# The retail worker week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/retail-worker-week/

A weekly schedule for retail workers: shifts first, then an hour of a side project or study on non-shift mornings, training twice a week and one free evening.

## Why it works
- **The shift goes in first,** and the rest moves around it.
- **Two mornings for yourself** add up to a hundred hours a year.
- **Short reading at night** keeps it going on tired days.

## Make it yours
- New rota each week? Put it in on Sunday and move the rest.
- Saving up? Use a [side hustle playbook](https://gocutline.com/playbooks/start-a-side-hustle-with-no-money/).

**How do you plan with a changing rota?**
Each week, enter the shifts first, then place the two or three blocks that matter around them.
