andy i dont use worksheets!its all in my head whos owes 2 weeks etc for that days work!easy when your a one man band(its only 15-25 jobs a day to remember!)
i always add new customers/add on jobs in a notepad while at work.
IMO its wasting time fiddling with a phone while im cleaning!
i print debt lists for collecting as reference but to be honest i dont need this very often as i already know who owes me 95% of the time.
admin takes 10 mins in the evening when im filling up for the next days work!
i always look at the next days schedule and make a mental note and print invoices etc while im updating.
i work my round from a -z roughly all in the same order apart from commercial and stand alone 8 weeklies which get re-jigged now and then according to the weather.
i suppose we all do things differently but this works well for me.very simple! 
regards

Ditto.
There are 2 of us and George is fantastic for us. We also use Pocket George on a PDA each and I know exactly where each of us is due next (2 weeks work schedule in advance) and who owes us what on either of our rounds. So if one of Cameron's customers stops me in the street and asks if they can pay me, just a couple of clicks and I know how much they owe and when the jobs were done - instant. How Windies manage their rounds out of a note book is beyond me. (But I have to add that I came into this business when computer aided control was available, so I didn't have to learn any other method. Much the same as when I bought my first computer - it had Windows 95 and so never understood the early forms of computing using DOS.)
The only 'issue' with Pocket George is that you can't add new customers using your PDA. No problem though, as with Daz, enter their details on a note pad, kept in the van and create a new customer on George in the evening - simples.
The process of completing your work each day on Pocket George is so easy with the check boxes. You can even add notes attached to the customer's address, useful for adding detail ie quotes for cleaning conservatory roof, gutter and fascia cleans etc that I would never be able to remember. Also can add supplementary detail to help with a later clean. Eg., if you under quoted a job but stuck to your original quote, put in the detail of what you expect the price should have been for next time.
And George will tell you exactly what your sales (Window cleaning etc) were from tax year to tax year in a couple of secs.
You can't operate a business with proper control.

We don't use the expenses detail in George as we have always used a spreadsheet for this. This was because we were able to control the detail of our expenses for tax purposes. This is especially so when it comes Capital allowances pooling and a percentage split for private and business use which is not always the same.
It would be interesting to know how many George users use this facility now and how they work it.
For example. I have a Citroen Relay van with a tank fitted and split the business and private use of this van 90% business 10% private.
I also have a Suzuki Van which I started off with (no tank inside), but this has a split of 40% private 60% business as it mainly used for collections on a Friday evening. My mobile phone is split 50% business 50% private use.
