Tracking Subscriptions as a Web Designer
Last week, I focused on auditing my business subscriptions to cut unnecessary costs and ensure I’m only paying for tools I truly need. Using Google Tasks and Gmail labels made tracking easier, but navigating subscription models—especially with services like Adobe—was a challenge. Reviewing my expenses also gave me a clearer picture of my business costs, reinforcing the importance of regular audits. Moving forward, I’ll refine my tracking system to monitor yearly cost increases and improve financial planning.
