Records
The admin card everyone forgets
Side work isn't only the work. Invoices, records and messages take real time, and they're the first thing to be skipped.
Give admin its own card
Once a week, a short slot just for admin. Many people use Sunday morning or Friday lunch.
What goes on it
- Send invoices for finished work
- Check payments that arrived, and which are late
- Note income and costs for the week
- Reply to non-urgent messages
Why it matters
Side income is usually taxable, and records make that simpler. Unsent invoices are also the most common way people work for free without meaning to.
