Deadlines need work before the date
A Friday delivery is not one task. It may need a draft, client questions, a review window, corrections and a final handoff. A weekly board makes those steps visible before the deadline starts shouting.
See capacity before you promise more
Put current commitments on the same week, then look at the space left for a new job. The honest answer may be a later start date or a smaller scope. That is better for the relationship than accepting work that has nowhere to go.
Move unfinished work without starting over
Plans change when feedback arrives or a dependency slips. Cadence is built around moving work to a realistic day while keeping the task’s context intact. You can see what moved and why the week no longer fits.
Keep the work behind the business visible
Invoices, proposals, marketing and your own product work are easy to lose when every day is filled with delivery. Reserve a small block for those tasks so client work does not consume the whole business.
