SCRAPE 73
I use simplicity. I keep a calendar next to me. I mark the shop, price, MSC and location. Mark X on personal days. If a shop comes up at the same general area, I put a slash and except the shop and put in the same information. I read my email daily. I keep a notebook for when I get paid, check my calendar to verify and mark date and payment. I don't shop video, which I know is more complicated. One or two days before I read the Guidelines, print the report and make special notes, place it in my folder that I take with me. DONE!
If I am at the airport (shopping only) I contact my regular schedulers, give them the date and ask for shops, I usually get them if available, all bonused.
I think if you are new you might tend to over due, you do need to develop your own. You do not have to apologize on this forum about misspelling, we're not editors.
Take on only what you can do tht makes you comfortable.
