Hot take: My freelance cash flow crisis ended with a notebook

I was always stressed about when clients would pay. Writing it all down in one place gave me control.

Seeing the dates on a calendar like that totally changed my game too, same vibe as writing it all down.

How do you pick which dates to mark first? I put a wall calendar up for bill due dates and it stopped so many late fees. Color-coding different payments made it even clearer. Turns out, our brains just need a visual map to chill out!

Same! I put a simple calendar on my wall and just seeing the dates made everything less scary lol.

My friend was always chasing invoices until she got a cheap notebook. It's like what @bethhunt said, just seeing the dates laid out makes things feel manageable. She went from constant panic to having a clear plan for her money.
