if you can find two 15-minute chunks of time each day to get some things done, that's three and a half hours plus.
So rather than thinking, eh, I'll just wait until I have more time, get in there and do the one thing and know that even if nothing else gets done in your shop that day, you still made progress.
So I have 10 things that you can do in 15 minutes or less that are actually worth your time.
Today, I'm going to share just five of them and then next week I'll give you five more.
I had to break this into two episodes because once I started getting into each one, I realized if I didn't, then this episode would be way too long.
