Track weight and condition across a year so seasonal gain is caught in spring rather than discovered in summer.
Give whoever is standing in for you one page with everything they need, on the stable door rather than in a folder at home.
Take the information a yard needs at the point a horse arrives, rather than trying to find it during an emergency at eleven at night.
Record tack checks so that worn stitching is found in the tack room rather than discovered at a canter.
