qeorge Jul 9, 2012 | on: Trello is now half million strong | context
We implemented Trello, along with daily working/billing about a month ago, and I don't think we'll ever go back. Working on one project per day instead of trying to do 100 things at once cut my stress in half and doubled my productivity. Trello makes it easy to see what's getting done by whom, and who is available to work on the next item coming down the pipe. Client work gets done faster, and we have more time for internal projects. We have one board for invoices, one for leads, and one for projects. Its a great system. So, we owe a huge thanks to the folks at Fog Creek, and I can't understand why we can't pay them. But also to Ryan Carson and Thomas Ptacek, for their strong recommendations of Trello[1] and daily billing[2], respectively. [1] http://ryancarson.com/post/24884883426/how-i-manage-40-peopl...

People want to pay you hourly/per project, convince them it’s better for both you and them to pay you daily. I’ll explain why in a future post.
I've burned many thousands of words here arguing the same point and will hopefully be able to spare you all a retread, so let me just say that I think a lot of good habits and useful dynamics emerge organically from this one decision.
If you make no other careful strategic decisions about your consulting business, make this one: bill daily.
