Keeping track of your construction loan payments without losing your mind

"Something about physically writing deadlines and payments on the board seems to stick better in my brain."

This hits home for me. I tried going fully digital once, but after missing a couple of key payments (ouch), I went back to basics. Now I keep a simple notebook for quick notes and reminders, plus a basic spreadsheet just to double-check my math. It's not perfect, but at least I'm not waking up at 3 AM panicking about loan deadlines anymore...
