Hardback notebook.
Fill it in daily and date it, then if want to look what's due it's easy.

index cards and box, do the customers in week one and then move on however many weeks then when its all done on to the next week and so on. Very easy system, hope it makes sense

I use a database and spreadsheet but couldn't vote for both . I have voted for database because that is the tool I use for manipulating the data into "work due", "money owing" etc.. The spreadsheet is more for recording the dates when a job was done (though I use it for the daily, monthly, and yearly totals.
If using software, I suppose everyone uses a database anyway. George etc are databases with a front end to make them more user friendly.

3 x George running from PDA's, the lads are each given a loaded PDA in the morning, go off do their rounds and it is downloaded each night. Total time, less than 5 minutes.
If they pick up new work during the day, they write it on the PDA notepad and I copy it onto George at night.
I don't like the diary on George as it only shows you the houses for a selected round, I would rather it showed which rounds were due, so we have a spreadsheet of the rounds for sorting the rounds by date.
Any alternative would have to run off a PDA to be competitive with George.

I run a data dase system because I've set it up to tell me every thing I need to Know
When they started
When they are due
price
outstanding
dates of last three cleans
date last paid
Plus load of other info
As its adata base I can organise reports to suit needs
ie collect list
work list
annual value of round/work
and more recently as I,ve started using a PDA (xmas pressie of her indoors she though she'd bought me a sat nav did not know it was also a PDA) I've started to cut and past round info from the works data base onto a excel spread sheet, then Microp soft money lookes after the book keeping part
