A: Stay organized, stay organized, stay organized. That is the most important advice I can
give. Some days will be slow and some days you will be working to reach a deadline. Keep
an agenda or a calendar on your phone or tablet. As long as you stay organized and stay on
top of your work, you will meet your deadlines with your best quality work.
