Rotas. Like them? Loathe them? I’m not a fan, but there are obviously some good reasons for having them.
Rotas are good because they look tidy. I love the satisfaction of seeing neat little boxes filled with dates and names, all left-justified, and each in bold showing that the person has confirmed.
Rotas are good because they make you feel as if you’re in control. Once those boxes are filled you feel as if everything is well in the world and all your worries melt away — you can crack open that bottle of elderflower Shloer that’s been gathering dust in the cupboard as you’ve waited for the last confirmation to be received.
