Which keeps a shift smoother: the paper checklist or the phone timer? On a 7 a.m. start with 12 rooms, the paper checklist lets me glance, scribble, and hand it to a coworker fast; I gained speed and easy sharing, but I gave up nudges and timestamps. The phone timer (Notes plus repeating alarms) gives me reminders, hydration tallies, and less mental load; I gain precision, but I give up glove-smeared screens, unlocking, and that “are you texting?” vibe.
