The Invoice You Never Sent = The Money You Never Got!

If you’re behind on invoicing — trust me, you’re not the only one.

It’s one of those tasks that’s so easy to delay… but ends up costing you more than you think.

I’ve seen it over and over again:

• The work’s done.

• The client’s happy.

• But the invoice? Still sitting in drafts.

And here’s the truth — until you send it, you don’t get paid.

The Fix: A 10-Minute Weekly Habit

Getting on top of your invoicing doesn’t need to be overwhelming. In fact, a simple 10-minute habit could be all you need.

Here’s how to stay consistent (without spending hours on spreadsheets):

💰 Set a weekly money slot

Block out 10 minutes every Monday to:

• Send invoices

• Check who’s paid

• Follow up on anything outstanding

📌 Use invoice templates

Platforms like Square, Xero, and QuickBooks make it ridiculously easy. You can even save templates so you’re not starting from scratch every time.

⏳ Automate reminders

Most platforms let you set up automatic payment reminders. No awkward follow-up emails — just a polite nudge on your behalf.

📈 Track what’s overdue

Make it a habit to check what’s still unpaid weekly — not when your bank balance gives you a reality check.

It’s Not About Being “Good With Money”

It’s about setting up simple, consistent habits that help you get paid.

Because unpaid work = unpaid bills.
