Oh right, this has got me thinking now.
I've got George set up so each days work in a particular area is a "round" With it's unique name.
Each job in each round is set to a certain week of the month and a certain day (not that the work gets done that day, it's just for organization purposes) Let's say Round2 is on the 4th week, tuesday.
So when I upload a completed weeks work from my PDA, the work is repeated to the following month. And it's all organized and there is no input from me.
How does everyone organize there work? I would love to hear ideas to get the most of out it. And spend less time using George.
sounds like you may have over complicated it?
Hers how i do it
I have 4 routes.
Route 1 starts on the first of the month, which will now be Friday 1st of August, so i can start friday or i may wish to move it to Monday 4th
Route 2 will start the following Monday-11 th
Route 3 -Monday 18 th
Route 4 -Monday 25 th
We will normally be finished by 28th so this month (august) will give an additional 3 days off on top of the 8 days (weekends) and if i move route 1 to the monday (4th) i will gain an extra 1 day off, the friday 1st. so in effect 12 days off
I never drag work forward i keep it in the allocated weeks if we run behind i employ mark for extra days and catch up, i tend to work to the week rather than the date so i may clean any time in the week but in general its the same time / day..In effect i run a 4 weekly cleaning schedule within a monthly cycle as i only clean 12 times and not 13
