Ok, so I have taken on quite a few jobs & the lack of time I have is making me look bad. Lol.
I dropped my assistant off at the weeding job & mowed my lawns.
I picked my assistant up & went to a house that needed a hedge trimmed ON TIME because they were going to take professional family photos on their yard. I got it done, thank god.
So I trimmed & mowed the house that has had me waiting for them to call me back to work because they needed to put grass seed down... It was a big job.
Then on that same day one of my other customers needs her hedges trimmed & has been on my @ss for 2 weeks. So I told her I'd do it today.
The problem, I have a few more lawns to mow today, an estimate to give, hedges to trim, & a garden that needs to be weeded & finished today as promised, but it's no where near finished.
All these customers expect me to serve them today first priority, but I'm screwed on time & not sure what to do.
Should I do, I have my assistant today.
a) Trim hedges with my assistant
b) Weed the garden with my assistant (I don't think I'll have time to trim then)
c) Drop my assistant off to weed, trim the hedges alone, give the new customer an estimate, meet up with my assistant & finish the garden off. Do my lawn mowing tomorrow?
The hedges & weeding NEED to be done today. Yesterday I picked up my assistant & 4 hours she had 5 bags full of weeds, great, but the garden looked horrible still... It's making me nervous!
If I don't get the hedges done, I'm worried this customer will be on my bad side. I gave her an estimate a week ago, & this week the hedges tripled in size!!! So now it's a big job as well....
The space in my truck is limited, I'll be running around a lot picking up & dumping weeding job & hedge trimming job crap... I just don't know where to start... It's already 11AM & I got a few houses mowed...
