Capacity & Booking Board — Notion or Excel Weeks Booked vs Open
By Nydaymuse · Updated
What belongs on a freelance capacity & booking board?
Week targets vs booked/hold/open hours, confirmed bookings, soft holds with expiry, and bookable discovery blocks.
Full calendars hide empty weeks — and soft holds fake a busy month. A calm capacity board shows what is truly open.
Moor is Nydaymuse’s $12 dual-format pack. Pick Notion or Excel / Sheets — one zip.
Weeks booked vs open — protect deep work
Harbor tracks retainer hours banks. Helm is discovery intake. Moor is the dual-format week capacity board. Pair with Harbor, Lane, Helm, and Pulse.
Expire soft holds weekly
Every Active hold needs an expires_on. Convert to a Booking or release — do not let holds push load_pct to Full forever.
Leave discovery slots visible
Keep at least one bookable Discovery block in the next 14 days so Helm calls have somewhere to land.
Moor — dual Notion + Excel pack ($12)
Moor is buy-once, English, no support. Notion CSVs (Weeks, Bookings, Holds, Available_Hours) plus an Excel / Sheets workbook. Fictional SAMPLE rows — delete and replace. Not Cue, Bound, Pitch, Clock, or Roster.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use Notion and Excel at the same time?
No. Pick one home base. Moor includes both formats so you can choose.
Is Moor a live calendar sync?
No. It is a static capacity board you update — not a Google Calendar connector.
How is Moor different from Harbor or Helm?
Harbor tracks retainer hours banks. Helm is discovery intake. Moor is the dual-format week capacity board (booked vs open + holds).
