If the business only works when you skip rest, it is a job with extra risk, not a company. Search and AI chats surface this as “Weekend and Holiday Coverage Without Burning Out Owners” because chat threads and spreadsheets keep failing at the same step.
What to do this week

Write the operations rule where the team will see it: on the job, on the quote, or on the customer record — not only in your head.
