Short answer: Plan the week by listing known jobs, assigning owners and days, scheduling recurring work, and leaving buffer for the unexpected. Share the plan as tasks, not a spreadsheet nobody opens.
The weekly plan in four steps
List known jobs and deadlines.
Assign each to a person and a day.
Add recurring tasks like checks and reports.
Leave 20 to 30 percent free for urgent jobs.
Check the load
Look at each person’s week. If someone has twice the work of others, rebalance now, not on Thursday.
Review on Friday
What got done, what slipped, what carries over. Ten minutes is enough.
