How do you do several shops in one day?

Oh yes, and the convenience store shops! If I am lucky enough to get a bunch of them, I will do 15 or more shops in a day, then, because they are just so darned easy and they are generally so close together! And I still don't have to travel more than 25 miles from my home.

I rarely do a single shop except when I was working full time and would do one during my lunch hour then another one after work. The most I have done in a day was a route of 14 shops 10 of which were gas stations. The route stretched over 150 miles each way which is how I was able to find space in my gas tank for the required gas purchase at each. I did stay up until 3 AM the next morning entering the data though.
I do shops during the week that center around my full time employment in the city. On the weekend, I can grab a few mall shops -- all within the same general vicinity. As long as the narratives are not too long, it is manageable. Also, if there is a purchase/return with a wait, I will report during the interim.
I recently did my biggest day, a combo of 7 shops/audits/and merchandising visits in one day. The two things that keep me organized are always texting myself notes, especially shop start/end times and when I go to write things up I always write things up in the order it was performed. If I complete shop A, audit B, and then merch visit C, it will get reported in that order.

I don't always report in order. It depends on what I am doing--like if I get a carryout pizza shop (always last) it gets reported first, and sometimes if it's after 6 or 7 when I get in, I will do all the ones that are due within 12 hours first and save the 24 hour deadline ones for the morning. Especially if there is a bit of narrative involved, fresh mind in the morning helps me do a better job.
