What systems and routines help you stay organized as a solo--operator?

I think it's important to realize you are only one person. You are going to have to work super hard to get everything going but have some grace when you mess up. 

The biggest thing is there is going to be 1000 things to do everyday (or it will feel like) so you need to try to curb decision making fatigue the best you can. What does that mean? Set your cloths out for the next day the night before, prep your meals, work out at the same time every day. Block off 2-3 times during the day to get back to leads, then all the other times focus on what's right in front of you. Do invoices at the end of the day. Get your reviews from the people in person while you're still standing in front of them. You want to avoid bouncing between tasks. That will exhaust you quicker. When you're planning for the next day, try to set out whatever kit you will need the night before so you can just grab it and go. 

The thing that always got me was telling people I would do their job then me not putting it anywhere, then me not going. People are generally pretty understanding if you give the a heads up that you'll be late. I was habitually committing to times then not putting it on the calendar then I'd get the "you coming?" text. Use jobber or google calendar to never let that happen. Jobber is obviously way better but just use something.
