Last week, I published this blog post about the #Emacs tools I use to help manage my #freelance business. Lots of #orgmode and things about email, #programming, #writing, etc. What tools did I miss? https://arnesonium.com/2026/04/emacs-freelance-command-center
Emacs as the Freelancer’s Command Center

Freelancing for small businesses and organizations leads to a position where you are juggling a number of projects for multiple clients. You need to keep track of a number of tasks ranging from software development to sending emails to project management. This is a lot easier when you have a system that can do a bunch of the work for you, which is why I use Emacs as my freelancer command center. I would like to share some of the tools and workflows I use in Emacs to help me keep on top of multiple clients’ needs and expectations.

@pymander didn't know about Harper, I'll try that out. Maybe a bit of a philosophical question, but do you have representative examples of when you've moved clients to their own files? Where have those lines been for you?

@ablatedsprocket There is no hard line, it has to do with both the number of tasks and how long I keep them as clients. If they have a bunch of projects over multiple years, they will get their own file.
