Switched my bookkeeping to weekly after a $380 surprise

I used to only balance my shop's accounts at month end, until a vendor invoice showed up late and ate $380 out of my profit margin for June. That hit made me look at my daily numbers every Friday morning with a simple spreadsheet, and now I catch discrepancies before they turn into headaches. Has anyone else found a rhythm that keeps the books clear without eating too much time?

Friday mornings are the only thing keeping my spreadsheet from staging a mutiny, and even then I've caught myself writing "paid" on a bill I definitely didn't pay. Maybe the real profit margin was the anxiety we made along the way.
