KEEP A RUNNING WORK LOG.

Keep a list of everything you do in one document. Note what you worked on, what changed, what you learned, and what you submitted, then turn it in as you log your hours.

PROJECT BRIEF

Before beginning, confirm the audience, challenge, objective, deliverables, owner, deadline, approval process, and measure of success.

CAMPAIGN CHECKLIST

Check the strategy, accessibility, spelling, links, image permissions, platform specifications, call to action, and final approval.

MEETING NOTES

Record decisions, responsibilities, deadlines, open questions, and the next check-in. Send a concise recap when the team needs alignment.

FEEDBACK PREP

Bring the brief, your recommended direction, alternatives considered, and the specific questions that will help you move forward.

PORTFOLIO BUILDER

Capture the problem, your role, research, process, final work, results, and reflection. Confirm permission before publishing anything.

30-DAY REVIEW
