| 11am to 12pm | I go to lunch between 11-12. |
| 12pm to 1pm | When i return from lunch I do more credit cards and posting of the payments. I may have some checks to deposit as well. I take the checks and endorse them and then scan them and upload them to the bank website. |
| 1pm to 2pm | I post up the check payments and the credit card payments. |
| 2pm to 3pm | If anymore cards have come in by now then I will run them and email back any declined cards. |
| 3pm to 4pm | I will post up the credit card payments and generate invoices that need to be sent out. |
