Bookkeeping tools worth opening every week
If you dread opening the books, simplify the stack until a weekly habit is realistic.

Weekly bookkeeping beats heroic month-end catch-up.
Minimum useful setup: bank feed or regular CSV import, clear categories, and a reconciled view of cash.
Automate what repeats. Categorise the rest in one short session.
If your current tool needs a manual every time you use it, it is the wrong tool for you right now.
The win is a trustworthy picture of money, not a perfect chart of accounts on day one.
