The Independent Work Trap
When work is there but structure isn't.
The problem
When no one else defines the workday, it's hard to know when you've reached the finish line.
Self-employed work rarely arrives with a schedule. Income shows up in pieces, and there's no manager, clock, or paycheck rhythm to keep work contained and prevent work and life hours from blurring together. Without those edges, it becomes hard to know what today needs from you, or when you can stop with confidence.
The philosophy
Structure around money, time, rest, and agency.
Payday Relay gives independent earning a structure. It turns your money goals into a weekly rhythm, gives each day a clear target, and helps you pass progress forward in a weekly relay race with quarterly "pit stops." You start where you are, run one week at a time, and build a rhythm that supports your work, your rest, and the life you're working toward.

Included with Your Season Pass
Everything You Need To Run Your Race
Your Season Pass brings the full Payday Relay system together: your target, your Google Sheet, and the app that keeps your weekly rhythm moving.
Your Target
Find the weekly number that supports your income, debt, savings, and PTO goals for the year, and keep it: your relay targets get emailed to you as your own PDF.
Your Sheet
Generated for you the moment you sign up, in your own Google Drive. You never have to type in it. Everything you log in the app syncs straight into it: 52 weekly relays, set-asides, and a full-season scoreboard.
Your App
Log wins from your phone, watch your week move from red to black to green, and let Caddy help you stay in rhythm without living inside a spreadsheet.
However you like to work, there's a lane for it. Your relay targets land in your inbox as your own PDF to keep. Your Google Sheet syncs with every entry you log, clean enough to hand your accountant at year end. And the app keeps your week moving.

Thank you for an amazing, simple resource to help self-employed people calculate the estimated payments required each quarter. This is a big challenge to do without a framework. I also love the way this tool helps set stretch goals and track progress towards them. What we measure is a key to getting the results we want.
