Keeping track of your construction loan payments without losing your mind

Dropdowns can be handy, but honestly I find them a bit tedious after a while. I just stick with colors and quick notes—less clicking around. But hey, whatever keeps you sane through the build...

"Dropdowns can be handy, but honestly I find them a bit tedious after a while."

Yeah, same here. Tried dropdowns at first, but it felt like I was spending more time clicking than actually tracking payments. Switched to a simple spreadsheet with color-coding—way easier on my sanity and wallet...

Dropdowns aren't perfect, but honestly, spreadsheets can get messy fast too. Tried color-coding myself—ended up with a rainbow disaster. Now I just jot notes in a notebook; old-school, yeah, but less headache for me.

I get the notebook thing—sometimes simpler is better—but honestly, I found a middle ground that's saved my sanity. Ditched the spreadsheets and color-coding chaos after my own rainbow fiasco (sounds familiar, huh?). Now I use a simple project management app—not too fancy, just something that lets me attach receipts and jot quick notes digitally. Keeps everything in one place without the spreadsheet-induced headaches or losing track of random notebook pages...which happened way too often for me.

I feel you on the spreadsheet chaos—I tried that route, and it was just way too overwhelming for me. I haven't jumped into apps yet (might give yours a shot tho), but what helped me most was setting up a dedicated email folder. Every time I pay something or get a loan-related message, I email myself notes and attachments right away. Super simple, searchable, and no more digging through piles of random papers or scribbled notes...which I was totally guilty of before.
