One place for the schedule
As long as the schedule lives in a group chat and a notebook, it is never quite right. Put jobs in one place where everyone sees the same week.
Plan with margin
Add some extra time per job for overruns and material runs. A schedule that is always tight falls apart by itself.
Fixed moments
Pick one moment a week to walk through the next two weeks. That saves scattered calls during the week.
Keep the client in the loop
A message with the day and part of day prevents most calls: people mainly want to know when you arrive.
