I find my art-business software overwhelming with too many menu options. How can I manage this?

New software always takes time to learn. Use an elimination approach: only look at the features you currently need and mentally ignore the rest. For example, if you primarily use three specific tools, focus only on those menu items. You’ll stop noticing the other options. The unused features are there if you need them later, but you don’t have to engage with everything at once. Having more options is better than discovering a removed feature you relied on. Give yourself time to get familiar, and remember that everyone—even people who work with the software daily—finds it confusing at first. Play around with it and your comfort will grow.
