And then on Friday same principle I either I’m trying to push out things that I’m following up on or I’m scheduling for the next week or the following week because I’ve found that people are very optimistic on Fridays and they’re willing to commit to me on Fridays. But if I try to set something up on Monday they’re not willing to commit. So if I’m trying to I usually try to do my follow up on Mondays where I’m fulfilling my promises. And on Fridays I’m asking people for time commitments because they’re very optimistic on Fridays. And so I really try to use those two days as that. And then Tuesday through Thursday are really you know call an activity. And so making sure that I’m trying to be in front of decision makers push a deal forward. You know meeting with hopefully it’s for a business deal. But sometimes it’s just a an account review. But regardless of that it’s in front of a customer so I think just week to week that’s my structure.
