Just Three Places
A simple system for commission creatives who are tired of waking up at 3am wondering what they've forgotten.
If you take bespoke commissions — as a cake maker, a cabinet maker, an artist, a dressmaker, a potter, an engraver — you already know that the creative side is the easy part.
It's everything else. The enquiries arriving from six different directions. The deposit you meant to chase. The client you promised to update. The receipt you photographed and then couldn't find. The job that fell through the gap between your phone and your notebook.
None of this is because you're disorganised. It's because custom work generates information in a way that no standard business tool was designed to handle. Every commission is unique. Nothing repeats. Your brain was not built to hold all of it simultaneously.
Just Three Places is a simple, physical system — a bound enquiry book, a lever arch file, a dedicated receipts email address — that gives every piece of incoming information a fixed home. Once it's captured, it's held. You can let it go.
The second part is a personalised searchable workbook — built around your specific business — that means you can find any client, any job, any detail in under a minute.
I have been running a bespoke commission business for twenty seven years. This is the system that keeps it calm.
The Free Guide
Start with the free guide: Why Creative Businesses Feel Heavier Than They Should.
It explains the structural reasons your business feels heavy — and introduces the thinking behind Just Three Places — without giving the system away. By the end, you'll understand the problem differently. And you'll have been invited to a free Reset session where you can see it working.
No noise. No pressure. Just occasional, useful things.
