Keep references separate from actions
Store the full pattern, tutorial, sketch, or inspiration where it belongs. Put only the action and the specific reference needed to perform it on the working list.
Treat samples as learning work
A swatch, mockup, glaze test, or color study answers a question. Record the result before committing the final material or moving the main piece forward.
- Name the decision being tested
- Record material and settings
- Capture what changed
- Choose the next making action
Leave a restart note before putting the project away
Record the current count, orientation, dry time, loose parts, or next assembly step. That small handoff makes a creative project much easier to reopen.
What Turnboards does—and does not do
Turnboards is a fast shared work list with boards, assignments, notes, due dates, offline updates, and Backlog, Active, and Complete statuses. It does not provide automated recurring checklists, photo-proof reports, invoicing, employee scheduling, GPS tracking, or formal inspection records.
