I used to swear by weekly spreads for planning ahead, but after two months of dailies I'm not going back. Getting those 30 minutes of my Sunday back every week adds up fast.

I used to figure the paid classes had insider tricks you couldn't get anywhere else, but after seeing stuff like this I'm not so sure. Turns out most of these "secrets" are just basic stuff dressed up, and the real skill comes from messing with phones and drives yourself. Saving your money and learning by doing seems like the smarter play.

Going from 11 overdue to 2 in six weeks basically makes you the submittal whisperer over here lol. My setup is close to yours but I do the 14 and 7 day pings on the sub side and honestly the 7 day one is where the magic happens, since that's usually when they finally crack open the spec book. The short turnaround stuff is the real killer though, those 3 day review items slip right past a 7 day warning like it's nothing.
