KEEPING TRACK OF YOUR CONSTRUCTION LOAN PAYMENTS WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND
- Totally get what you mean about sticky notes going missing—been there, lost that.
- Paper’s great for quick stuff, but once you’re managing multiple draws or change orders, it gets messy fast.
- I’ve tried a few apps that let you snap receipts and set reminders. Not perfect, but way better than chasing down a lost invoice in the truck.
- Honestly, a hybrid works best for me. I jot things down on-site, then update the app later. Not foolproof, but at least I’m not panicking when someone asks for documentation.
- If you’re out of town, being able to pull up docs on your phone is a lifesaver. Learned that the hard way during a vacation last year...

I get the appeal of apps, but honestly, I still trust my old-school spreadsheet more than anything else. Maybe it's just habit, but having everything in one file on my laptop feels less risky than juggling a bunch of apps that could glitch or update weirdly.
“If you’re out of town, being able to pull up docs on your phone is a lifesaver.”
That’s fair, but I’ve also had phone storage issues or spotty service when I needed something most. Anyone else feel like tech sometimes adds another layer of stress? For me, nothing beats a backup printout tucked in the glove box... just in case.

I totally get where you’re coming from—tech is great until it isn’t. I’ve had apps freeze up right when I needed to check a draw schedule. Ever tried using a cloud spreadsheet? It’s like a middle ground: you can print backups, but still pull it up on your phone if you’re stuck at a jobsite. Curious if that would feel less risky to you, or just another thing to worry about?
