I started putting the project budget in the email subject line and it actually worked

We kept having scope creep on smaller website builds (like the $8k one for that bakery in Springfield). The budget was always in the proposal, but never in the main talk. So I tried putting '[Project Name] - $8k Budget' right in the subject of every email chain. It sounds small, but it kept everyone focused. Has anyone else tried a simple trick like this to keep projects on track?

We put the deadline in the subject line too, like "Final copy due Friday".

That just adds more clutter to read through.
