My Cahier-sized Teal Horween TN from SpeckledFawns on Etsy is at present in use for my client records.
This one has eight elastics, a 2″ stitched spine and an external pocket.
Each active client has a booklet. It contains their contact details, invoicing information, record of our hours, information about our meetings, reminders of things I have to do before each meeting (research I have to do, articles I have to find for them, exercises they need to do).
When I translate I have to keep quite detailed records. For a government authority for example, they have different accounts which need to be charged for different work. Some are per hour, others are per job. Whichever it is, I need to keep daily records of what I am busy with and how many hours I have used.
Each night I take out the booklets I need for the following day. If it is a heavy day, the whole book comes with me. If it is a lighter day, the booklets go into a slimmer cover. I always have a ‘Miscellaneous’ booklet that holds general notes for myself.
These look amazing. So nice to see working ones, not just a shelf of pretty covers!
