Exactly! Three of my best clients are always paid and booked a month ahead of time, so as to grab the best slot in the times I provide (for me, that's 11am-9pm, M-F and 11-5 on Sat).

I don't do mornings, because I'm a bear in the mornings. Even when I was an infant, my mother tells me I was up until 1am and slept late.

I've learned a bit about controlling the day, too. I'm not so popular as to be booked all 6 days every week... so this Friday for instance, I'm insisting that anybody else who wants to book has to do so in the evening, because I have a 6 and a 7 already down. In other words, I won't come in at 11am for one client, then come back to the gym 6 hours later. Funny how obvious that is, but even just 8-9 months ago I would've done the 11am, just to get the client in.

Slowly but surely, I'm forming a more workable, convenient and effective system.
