Prysm Note for freelance client work
Freelance work breaks when promises live in different inboxes. The fix is boring and effective: every commitment becomes a task with the client attached, and every client has one note that holds the current state of the relationship.
What matters here
- One list per client, not per project
- A project note with scope and decisions
- A task for every promise, even small ones
- Invoice chasing as a recurring task
- A weekly pass over all active clients
The client list
A list per client keeps the today view meaningful. Projects change; clients persist, and grouping by the thing that persists saves reorganizing every few months.
Promises and follow ups
The moment you say I will send that, create the task. Small promises are the ones that damage trust when forgotten, and they are the ones least likely to be written down.
The weekly sweep
Once a week, open each active client list and ask what is waiting on me and what is waiting on them. The second question is the one that uncovers work you cannot start.
