Great article on the Etsy Blog:

1. What’s your time-saving trick? (Members can share the tools, processes, workflows or other strategies them help them maximize their time)

2. What’s your most-used Etsy tool? (this would be a great way for newer sellers in your team to learn about tools they might not know about)

3. If you had an extra hour every day, what would you do with it? (Saving time on shop tasks might free you up for other creative pursuits. What would your teammates do with an extra hour?)

thank you Jill.

As I learn something new i will post right now I am "finding me feet" here
thank you to all whom share info.

in this time of the year and at the beginning level of doing all this social media - right now my hour a day is learning and participating

once I accomplish the catching up -

my hour a day ritual would be: t to meditate for 15 mins, write creatively for the next 15 mins and then walk my dog. all of these things contribute to my creativity and many designs come forth!

TREASURY BOX is my time saving tool and my most used tools.

If I had an extra hour, I'd build more treasuries. Why? Because I think treasuries are a great way to connect with others, boost exposure and help each other feel confident about our shop/work. When someone sees one of their items in a treasury, it feels good. Plan and simple! When we feel good, we feel more confident. When we feel more confident, we keep going. When we keep going we eventually start selling and when we start selling, we know it all works. Victory!

I love what you say Tina. You are very motivating ;-)

At the moment I have absolutely no time saving advice at all...

I'm sticking to a busy routine up very early and although we've just put the clocks back an hour into winter time that hour has just disappeared !

Like Tina, I think that treasury box has been my big breakthrough to saving time on making treasuries.

All the tools I use on social media or chrome applications make life easier and my work more efficient but I actually spend even more time using it all now !

Otherwise, for something completely different, maybe I'll invest in a metal polishing/buffering hand tool to polish and clean metals like copper and bronze. Does anyone use one of these in their work ?
I'm spending a lot of time on cleaning bronze lighting at the moment.

When I can squeeze in an hour somewhere I go out for a run on the country roads around my home to resource myself ;)
