The Quick and Easy Dotted Journal Spread For Client Work

Work, no matter what it is you do, is always going to be a little messy and a lot chaotic. There’s deadlines to remember, meetings to schedule, people that still haven’t gotten back to you despite the multiple reminders.

As a small business owner who’s doing this by herself, here is how I use my dotted journal for work to help manage some of the chaos.

First, a small disclaimer, this is by no means a perfect or fully developed method. I’m just starting out and have only worked with a few clients.

Alright, let’s get started.

This method is a pretty simple one. I put the client’s name or business as the spreads title. Then, similar to my daily spreads, I either split a page in half or spread it across both pages. One side is for tasks; the standard to-do list. The other is dedicated to notes: meetings notes, reminders, creative notes, etc.

The Forgotten Feral’s Cat Rescue will be a charity client.

Now, because I work remotely and all of my work is done on my laptop, I try to incorporate my journal as much as possible, so I’m not always looking at a screen. Taking the time to plan my tasks with pen and paper gives my eyes the break they need.
