As my business grows in complexity, I am worried about the tangled webs I am weaving. Among account numbers, usernames, passwords, deadlines, and all manner of other obligations: how on earth shall I keep it all straight? I have Quickbooks which is funny, because the finances are the easiest part of my (now) income-free business. How should I keep track of everything? My E-mail is searchable and yields a partial record. Do any of you keep an old fashioned business journal?
Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) said:
Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
OK, so I'm not "practicing to deceive," but I'm still getting tangled up. Help!
