Ever Lost Track of a Lead and Wished You Had a Backup Plan?

Hey everyone, has this ever happened to you? I was juggling a few promising leads last month, and somehow I completely lost track of one of the biggest potential clients. Felt like such a facepalm moment when I realized it was gone because I didn’t have a solid backup plan. I usually rely on sticky notes and random reminders, but clearly, that’s not enough. How do you all make sure you don’t drop the ball when things get hectic?

Sometimes I think the weirdest part about work isn’t the tasks themselves but how much time we spend just organizing and keeping track of them. Even if a project is simple, it’s crazy how fast things can pile up. I’ve started keeping little logs of what I do each day, not for anyone else, just so I can look back and see patterns—it’s helped me realize where I waste time and where I should focus more.
