Scheduling question

#1:  Raise your rates

#2: Get an apprentice who can do some of the shop work (eventually) and do some tuning down the line...offspring are particularly good for this but alas, mine isn't interested...;-[

Something amazing has happened, and I would very much appreciate advice from y'all.  



How do you schedule your time when business gets good enough to keep you hopping?  How do you divvy up your weeks, days, and hours to ensure that you can provide a range of services?  Do you set aside specific time for different types of work?  



After seven years of hustling to make ends meet (which meant I had more than enough time to work at customers' sites and in my shop), I've moved to a new area which is turning out to be absolutely wonderful.  Today, however, it became very apparent that I'm going to have to become much more careful of my schedule if I'm to take advantage of the work opportunities that are being offered (and still do my best work, of course).



So I would appreciate hearing how other folks do it.  Thanks!
