At work, a schedule is a way to plan what you and other people need to do each day. It helps keep everyone organized and on track with the work. It helps to know who is doing what and when, so that everyone can work together and make sure the job gets done properly. For example, if you have to clean the office, you can decide to do it on Monday mornings, so everyone else knows when you will be doing it and can plan their own work around it. Schedules also tell you when it's time to take a break, when you can eat lunch, and when you can go home.
