Side income, shaved to size
Unpaid ribbons of admin
Messages and revisions peel hours off the week. Log them for two weeks and fold them into the price.
Admin does not appear on the invoice, but it appears on your calendar.
What to log
- Writing quotes and follow-ups.
- Scheduling, delivery and payment chasing.
- Revisions that were not in the brief.
After two weeks, add those hours when you calculate the real rate. Then either price them in or drop the jobs that create too many of them.
