# How do I keep track of every job?

Sort every job by what it’s waiting on.

**For**

See every job in one place, and what each one needs from you next.

**When**

Each morning, and when a job moves

## Try it

6 jobs on a board: 530 done but not billed, and 640 billed and waiting.

To bill today = every job that’s done and not yet billed.

Every job waits on someone; know who.

## Worked out

| Step | Waits on | Your move |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Quote sent | Their yes | Nudge them in three days |
| Booked | The day | Buy the parts |
| Done | Your bill | Send it today |
| Billed | Their payment | Chase on the due date |
| Paid | Nothing | Ask for a review |

## Easy to get wrong

- Jobs kept in your head.
- Done jobs left a week before billing.
- Quotes sent and never followed up.
- One long list in no order.

## Questions

**How many steps should a job have?**

Few: quote, booked, done, billed, paid. Add one only when you need it.

**What do I look at first each day?**

Done and not billed: that’s money you can ask for today.

**When do I nudge a quote?**

Three days after you send it, with one short line.

**What if a job is stuck?**

Write down what it’s waiting on and who has to move.

**Who else should see the board?**

Whoever books and bills the work with you.

**Paper board or app?**

Either works if you look every day. An app reaches you on the job.

**What do I do with paid jobs?**

Ask for a review, then keep them with the customer and the home.

**How many jobs can I track?**

As many as you take on; the step each one sits in is what matters.
