Why does nobody talk about using a bullet journal for project quotes?
I was listening to a contractor friend talk about how he keeps track of his bids. He said he writes each one on a sticky note and puts them on a wall. That made me think about my own system. I started a new collection in my journal just for project quotes, with columns for client name, date, my bid, and if I got the job. It's way cleaner than my old mess of papers. How do you guys keep track of work you're pricing out?

Your bullet journal method sounds way more solid. I read a blog post once about how tracking your wins and losses on paper makes you way better at pricing future jobs. Makes total sense to me.

Honestly it's wild how many people stick to messy systems like that. I see it all the time with my tenants, they'll have a million random notes for maintenance requests instead of one list. Your bullet journal method sounds way more solid, having a dedicated page to look back at what worked.

Tried a similar page for my freelance quotes and it saved me from undercharging repeat clients. Seeing the numbers in one place makes patterns way easier to spot.
