Finally hit 100 outlet swaps in a weekend, felt like a weird milestone

I've been rewiring an old house from the 50s, and last Saturday I hit my 100th outlet swap by 4pm. On one hand, it felt good to know I can crank through that many without a call back. On the other hand, it made me wonder if I'm just rushing through jobs or if that's just normal pace for older houses with easy access. Do you guys ever track specific numbers like that, or do you just go by the clock and move on?

Are you keeping track of callbacks on those?

Yeah I started keeping a log after I got burned on a job last year. Forgot to call back a guy about a patio resurface and he went with someone else. Now I just use a simple notebook, write down the date, time, and what they wanted. @fionaa35 is right to ask about it because if you're not tracking them things slip through the cracks fast. I check mine every morning before I head out just to make sure I'm not missing anyone who's waiting on a quote or follow up.
