A free starter workspace for one freelance workflow: client intake → project → tasks. Works on Notion's free plan.
How to use (5 minutes)
- Click Duplicate (top right) to copy this template into your workspace.
- When a new inquiry comes in, add a row to Client Intake: name, email, service, budget, source and a next follow-up date. Set Stage to New inquiry.
- Move the client through the stages (Discovery call → Proposal sent → Won / Lost).
- When a client is Won, add a Project row and link it to the client in the Client column.
- Break the project into Tasks (one row per task), link each task to its project, and give it a due date.
- Open the Today view in Tasks every morning, and check Follow-ups in Client Intake every Friday.
The example rows show how it fits together. Delete them when you're ready.
