Side work, levelled in thin wedges
A weekly shim of records
Ten minutes on a fixed day keeps payments, costs and set-aside visible so the week stays level.
Without a record, you cannot see which side of the joint has dropped.
| Column | Why |
|---|---|
| Date and client | Shows concentration of load |
| Payment | Total side income |
| Costs | Some may be deductible under local rules |
| Set-aside | Shows whether the reserve is keeping up |
Update the sheet weekly. Then decide if the next job needs a later date instead of a thicker pile.
