While everyone with a traditional 9-to-5 is out there getting all excited about payday, we freelancers know where the real party’s at: Invoicing Day!
That’s right, today’s the day we get to send out those beautifully crafted invoices, tally up our hours, and hit “send” with the kind of satisfaction that can only come from knowing you’re about to get PAID. Forget automatic deposits—we work for that money and then work a little more to actually collect it.
There’s something so satisfying about watching those invoices fly out into the world like little financial homing pigeons, bringing back what’s rightfully ours. And the best part? Each invoice is a mini celebration of the hard work we’ve put in all month long.
So, get that Xolo login fired up, pour yourself a victory coffee (or something stronger), and let’s make this Invoicing Day one to remember! Who’s with me?
Hi @cirkeline , thank you for sharing your perspective! For me, it’s more the “nightmare” day where I need to recall all projects that I have left noted here and there and do “office” work not related to my profession and, in the end, having to send several reminders to the clients not left my invoice unnoticed
I’ll try to include some of your positivism to the invoicing day, and actually, I think I should organize myself for, instead of do all invoice 1 day in the month, do it everytime I finish a project, since it’s an option that with @xolo is really easy!
For me, it’s all about finding a balance: being organized throughout the month to keep track of projects and hours, and then celebrating the accomplishment when it’s time to invoice. I’ve found that setting aside a specific time each month to handle invoices makes it feel more like a regular business task rather than a last-minute scramble.
I’m totally with you in this one. I only invoice once a month but then use most of that day doing all the financial chores like bookkeeping, invoicing, balancing the bank etc. It’s like cleaning and vacuuming my home; hate it while I’m doing it but it feels SO refreshing and wonderful afterwards
