Day 7 – 12 Days of Christmas

Ok, so after a crazy couple of days, I’m running behind on my 12 Days of Christmas.  But this is a good one and I hope it will help a few of you get organized for the new year!  If you are a photographer looking for a really easy way to track your workflow, you are going to love this free download for my client tracking worksheet.  I changed mine to make it really generic and put in some extra spots so that you can totally customize it to meet your needs.  This spreadsheet keeps me sane and focused and on task, especially when it is super busy and I’m frazzled.  […]
