Now I know Mr. Fix-It over in the Kitchen is the King of All Things White Board, but he's not the only one who has one. As Elliott & Nelson started picking up jobs, I bought a nice white board at Staples. Ended up getting a good deal on it and listing our jobs and marketing efforts. It worked OK, but the way I had it organized, I had to erase some of a client's information to enter new information. "Submitted 9/1" would get replaced with "Approved 9/15" for instance. This is dumb.
Then when we were making a marketing call with a prospective client, I saw the way he had his white board set up. Using black art tape, he made rows and columns and his white board looked like a nice, neat spreadsheet. Took me two minutes to decide to steal his idea and two weeks to find the tape. But now I have a 10-column board with labels for each column: Job, client, designer, due, staff, submitted, approved, invoiced, paid, follow-up. There are 12 rows down the board for open jobs.
Eleven of them are filled.

Good news is that it sounds like you need a 2nd white board!
That IS good news! At Mr. Fix-it's old job, they had a ginormous white board, and they'd gridded it off using a black Sharpie and a ruler. Tape is a good idea.
Filling the columns is a great idea.
It does mean I'll be working late, but I'm not complaining!
I like the tape idea too.
I think I'll steal it.
Not the tape.
You sound very organised.
Also, thanks for entering my word imperfect word meaning game thingy. You're a finalist for "tumulus". Congratulations!
Thanks for not stealing my tape. I'd feel very cornuted! (Or something...)
Pictures of the white board would be nice.
I agree. Just was too busy making it (and working on the tasks on it) last night to take one. Soon!
Give me link to SEO software (promotion, advertisement, etc.). I'm need it to promote my new e-shop.
Thanks.
