Built myself a little command center for my freelance work this week. It’s called Bench.
Contra handles the contracts and payments, but my day-to-day was scattered across Contra chats, Gmail, my calendar, Notion, and a notes app. So I pulled it all into one place:
• A dashboard showing what needs me today: unread messages, overdue tasks, past-due invoices, leads that have gone quiet
• Each project gets its own page with scope, deliveries, tasks, links, and the full message thread from Contra and email
• A pipeline for leads, including a “Ghosted” column, because we’ve all been there
• A time tracker for the hourly stuff
• It syncs with my Contra projects and invoices every morning
Curious how other freelancers here keep track of everything. Spreadsheets? Notion? Pure chaos?
Hey, Mr. @Chris Luniewicz This is honestly impressive! I'm also curious to know what tech stack you used to build 👍
Who is the art director when you are a one person studio?
Me, apparently. I pick the concept, argue with myself about it, change the name three times, and then critique my own logo at midnight.
Working solo means every decision has my fingerprints on it. There is no committee to hide behind and no one to blame. It is slower in some ways and much more honest in others.
If you freelance, how do you give yourself useful feedback?
Hello Contrarians! Excited to finally start my Contra journey after having my account set up forever.
If you're looking for a copywriter, storyteller, or content writer who thinks strategically about where and how to create content to properly showcase your business or position your team leaders with thoughtful pieces, send me a DM!
Also, if you want to chat about how fast work is evolving, or just discuss the future of content, I'd love to connect.
Excited to start talking to fellow creatives and build community here.
